Fire Emblem: Souls of the Forest is a ROM hack of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones created by Scraiza. It features a fully custom campaign with a wide variety of original characters, with one of a planned two routes having been playable from start to finish since 2022 with the other currently in development.The story focuses on the Treuran Empire, a nation on the continent of Norium that has been plagued by banditry for much of its history. The newest empress, Sibyl, has decided to take a stand against these bandits while establishing Treura as a major player on the continent. This includes increasing the number of recruits to the military, as represented by the leads: Beryl, a hunter from the ashlands to the north (named so due to the large volcanoes scattering ash and tinting the grass grey) joining the army to find a purpose in life, and Rakel, his commanding officer.We start the game with Beryl and a squad of fellow recruits joining Rakel in eradicating a group of bandits known as the Raiders. It soon becomes clear, however, that there are far more sinister forces than bandits at play. Odd dark mages start joining the Raiders' ranks, and once the Raiders' leader is slain a new, mysterious army starts attacking Treurans indiscriminately. When it becomes clear that this army, dubbed the Soulbound, isn't exactly human, the heroes are forced to flee for elsewhere, seeking aid in defeating these Soulbound and the cultists who created them.Souls of the Forest is perhaps most known for its gameplay. Characters in Souls of the Forest, regardless of difficulty mode, tend to have very, very high stats (specifically in offenses, with at least one defensive stat often being incredibly low by comparison), and as such player character growths increase very, very quickly to keep up. It's not uncommon to have at least one stat capped before level 10, and given how easy to come by Master Seals are, it's not uncommon to have characters promoting incredibly early to take advantage of their promoted caps (in fact, in most recent versions characters don't even have to wait until level 10 to promote). This means that combat is mostly predicated on a combination of class caps, weapon triangle and the weapons themselves, and the variety of weapons available to the player is incredibly high. Knowing how to exploit the tools the player has is often the difference between life and death, leading to an intense, but reasonable experience.

comment
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Sibyl is noted for her willingness to actually accomplish things. She's stated to have personally assassinated the previous, highly corrupt emperor herself, and if choosing to stay with Valysith at the route split she'll even join your party... though granted, she'll need some help before she can catch up to the rest of your team.

Difficulty Levels: Notably, this can be changed well after you've already started you save in the game's options. There are also optional modes that can only be chosen at the start which impact difficulty in varying ways (such as increasing or decreasing player or enemy growths, or preventing the player from attacking first).

Sidequest: As usual, there are extra chapters that can be unlocked under certain conditions. Unlike how they're normally implemented however, units are unable to gain experience in these maps, meaning your only rewards for completing them are extra items and potentially new units.

The Emperor: Sybil is a benevolent, heroic example, though that doesn't prevent her from being utterly unwavering in her convictions, not to mention going to extreme lengths to achieve her goals.

comment
Cosmetic Award: After beating the Prologue, you're given a gem which corresponds to whichever difficulty you beat it on. If you start with a Hard or Lunatic gem and lower the difficulty, the gem will lose apparent value, and raising the difficulty won't increase it back. The gem serves no purpose other than to say what the lowest difficulty setting you were willing to play the game on was.

comment
Crutch Character: Rakel is a Valkyrie, a promoted noted for its high utility (thanks to having both staff access and a horse). She starts out as an excellent combatant thanks to enemies having poor magic bulk, but as the game goes on her Magic growth (a pitiful 15%) will eventually become her undoing, and she'll be relegated to a back line healer for a good chunk of the game.

Story Branching: A planned future update will fully implement one after Chapter 16. Currently, Rakel leaves the army permanently after this chapter while Beryl remains with said army. In the second route however, Beryl would instead desert to follow after Rakel.

Save Point

comment
Save Point: In place of the suspend feature, the player must instead reach one of these (inspired by a similar mechanic in the DS Fire Emblem games) in order to save on a map. On the plus side, if a unit dies after you trigger it you'll only have to go back to that save point instead of restarting the whole map.

comment
Cast Full of Gay: Various characters are confirmed LGBT+ through dialogue or their endings, with several characters of the same gender ending up together in said endings. The gender-exclusive weapons extend this further by implying gender fluidity in a large chunk of the cast, who seem willing to identify with certain genders especially so they're able to use specific weapons.

Anti-Frustration Features: More than can be counted. To list a few, thieves can now steal even with full inventories (excess items are sent to the convoy), said convoy has had its capacity increased drastically, the below mentioned Save Points let you pause halfway through and save you from late unit deaths, and if your army falls below a specific threshold, you'll be granted generic replacement units much like the official DS games.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: The cult, by all accounts, desires something simple and uncontroversial, a world without conflict or strife. Unfortunately, their means to that end involve killing all of humanity and leaving emotionless husks, the Soulbound, in their place.
