Fire Emblem is a long-running Nintendo role-playing series known for battles fought on a grid, where players move individual characters in turns and must consider position, weapons and each unit’s strengths. Its stories usually combine warfare, royal politics and fantasy, while choices about recruiting and protecting characters can affect a campaign.

Fortune’s Weave centres on the Heroic Games, a tournament held under the authority of the Divine Sovereign, with a single wish offered as the prize. The four main characters come from very different backgrounds: Theodora is a warrior queen, Dietrech a swordsman, Cai a boy from a village, and Leda a performer.

The series often gives players difficult tactical decisions because losing an important character can have lasting consequences, and in some battles the death of a leader ends the fight immediately. Branching story routes and a wider choice of classes and allies can therefore shape both how battles are approached and which parts of the story players see.
