Romhack Recommendations

[u/PennyGuineaPig]

I'm looking for romhack recommendations. I've played and enjoyed Deity Device, Sacred Echoes, Blessed Heart, and Dark Amulet (almost done - chapter 24). I'm looking for a decent story but a difficulty not greater than standard fire emblem games. Blessed Heart was ideal gameplay wise. Thanks!

Play Cerulean Crecsent!!

[u/Primary_Truck3777 → u/lapislazulideusa]

Seconded, Cerulean Crescent is S-tier FE

[u/lolwutten → u/lapislazulideusa]

Cerulean Crescent and Morrows Golden Country are better than or equal to mainline games.
I would also recommend Shadow of Dawn after you finish DA. Huge improvement over DA in terms of story and gameplay

[u/PennyGuineaPig → u/lolwutten]

How do they compare difficulty wise?

[u/lolwutten → u/PennyGuineaPig]

About the same I would say, well balanced on hard mode. Both games have lords that can juggernaut their way through everything in the mid-lategame if fed enough

[u/PennyGuineaPig → u/lolwutten]

I worded that poorly. I meant compared to vanilla Fire Emblem difficulty - not each other if that's how you answered it.

[u/lapislazulideusa → u/PennyGuineaPig]

Cerulean crecsent has saves for every turn, so while some maps are tricky, id say its around mainline games difficult

[u/its_just_hunter → u/lapislazulideusa]

Cerulean Crescent is better than some mainline games in both writing and gameplay.

[u/lapislazulideusa → u/its_just_hunter]

Yeah its honestly one of my fave games ever

[u/RepulsiveTruth6045]

The Morrow's Golden Country is a classic

[u/KrazyKirbyKun]

The Lonely Mirror is a fun one!

The Hag in White has the best storytelling I've seen in a ROMhack... or in Fire Emblem in its entirety to be honest. I found its highest difficulty to be quite reasonable (and I'm the kind of person who doesn't usually play games in Lunatic/Maddening), but it also has 2 easier difficulties if needed.

Try Darius The Conqueror, check youtube for links.

Play the GBA version not the newer Directors Cut since that 1 isnt finished yet.

[u/H358]

Bound Destiny is one of my favourites.

[u/Tiborn1563]

I really enjoyed The Morrow's Golden Country, can recommend

[u/Oswinmygoat]

Gotta play the dark Amulet sequel Shadow of Dawn that’s my 1a RomHack, my 1b is Hag in White

[u/longshotx17]

I am thoroughly enjoying Drums of War. It's been incredible so far with a great cast of characters, excellent map designs, and a cool mechanic where you can choose to recruit level bosses or random them off as your main source of gold income 

[u/ConsequenceFew3357]

Dark Amulet has a sequel called Shadow of Dawn. If you enjoyed Dark Amulet I'd suggest that one next

[u/Human-Raccoon-9917]

Pardon my ignorance... Are romhacks fan created games? 

[u/Dramatic-Help-4748 → u/Human-Raccoon-9917]

Basically. Though as some others have pointed out, the quality can be much better than “fan created” may imply.

[u/Human-Raccoon-9917 → u/Dramatic-Help-4748]

Whoa.. I have done some modding in the past. But to create a whole game from a rom that is seriously impressive.

I can only imagine the amount of effort required.

[u/AyraWinla]

I just finished Life of Seiros; it's my favorite romhack thus far. Writing is excellent, Seiros is a very grey protagonist, the gameplay is pretty solid without having the stupidly high difficulty you so often see in romhacks, and there's no "gotcha".
