Beat the story in 2-3hrs. Gameplay is smooth and quick. Guessing shadow is simply a guess. If you spend a lot, you’ll demolish everyone everytime. Don’t recommend spending, as like 12 of the 14 units are free and the game is overly generous. There’s no point in spending, as matchups seem to be random. Could […]

this isn’t a true fire emblem game, you’ll have to rely on online matching with other members. The battle system is too slow and almost no control of what you want to do in battle. The only thing I liked was the art. This isn’t a quality game from Nintendo. It feels like a cheap […]
I enjoy the character designs and how the light and shadow concept work but I’m pretty sure you get bots paired against bots until a certain level (this is just because I immediately get found out despite playing my hardest to throw people off so it might just be a skill issue tbh). Battle pass […]
As a huge FE fan, I dont think this deserves the FE title. I’m not a big fan of all the characters being animals. the plot seems like there’s so much laking that needs to be filled out. I also don’t care for them putting legacy characters (like Lyn and Dimitri) in the game as […]
This game does have potential to be fun, but the gameplay is just a big nothingburger currently. The matches are way too quick and it takes no strategy to play. If they can refine the gameplay loop, I’m sure this will become a sleeper hit. But, in it’s current state, unless you focus more on […]
Given some thought after playing it…for 10 hours total : it’s pretty alright. Still not Fire Emblem by any means, but it still has the strategy and a bit of Fire Emblem mechanics. Tons of skills to choose from playing with a variety of characters. Bazaar is a weird feature and just there to buy […]
It’s far from a traditional Fire Emblem game, but it is still a super interesting concept and pretty fun. The game is also play to win rather than pay to win so I do enjoy that as well. I think the game just needs a little more strategy to it, which probably kicks in way […]
when I saw that it was 3 stars I didn’t really believe it was gonna be bad. it’s basically among us but with fire emblem tactics. except you can’t guide your character; it walks for you, and you place where you want your attack to hit instead. you can be the betrayer or the light, […]
Yeah, this game needs a bit more time in the oven. It’s a good idea, but executed poorly. Active Time Battles? Sure, it’s a mobile PVP game. Not being able to influence your own character’s movement or targeting? Why? No gacha, which is a plus. Please keep it that way. Also, the story is simply […]
This game is painfully mediocre. Character designs are cool, story is fine. Everything is is mid or bad. Progression is tied to how many games of Among Us you play. But the game feels random. Who wins feels like it comes down to “Did the bad guy have weapon triangle advantage”. Some characters do feel […]
Decent gameplay with lots of room for neat additions down the line in the way of characters, weapons, and abilities. Very predatory monetization and pay-to-win structure is going to threaten the free-to-play users’ experience. Players are forced to buy more premium currency than they need in order to acquire the battle pass. Major progression wall […]
It’s a cool enough idea. But it’s a pure pvp game from what I see. Seems like it will be a Pay 2 Win mess as well since a lot of your power up can straight up be bought with money and no grinding. the “Deception” mechanic was always super obvious and shallow. Far as […]
Fun game, battles are quick, it’s easy to learn but has room for you to learn how to play, and other than the battle pass, there’s no pushing for micro transactions,overall if you are expecting a traditional fire emblem game, you may be disappointed but as a game on its own, it’s fun and can’t […]
Sorry, this is just not it. The game is confusing and stressful, and you don’t even get to control your character. The character designs are cool, but the gameplay is just too rushed to be fun. Fire Emblem is supposed to be about strategy, and it’s impossible to strategize in a game where you can’t […]
As a longtime Fire Emblem, I found the game rather disappointing. Maybe it’s still in the experimental stage, but if you play the originals, you might not like this one. Your characters move automatically towards the enemy target rather being able to guide them and plan your movements. No character growth—at least not from what […]
I am a long time enjoyer of fire emblem and have played many over the years. This game is an auto battle simulator with quick time events in the form of magic attacks that could be arguable as a strategy game. However they do this to set up for the main event of the game, […]
Gameplay is very shallow. only 3 players means it’s very easy to tell who the imposter is as they’re usually the last one standing. Unless, they choose to not use their attacks at all. The store and battle pass feels like they’re there just because it’s a mobile game and there needs to be in-app […]
Auto combat affected by your team using skills is an interesting twist. The introduction of social mechanics would be fun, except it seems more random than it should. The extra life if you guess correct would be useful, if the power creep in this game wasn’t so bad. once you get a few hours in, […]
Not a bad game, the story is really fun so far and I enjoy the way the combat works- my main issue is with how glitchy the game can be. I’ve had it crash multiple times before with no underlying reason, the audio sometimes glitches out if I connect my headset to my phone (with […]
As something very different from most Fire Emblem games, I’ve greatly enjoyed it, in spite of its poor reception from hardcore fans. The game strips away the traditional core elements of the series, , including Turn- based command & movement in favor of a fast paced real time action system. Success favors keen observation and […]
