Information

A young girl named Lyn is found to be the long-lost heir to the throne of Lycia. Now, accompanied by a host of knights, she must make her way back to her home kingdom and face her great-uncle who wishes to have her killed so he becomes the legitimate heir to the throne.

A strategy battle game. You have a number of units that you must move around the map. Each map has a mission that you must complete, such as defeating all the enemies, taking an enemy hold, holding off enemies for a set number of turns, and so on. Your troops can only move so far each turn, but you can use items and attack enemies as well. As you complete chapters you will have more warriors join your cause, and you will find new weapons and items to use in battle as well. If you lose a unit in battle then they are lost forever - lose Lyn and you fail that mission automatically.

This is the seventh Fire Emblem game in the series, but the first to be released outside of Japan.
