Gameplay

Shin Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Ken retains the fundamental gameplay mechanics of the Fire Emblem series, with a few differences. Some of these mechanics, such as the weapon triangle, were not present in the original Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Ken, but have been included in this remake. The game will feature over 20 character classes, including armoured Knights, airborne Pegasus Knights and Priests wielding recovery staves.

For the first time in the series, players can battle each other online via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. These battles employ teams of up to five characters from the single-player campaign, including the possibility of "rental" characters. The combat takes place on multiplayer-exclusive battle maps, which allow free movement as opposed to the Link Arena in prior games. Only two players can do battle at a time. A time and turn limit are also active.
