Play Fire Emblem Gaiden [hM04][T-Eng] (J) Online

Fire Emblem Gaiden [hM04][T-Eng] (J) is an NES strategy RPG where you lead Alm and his rebels against a coup. The battles switch between top-down maps and side-view duels when units clash—simple but satisfying, especially when you land a critical hit.

Early on, you’re just trying to keep your villagers alive, watching them slowly level into something useful. The permadeath mechanic makes every fight tense, though the AI sometimes just walks into your spears.

It’s rough around the edges—menus feel clunky, and the translation patch has its quirks—but there’s charm in how raw it is. You can tell later Fire Emblem games built on this foundation.
