The story follows Chrom, a prince of the kingdom of Ylisse, and his companions as they struggle during a turbulent era. Players are able to combine the might of nearby allies to enter dual battles to defeat enemies.
The traversable world map, last seen in The Sacred Stones, and special skills like Astra from Radiant Dawn make a return. This game also features a customizable Avatar, a feature last seen in New Mystery of the Emblem. There is also a playable second generation of characters, which was last seen in Genealogy of the Holy War.
