Fire Emblem

Fire Emblem is a long-running tactical role-playing game series developed primarily by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. The games are characterized by grid-based strategy combat, a focus on narrative-driven character progression, and permadeath mechanics where fallen characters are lost for the remainder of the playthrough. The series originated in 1990 with the release of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light on the Famicom Disk System in Japan.
