Sacred Echoes is a demake of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia for the GBA. The complete patch includes all of Shadows of Valentia’s 5 story acts, with 46 story maps, 1 gaiden chapter, and 8 repeatable maps.
Features:
The Gaiden/Echoes magic system, where spells are learned by level-up, are accessible through the B.Magic or W.Magic menu, and cost HP to cast.
Various mechanics tweaks to mirror Echoes and Gaiden’s combat system, including the EXP formula.
Different maps and objectives from the source games.
Weapon Triangle applies to equippable weapons and can be one-sided. Think carefully about how to approach WTA and WTD!
Branching promotions for the Villager classes, with 5 possible class options for each. (Faye now has access to the Archer line.)
3rd tier classes, with expanded caps allowing stats to reach 40. The dread fighter → villager loop is also included. Female sages can now promote into female dread fighters and take part in the loop as well.
A functional world map that can be explored, just like in the originals.
Still CGs adapted from Echoes (and some original art!)
Additional units to fill gaps in the Echoes roster (a Thief and an axe user)
Sacred Springs allowing units to gain experience, stat boosts, or even revive dead units.
Casual/Classic mode split.
All-new GBA remixes of Gaiden and Echoes soundtrack.
Various UI improvements.
