Description

Vermilion Sea is a strategy RPG with a brand-new setting. It's made for an established, engaged, online gaming community, designed with their insight and feedback, and created by one of their own.

History

Fire Emblem is great, but I've always wanted to make a version based in Chinese influences rather than standard, medieval European high fantasy. I'm lucky enough to have been a part of the online Fire Emblem fan community since I was 14. After many online discussions and debates, I'm making the game that fans like me have been asking for.

Features

  • Tried-and-true grid-based combat, just like the classics
  • A totally unique setting based on medieval China
  • A labor of love guided by community desires
