Fire Emblem Gaiden is the second game in the Fire Emblem series and the last Fire Emblem game on the NES. Like Zelda II: The Adventure of Link did for the Zelda series, Gaiden features gameplay changes that would be left out of future Fire Emblem games.

Story

Set in the same continuity as the previous game but on the continent of Valencia, the story follows lifelong Arum and Cellica as they attempt to amass an army to defend the kingdom of Sofia from the invading forces of Rigel and its dark god Doma.

Gameplay

The basic gameplay is similar to that of the previous game, but with new additions. One was a world map that could be explored as well as towns instead of immediately proceeding to the next chapter. The game also added branching promotions for characters in certain classes. Characters also can learn spells through leveling up, but these spells will drain from the character's health.

Legacy

Several of the game's features that were dropped in later installments, such as the branching class promotions and a world map that can be explored, were later used in the game Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

Sequels

The next game to be released was Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo for the Super NES. It was set in the same continuity but worked moreso off of the gameplay and storyline of the first game.
