About this game

Fire Emblem, known as Fire Emblem: Rekka No Ken in Japan, is a turn-based tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo.

Set 20 years before the previous game, the story follows Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn as they investigate the disappearance of Eliwood’s father. Their search uncovers a conspiracy involving rival lords, mysterious cultists, and the possible return of dragons to the world of Elbe.

Across 25 chapters, players assemble an army of wizards, thieves, knights, and mercenaries. Battles demand careful strategy, and fallen characters do not return, making every decision carry lasting consequences.
