The game spans 44 chapters and nearly everything about the game is custom, including story, maps, characters, weapons, music, and much, much more.

Play through a campaign of over 25 maps! (Plus a wacky postgame if you feel like you want more by the end), meet a cast full of all sorts of heroes, weirdos, misfits… and baddies. Experience an entirely revamped class tree! Due to the unique staff situation, lots of existing classes were reworked or recontextualized; a number of new classes have also been created. Listen to a fully custom soundtrack pulled from a plethora of sources! You can hear a few examples in the trailer and much, much more!

Rebellion Saga is a prequel to the Fire Emblem romhack Andaron Saga. It is a challenging hack with a lot of replayability and unit variety.

Eight hundred years before Grado’s invasion of Renais, the Lagdou Empire dominates the continent. Powerful mages rule with technology beyond the ken of mortal man. Condemned by the gods, the empire drowns in blood and fire. A curse of the flesh, cast with fear and greed upon the innocent, births a single entity known as the Demon King.

The Tale of an Untamed Land Ellerie sets sail for the Cerulean Crescent, a new frontier yet to be conquered by any nation. While she dreams of amassing wealth and power, this untamed land won’t be so kind to a newcomer. The bitter feuds between the settler factions may prove deadlier than the malevolent coast itself. The young captain must navigate a treacherous balance of interests to come out of this mess on top.

Ulmaron. A world of constant change. Of mystical researchers. Of fierce warriors. Of fallen kings. Of undying darkness. A young noble, seeking to prove herself. Her path will place her at the center of a conflict that may very well decide the future of the continent.

Dream of Five was an FE7, FEditor-era hack made in the early 2010s by a team of teenagers with too much time on their hands. For years, it has remained dormant, collecting cobwebs as the hacking scene advances in leaps and bounds. Until now.

Llyr is the tactician of the Cipher Mercenaries, a small group of mercenaries that has accumulated fame over the years. After a successful job, he meets with his best friend, King Mao of Jrablibe who in search of his missing father, Aurlen. He believes his father’s disappearance is related to a object known as the Fire Emblem, and requests Llyr restore it to find further clues to his father. Unknowingly to Llyr, his mission would only become a stepping stone into finding out the true meaning behind the world, and his life.

An Unexpected Caller is a group hack using the Telephone format, seen previously in Call of the Armor, Bells of Byelen, and Embers Entwined. Those hacks stand out in large part due to their varied, unique characters and interesting custom maps. This hack features neither of those. The premise of this hack is simple. Make an entirely custom campaign, only using the maps and characters from the vanilla GBA games. While initially meant to be a short, lower effort hack after most of the team had just finished their work on Bells of Byelen, this project still ended up being a significantly longer endeavour than Call of the Armor, which we hope shows.

Sacred Echoes is a demake of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia for the GBA. This public release covers all of Shadows of Valentia’s 5 story acts, with 46 story maps, 1 gaiden chapter, and 8 repeatable maps. Some things are still in progress, but the latest release should address most of the remaining bugs.

Andaron Saga is a fully-fledged romhack for Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

A familiar sun set over foreign soil. The Aulestri pulled back, leaving swathes of their own behind, their fierce legions left broken against the rag-tag militias of the Federal Guard. It wasn’t enough. It would never be enough. Tomorrow, the legions would resume the attack; rested, reinforced, against starving, demoralised and desperate conscripts. Tomorrow, the Guard would break… FE: Drums of War is a full campaign total conversion hack, that implements a wide array of custom graphics, QoL patches and unique objectives, while still operating within the non-SkillSys GBAFE framework. It features 22 chapters, a cast of 46 playable characters and over 50 complete support chains, as well as a number of non-essential secrets. It aims to tell a nuanced, grounded story, without reverting to tired cynicism; no matter how dark the hour, it is strength to be found in each other, and a new day will always come. In gameplay, emphasis is placed on decisive, aggressive play to deal with tight, hard-hitting enemy formations that will overwhelm passive play and outflank lowmanning. It is probably closest in difficulty to Radiant Dawn’s Normal mode, or the Hard/Classic setting of more recent titles, and is designed to be ironman-friendly with clear signposting, a tough lord, and a constant stream of available recruits. An easier campaign with Casual Mode implementation is planned for a future release.
