Fire Emblem: Code of the Burger King is a ROM hack of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones created primarily by Retina. It can be best described as an Affectionate Parody of the game's ROM hacking community as a whole, though with gameplay that helps it to stand alongside its more serious-minded counterparts.
The player's army is led by one Burger King (hereafter referred to as BK), an armored fry cook with a familiar appearance. On a typical day of work, BK winds up snapping after dealing with one particularly annoying customer, killing him before going on the run with life partner Sephiran. The rest can't quite be described as a Random Events Plot, going places one isn't bound to expect.
The cast is primarily comprised of various Fire Emblem characters from the series' past, though with occasional memes and (yes) actual people thrown in for good measure. The game is full of secret items and characters, and the gameplay is different enough (featuring high stats across the board and a reclassing system unique to itself) that it's bound to leave a lasting impression on the player, assuming everything else doesn't first.
The main campaign (around 26 chapters including the Gaidens) is complete, and a post-game area with multiple trial maps and unlockables is still in development.
