Is it still worth playing?
Intelligent Systems' tactical role playing game for the Super Famicom, released in 1999 and 2000, the fifth Fire Emblem. It takes place on the continent of Jugdral and follows its main protagonist Leif. You command a group of units on story missions with varying objectives, from defeating specific enemies and rescuing targets to escaping unharmed. Maps hold different terrains, from plains to mountains, which affect movement. Some maps have a Fog of War effect that hides the map until a unit advances and reveals the area in its movement and attack range. It uses a turn based system on a grid, and fights play out automatically on a separate battle screen. Scouting is still part of the tactics, with fog that hides the map until a unit advances.
