Pokemon GS Chronicles is a game modded from Pokemon Fire Red, taking the story from Heart Gold/Soul Silver, and changing a few things about it. Pokemon have been added, as have typing's, moves, and Mega Evolution. Take the original story from HGSS and expand on it, find that your rivals are much more in depth than they were, and travel your way through Johto earning badges from gym leaders that actually have Strategies this time and make your way to the first ever Johto Pokemon League. On your way you'll have to catch many Pokemon and stop Team Rocket though!
If you want an extra challenge, you will be given the option to randomize your file as well. Good Luck!
Iron Emblem is a hack that is designed with the only playstyle being true ironman (never resetting to restart a chapter, and the run being completely over when you have a game over).
Every single unit is a generic, complete with covered eyes and identical mugs, and even no real names! They are all just as strong as the enemies, and nothing more, so using them may be a bit more difficult than the usual FE unit fare. The gameplay and setup of the hack were very inspired by my experiences with fe1/11.
The challenge, then, is making your way through all 21 chapters successfully while getting invested in this group of nobodies trying to make their way through a cruel and harsh world of bloodshed and war. I hope you enjoy!
Fire Emblem: Call of the is a hackrom of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. It was built in ~4 months by a team of 14 chapter creators, dubbed Team Distant Roads. The mod features 20 chapters w/ 3 Tear Ring Saga inspired character selection interludes. You can play with up to 65 units total, and 50 in any single run of the hack.
This is Four Kings: Deposition, a short prequel to Four Kings! This story is centered around Daltry, one of the main antagonists of Four Kings, and shows how he began and how he became the man he is in the main story. Of the three main antagonists of Four Kings, I felt that Daltry was the weakest one, since he didn’t receive a lot of screentime or backstory, and his few appearances were kinda generic, so I wanted to remedy that with a new story all about him.
FE: Blessed Heart is a a full campaign total conversion hack with 24 original chapters, 32 playable characters and branching promotion paths with both new and rebalanced classes. The map design is focused on engaging pacing and side objectives, and the hack features: QoL features such as viewable growths, promotion information, expanded equipment options, including weapons, tomes and hold items and, finally, a few dozen new music tracks and accessible gameplay with an optional casual mode.
Castlevania: Serenade Under the Moon is a ROM Hack of Aria of Sorrow that changes the castle to that of Symphony of the Night, as well as making Alucard the main character.
This hack is designed around the restrictions of extremely weak player units. Each of the 8 playable units in this hack has 1 base HP and 0 base everything else. To compensate for this, additional restrictions are in place. Everything is locked at 100% hit, and growths are fixed. Weapons have had to be slightly altered to fit in with this style.
FE4’s ring system is present in this hack, but the rings present all have explicit downsides, giving them more strategic use. P-Down, D-Up may help you take a hit despite your abysmal stats, but your damage output takes a heavy blow. Ring bonuses also stack.
Thanks to the hack’s short nature, you can use weaker versions of Filia’s Might and Nini’s Grace wherever they may help you, without fear of needing them later.
These two mechanics alone lead to very CQ-esque statstacking.
This hack consists of 5 relatively short maps, each with a unique look and song. Enjoy the game’s gradual shift from puzzle to traditional FE as your options expand.
Metroid: Scrolls 6 is a full, open-ended Metroid Zero Mission hack. The hack has full graphical changes and a full original soundtrack. You can play and explore 7 full areas and might also find things never used in a hack before.
