Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo, Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu (ファイアーエムブレム新・紋章の謎~光と影の英雄, Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo, Hikari to Kage no Eiyū), translated as Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem, Heroes of Light and Shadow is the second Fire Emblem remake for the Nintendo DS system, following after Shadow Dragon. It is a remake of Monshou no Nazo, the third Fire Emblem game to have been made.

Plot

Template:Spoiler One year after the War of Shadows between the Akaneian League, led by Prince Marth of Altea, and the Doluna Empire led by the Shadow Dragon Medeus, an imperial edict from Hardin, recently crowned Emperor of Akaneia, arrives at Altea Castle, ordering Marth to lead his army to Grust to subdue a rebellion occuring there. Although Marth has his doubts about this order, he is forced to comply with the orders of his suzerain nation, and leaves for Grust.

Gameplay

Shin Monshou no Nazo marks the first appearance of "Casual Mode", a gameplay mode in which units who are defeated in battle are not actually killed, but simply retreat from battle to recover in time for the next chapter.

Characters

Main article: List of characters in Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo, Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu

With a total of 77 playable characters, Shin Monshou no Nazo has the largest playable cast in the entire Fire Emblem series. Shin Monshou no Nazo introduces the Avatar, a character whose name, appearance, class and gender can be customised by the player.

Chapters

Main article: List of chapters in Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo, Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu

Shin Monshou no Nazo features eight prologue chapters, used to develop the Avatar's fighting skill and relationship with Marth, 24 main story chapters, and six sidequest chapters. Unlike in Shadow Dragon, the sidequests' availability is not determined by the number of units in the player's army, and so it is possible to recruit, and keep alive, all 77 possible playable characters in a single playthrough.
