Fire Emblem: Drums of War

On the foreign soil, the blazing sun dipped below the horizon, casting an ominous shadow over the war-torn landscape. The Aulestri Empire's relentless legions had been pushed back by the valiant Federal Guard, but at a terrible cost. The legions would regroup, replenish their ranks, and launch a devastating counterattack against the exhausted, demoralized, and starving soldiers of the Guard. Fire Emblem: Drums of War is a groundbreaking total conversion hack, merging innovative graphics, quality-of-life improvements, and unique objectives within the classic non-SkillSys framework. This epic campaign spans 22 chapters, featuring a diverse cast of 46 playable characters, over 50 intricate support relationships, and hidden secrets waiting to be uncovered. Through a gripping narrative, Drums of War weaves a poignant story, eschewing jaded cynicism for a more nuanced, grounded approach. Amidst the darkness, the game's message shines through: unity, hope, and resilience will carry the day. In gameplay, every skirmish demands aggressive, decisive tactics to outmaneuver the enemy's formidable formations, which will mercilessly overwhelm passive play and exploit vulnerable units. Designed to be challenging yet rewarding, Drums of War's difficulty is comparable to Radiant Dawn's Normal mode or the Hard/Classic setting of modern titles. The game caters to ironman enthusiasts, offering clear signposting, a tough lord, and a continuous supply of recruits to bolster the player's forces. A more accessible Casual Mode is planned for a future release, providing an alternative path for those seeking a more relaxed experience.
