Game storyline: Medeus, the king of the dragonkin, has been
revived and is forming an alliance with a fearsome sorcerer named
Gharnef. Together, they threaten to the throw the entire
continent of Archanea back to an age of chaos and war. Now, it's
up to young Prince Marth and his small band of loyal followers to
rise up and rally all those left in the land to make one last
desperate push to free Archanea from the tyranny of the Shadow
Dragon.
How to progress through the game: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon is a
turn-based strategy game with a fantasy setting. Players
alternate turns with nents, moving their pieces (units) and
attacking enemy units on the battlefield. There are dozens of
units and different weapons and magic spells, each with its own
strategic benefits-high-flying Peus knights move effortlessly
over varied terrain, fast-moving ed cavaliers can use s
and lances, unarmed curates use healing staves to mend the wounds
of other units and so on.
Characters: Many groups play a part in a story but undoubtedly
the story's protagonist, Prince Marth, will be the focus for
most. Marth has been featured in the Super Smash Bros. series and
has been extremely popular within those games, but this is his
first time starring in a Fire Emblem game in the United States.
At Marth's side is a support of fearless fighters, including the
brave Caeda, a princess of the Talys kingdom. Other major
characters include the evil sorcerer Gharnef and the sole
surviving descendant of the royal House Archanea, Princess Nyna.
