The most noticeable characteristic of the Fire Emblem series as a whole is, without a doubt, its “permadeath” mechanic, and while it encourages the player to think things through, makes every decision count and subsequently leads to a lot of edge-of-the-seat tension and excitement, it’s also made it a fairly intimidating series for newcomers, while others just don’t want to feel forced to restart a chapter, especially a long one, every time they lose a character. However, like in Shadow Dragon, the Mercenary, Hunter, Fighter, Pirate, and Dark Mage class lines are still male-only, while the only classes exclusive to female characters are Pegasus Knight and Falcon Knight. The base mechanics are largely unchanged, which is also standard for the series, but the class change system that was introduced in the previous game had received a minor tweak: Promoted female units can now change class to General. Shin Monshou no Nazo‘s graphics are identical to those of Shadow Dragon, but this is nothing unusual, as the only time the series had changed graphical engines on the same platform was between the original Monshō no Nazo and Seisen no Keifu. Called “Roro” in Japan and the fan translation, but his official English name is Legion, as revealed in Fire Emblem: Awakening, where he is a downloadable character. CharactersĪ thoroughly psychotic berserker working for a mysterious organization of assassins, who never stays dead for long. There is one major difference between the original story and the remake’s story: While Marth would be remembered throughout history as a hero-king, there was another hero, a close friend of his, whom history had forgotten (the original Monshou no Nazo is depicted as the “official” account of the story, while the remake is considered the “true” version of the events). However, suddenly and unexpectedly, one of Marth’s most trusted allies, Hardin, the newly-christened Emperor of Akaneia, became an evil and power-hungry man seeking to conquer the continent, and it’s up to Marth and his friends to get to the bottom of his sudden madness and stop him. Being a remake, the game’s basic storyline is mostly the same as before: a couple years had passed since Marth and his friends defeated Medeus and Gharnef, and peace was restored. With Shadow Dragon having received its second remake for the DS, it was within reason to assume that the next move Nintendo would make would be to remake its sequel, Monshou no Nazo.
