Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi (which loosely translates to Fire Emblem: Dark Dragon and Sword of Light) is a tactical action role-playing game and the first game of the Fire Emblem series, which was never released outside of Japan.
Story
The evil priest Garnef has plotted to resurrect the evil dragon Medeus, which spells the end of Altea's period of peace. Prince Marth, who is descended from the original slayer of Medeus, has also been exiled with his father having been killed and his sister Ellis taken hostage by the forces of Garnef. Marth then assembles a group to go on a quest to save Altea and his sister from Garnef and Medeus by seeking the Falchion Sword.
Gameplay
This game set the standard for the gameplay of the later games. The player controlled multiple types of medieval themed-units which they could move around the map to attack other enemies. Chapters are usually won by defeating all enemy units or the boss character.
Legacy
Ports/Remakes
- The first half ("Book One") of the game Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo acted as a condensed remake of Ankoko no Ryuu which featured enhanced graphics and dropped some of the original characters from the cast, among other new features.
- A Nintendo DS remake, titled Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (known in Japan as Fire Emblem: Shin Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi, which loosely translates to New Dark Dragon and the Blade of Light) was released in 2008. This is currently the only version of the game to receive an international release.
- The original NES game has received releases on all iterations of the Virtual Console in Japan: for the Wii's Virtual Console in October 2009, for the 3DS Virtual Console in August 2012 and for the Wii U Virtual Console in June 2014.
Sequels
The next game in the series was Fire Emblem Gaiden, which was set in the same world, but was a side story and featured heavily altered gameplay (akin to the alterations made in the second Zelda game). Additionally, while Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo starts out as a remake of Ankoko no Ryuu, the second half of the game ("Book Two") acts as a direct sequel to the game's events.
