DW FE - Stage 1 (Chaos)
45This is a fan made game created by a friend of mine. It's basically a big crossover of characters from various properties stuck into one, FE style game. It was made with SRPG Studio.
This is actually an older build of the game I'm playing, there's a new one with more stages and an additional difficulty, but I felt this one was the best difficulty to show online. There are 4 difficulties in the final version, Casual, Classic, Chaos, and Pandemonium. Casual and Classic are the same difficulty, except no one dies for real in Casual. Chaos is hard and Pandemonium is a pain in the ass hard. I'm playing on Chaos difficulty.
Consider the story something like watching the Justice League or Avengers, where you don't see HOW all these characters ended up together and knowing each other. It's not really meant to make sense, so just roll with it and enjoy the ride.
Our starting party is Yuan Shao, the main character of the game fitting into the role of Lord. Sima Yi, our mage, Gracia, our cleric, and Masayuki, our Paladin crutch. Yuan Shao and Sima Yi grow to become two of the best characters in the game, while there are multiple magic-based options for Gracia to turn into, and Masayuki is the kind of crutch that can be good the whole game, but will fall behind other characters the more trained they become.
The first stage is fairly simple, you have the initial enemies that move towards you and the nearby enemies to lure into range to start clearing them out before getting overwhelmed. A looter appears not too long in, but Masayuki can always just go and take care of him on his own. The biggest concern here is making sure Gracia, who has no offensive capabilities yet, stays out of harms way. In this early part of the game, losing anyone is a game over.
Masayuki can more or less solo the whole stage if you wanted, but that's depriving valuable EXP from Yuan Shao and Sima Yi, who will both start to become good rather quickly. After playing this game 3 times on different difficulties, Sima Yi always ends up as an incredibly powerful tank that laughs off magic attacks with absurd Res and Yuan Shao becomes a good all-around powerhouse that can do just about anything. Gracia has 4 classes she can promote to, but one of them is Dancer, so you're pretty much just going to make her a Dancer every time and that alone makes her worth keeping around.

At the end of the descriptions I'll give a rundown of each new characters and bosses.
Yuan Shao - The main character. He grows to be strong in all areas, but is locked to swords and foot to balance him out. His only real flaw is that it's very easy for him to reach his non-promoted level cap, and he promotes late, however even with this flaw he can still take on anything. He has the most Supports in the game, which give bonuses when they fight near each other, so it makes him extremely reliable if your party consists of his supports, which it most likely will.
Sima Yi - Your main mage, has a very good magic growth, however he is squishy AND unlucky. He can survive a few hits early on but his low luck is always an issue so expect that one critical to obliterate him. He grows to be the most powerful character in terms of sheer damage, but like Shao he promotes late so care is needed to not have him reach the cap early on and waste EXP when you need him.
Gracia - Your healer for a good while. You see, Gracia is not a fighter nor does she have experience in combat, so it stands to reason she'll join very under-powered. But of course, being a healer, she is INVALUABLE, and her promotion options allow her some degree of versatility, however her best option by far is promoting to Dancer. She won't grow to be strong as a mage like Sima Yi, not even close, but being able to give a mage like Sima Yi another turn makes her absolutely worth it in the long run. Her use of Light magic also gives her an edge against undead too, but they are uncommon enemies.
Masayuki - The crutch of the game. Crutches are a type of character who is part of your initial party but start high level and thus have high stats. The catch? They level extremely slowly and their growths are not that good. Masayuki can CRUSH ANYTHING in the early parts of the game, but because of said flaws, doing so will cause problems when your other characters are too weak for the later enemies. Masayuki is perfectly usable in the long run and is VITAL on the higher difficulties, but he is easily surpassed.
BOSS Gorg - Not much to say here. Very easy. He can retaliate on Chaos but just weaken him with Shao. He won't attack Gracia.
