Story

At the beginning of the game, the player (controlling an avatar character) is working alongside a man named Chrom to defeat a mysterious enemy. However, after he is defeated the player character stabs and kills Chrom.

The player then wakes up in a field, having been found by Chrom and members of his army, the Shepherds, who defend the Halidom of Ylisse from Plegia, a country who seeks to conquer Ylisse. When they introduce themselves, the avatar shows no memory of their past. However, they and the Shepherds help save a nearby town from Plegian bandits. Even after that, another threat arrives in the form of the Risen, who are undead soldiers. However, when the Shepherds confront the Risen, they also confront a masked warrior going by the name "Marth". The player and the Shepherds must both defeat the Risen and repel Plegian forces.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Fire Emblem Awakening is similar to past installments, but takes many features from past installments while also introducing new gameplay features to facilitate new players. Chief among these is the addition of a "Casual" setting, in which units that are defeated do not permanently die and are instead unable to be used for the remainder of the battle.
