2021

Only the first part of the story at the time of this writing, but I eagerly await the second half. Gameplay has a bit of jank expected from rpgmaker solo developing, so I won't hold that against it too much (watch out for bits where talking to an npc in specific points may block your path).

Story is really intriguing and while it leaves a lot of open ends (again by virtue of only being the first half), it is compelling and does a great job of endearing you to the protagonist and their tragic journey. And the art is GORGEOUS. I cannot stress this enough, if you play this game for a single reason, it has to be the art. Beautiful character artwork and incredible CGs that illustrate the story in a way that the typical rpgmaker overworld sprites never could.

THE best fire emblem game. Worldbuilding is held up with tape and toothpicks but makes up for it by being interesting and having cool villains. Gameplay may not be terribly hard, but it's perfect for really fun challenge runs. I would give up my life for Princess Eirika.
