Black Fang's new look Diablon
? ?Fire Emblem Blazing Sword's Black Fang has their own story and adventure. Take the side of the Black Fang's assassins and get some perspective.
? ?The game starts as the story of Blazing Sword ends, with the Black Fang's new leader, Chadwick. Chadwick is trying to restore former glory to the Black Fang's charred name. He finds himself at the mercy of the law officials as well as the armies of Elibe and desperately tries to get by and survive with his fellow assassins and family.
? ?This game has the average Fire Emblem style of play, but has innovation through its story. It's story is very different than that of the FE series, as it shows the perspective of the "Evil" side of the story at the mercy of the "Good." Many chapters involve surviving a turn limit, or escaping. The characters and people you recruit range from mentally disturbed children to exiled priests. While the characters are strange, they have a very attractive personality and many are very comedic. When you play as the assassins, you cannot help but feel compassion for their cause. The story does a very good job at making the player get attached to his soldiers and somewhat despise the "Good" as they hunt you down.
? ?The only major flaw in the hack itself is the character sprites. Many character sprites are seemingly pieced together from past FE games, while some are very well done. Map structure in some chapters need improvement, while some are excellent in forcing the player to escape the level quickly or recruit some characters quickly.
? ?While the game has a few noticeable flaws, this game is a must for players who enjoyed Blazing Sword. The perspective of the assassins creates an atmosphere and attractiveness for anyone to be hooked. It is very easy for the player to grow fond of their soldiers and Chadwick. Unfortunately the game is not finished and was a huge letdown for myself. When I hear that this game is extended or finished, I will happily play and finish this hack. I am waiting and looking forward to it if it will happen.?
Pretty awesome game.
