PostDark Deity - Fire Emblem style SRPG goodness on PC
by Ironhide » Wed Jun 16, 2021 3:11 pm



Command legendary heroes to reshape a land fractured by broken oaths, reckless wars, and secret arcane powers. The technological and cultural achievements of a once-great civilization now lie locked inside the ruins of ancient temples throughout the world of Terrazael. Long after society’s mighty history is snuffed out by a powerful and mysterious “Calamity”, the people of Etlan teeter on the brink of total war.

In a desperate attempt to bolster his recruit ranks, King Varic of the Kingdom of Delia expedites the graduation of all students at the Brookstead Military Academy, severing a pact that has stood for a thousand years. With the course of their future undemocratically derailed, these four “graduates” of the Brookstead Academy set out to leave their mark on this world.

This is their story.

Just had a quick go on this and can safely say it's a decent attempt at bringing Fire Emblem to the PC

Doesn't seem to be permadeath when a party member is downed but they do get an injury which is a permanent stat reduction (my thief lost 2hp when she was KO'd).

I like it.

:lol:

It looks very knock-off Fire Emblem to me, and I'm not a huge Fire Emblem fan to begin with. It's cool though especially if, as it looks it might, it gives a more classic Fire Emblem experience without all the waifu stuff.

Have you played The Banner Saga Ironhide? It's not quite the same but I did really like the first game in that series.

I literally have no idea what Fire Emblem even is, other than the fact that people seemed to hate it because it stopped Advance Wars games being made?

The battle animations in this look nice I'll say that much

Its definitely unashamedly so, although it does lack some of the Nintendo/Intelligent Systems spit and polish (spelling and grammatical errors everywhere and the dialogue isn't great).

I did play the Banner Saga parts 1 and 2 but didn't finish the 2nd as it kind of dragged on a bit by that point. I did really enjoy the first part though.

I might give it a go as it does look quite good but one of the draws for me when it comes to games like this is that I can play it on a portable device. Currently playing Tactics Ogre again on my PSP. :datass:

It's a kind of character creator for smash bros

Having spent a few more hours with this its becoming very apparent that the game needed quite a bit more work doing before release as its a little on the janky side.

There's spelling and grammar mistakes everywhere, random graphics issues (wrong character portraits being displayed, wrong sprites being displayed .etc) and I've had a few party members level up in battle without them actually doing anything.

Hopefully the devs will at least attempt to improve the game but I won't hold my breath while I wait.

Before I scrolled down to this post I was honestly just about to ask if it had the Waifu stuff and wasn't going to bother if it didn't :slol:

It's the best part! :toot: Fire Emblem is a dating sim with some turn based tactics on the side.

Looks like the devs are patching in the ability to save mid battle at some point in the near future.

This pleases me immensely.

Still playing this and while it still has issues I'm enjoying it.

My main gripe atm is some of the in-game text is almost impossible to read due to a combination of it being tiny and horrible choice of colours (dark purple on a black background WTF?).

Also desperately needs a proper tutorial and explanation of what certain unit types are strong/vulnerable against as it's not entirely obvious (theres a FE style 'triangle' but certain armour types and weapons are exempt from this).
