The Fire Emblem of Heroes is a mobile, free-to-play, tactical role-playing game where you can summon warriors from other worlds, but that is not all there is about this game. It was developed by Intelligent Systems and released on February 2, 2017. Nintendo published it for android phones and iOS. 

The game follows the storyline of Fire Emblem: Awakening from 2012 but uses its characters in place of the game characters from Awakening.

A Sequel With a New Angle

Yes, the game is a spin-off of The Fire Emblem series and has its characters, but this game features new, interesting, and flashy characters. The Fire Emblem of Heroes has a very simple form and is relatively easy to start. It has interesting, fun, and catchy gameplay, which we will look into shortly, and I must mention the simple yet amazing graphics of the game. The Fire Emblem of Heroes is unique, magical, and filled with thrilling yet straightforward adventures.

What’s the story behind the fire emblem of heroes?

The storyline – why are we summoning heroes?

The first thing you should know is that the plot of this fiery hero game has more than five books, each filled with something new and unique, but the main gist and the center of the conflict is a war between the nations of Askr and Embla. The protagonist of this story is the Summoner. By his name, you know that he is the one who summons the heroes.

It is not just the Summoner that gets to summon heroes from other worlds. The enemies, too, can. The player gets to choose the name of the Summoner. Princess Veronica and Prince Bruno lead Embla. In contrast, the Summoner leads the nation of Askr and its Orders of Heroes, which includes Prince Alfonse, Commander Anna, and Princess Sharena.

Two New Nations Were Introduced to the Game 

The newest nations in the Fire Emblem franchise are the kingdoms of Nifl and Muspell. The kingdom of Nifl and its princess Fjorm, form allies with Askr, and the kingdom of Muspell, with its princess Laevatein and strategies Loki, form an ally with Embla. Askr and Embla face a common threat as they come under invasion from the forces of Hel.

Later on, Askr can gain an ally in Eir. Then in book IV, Askr faces force in a realm occupied by fair-like creatures of nightmares, and the conflict between Askr and Embla continues in books V and VI.

Organizing Heroes for a Battle 

In the game, the player controls and leads a team of up to four characters, who are “Heroes, against enemy teams. These teams have different sizes. The characters are different not just in their names but also in their movement and restrictions. The game’s characters include armored, cavalry, and flying units. The armored units have a shorter range in comparison with the cavalry units.

However, the cavalry units cannot enter forest tiles. On the other hand, the flying units can enter most tiles, even tiles where other units cannot enter, for instance, the water or mountains. You can also increase the strength of your characters by participating in the training tower, this, however, is a frustrating way to increase your character’s strength, and if you are already sold to the game, you will find yourself spending some of your cash in no time to gain some features and advantages.

The Game is Full of Sizzling Action 

The gameplay revolves around exploiting enemy weaknesses through team building and using characters’ unique abilities to overcome different types of enemies. Each character can be leveled up by battling with them repeatedly until they reach their highest possible level. Although the fights are not designed to last too long, they are pretty exciting and engaging to have you yearning for more battles. The fight is between the player and the enemy, and the player can attack enemy players when in range. Heroes in the fire emblem of heroes can inflict physical and magical damage on their enemies.

The Fire Emblem of Heroes has a set of story missions, these story missions are divided into chapters, and the player is expected to complete them. These story missions serve as a guide as they lead you through the game’s plot, but I feel that they can do a little bit more with the plot and make it more captivating. The game currency is called “Orbs” I hear Orbs, and I think of magic; the currency’s name gets me into the magic and adventure of the game. The orbs are used to summon heroes from the other world and purchase stamina for missions and other quality-of-life items. You can earn orbs by completing in-game activities or with in-app purchases.

Conclusions

Playing the fire emblem of heroes was quite enjoyable for me. My best part of the game is the ability to summon heroes from other worlds and how random the whole process is. It gives me the excitement and suspense I need, just the right amount of it. Overall, Fire Emblem Heroes is awesome. The game design is simple but exciting, its challenges are on point, it is fun, and it has the right amount of adventure. I recommend this game to anyone looking for some action and adventure.
