Once upon a time… In a grand grand old land…
Enter, Unforgotten Realms: Legend of Life and Death! Set in the titular Unforgotten Realms, it is a fantasy kind of facetious romhack where you play as a group of adventurers battling their way to glory. The backdrop is a war being waged between the living and the undead, which our heroes will get more involved with as the story goes on.
Though the game is set in the Unforgotten Realms universe, the romhack is still made as a standalone experience that people can enjoy regardless of whether one is familiar with the source-material. It’s also made so that people who haven’t played fire emblem before should be able to complete the game on easy, while hard still offers a challenge to experienced players, al though for a romhack I’d say it is on the easier side
Currently sitting at around 20 chapters, with 10 more to come, the hack features 50 player characters, a lot of enemies to go up against, and classes from trainees to T3s.
All the classes from FE8 that we all know and love are present, as well as around a dozen or so more which have been added inbetween each of the existing promotion paths, making the many promotion trees of FE8 into more like two large promotion circles with one for magic and one for melee.
You can judge the level design for yourself, though it’s certainly been crafted with at least some passion and attention. Like any good modern fire emblem hack, skillsystems is utilized, and there’s also many new spells and a few new weapons to have fun with.
Overall, it’s a fantasy romhack with all the plot, gameplay, and level design you could want from a great tactical RPG!
I’ve been working on this project for the last one and a half year or so, and have been around in the discord on and off a bit.
It’s meant as a continuation and conclusion to the main story of the Unforgotten Realms Live webseries that ran from 2016-2018, and I’ve currently got about 20 chapters playable, though there’s a lot of missing cutscenes and a couple of graphical errors.
I thought I’d post about it here, since it seems like something a lot of people are doing, and I do like forums. I’ll only be posting the old demo I made for now though, which has the first five chapters. If you’re interested, then thanks for checking it out, and if you send me a message, I might be able to send you the current version for testing and so on!
I might also update this thread at some point with more general info about the game’s features and so on.
With that, thank you for reading, and remember to stick to the plan!
EDIT: Can’t include links in my post atm so awaiting some way of doing that before being able to include the demo lol
In the meantime, ig I’ll post some screenshots:
