Coming from Image & Form’s Julius Guldbog
“I’ve been playing the game on my daily commute for a total of three hours, I believe. And it’s great fun! Feels like a solid, old-school Fire Emblem adventure. On my way home from the gym yesterday I carried my bag in one hand and played the game with the other. Haha. I’m hooked!”
Coming from 13AM Games' Alex Rushdy
“I did download Fire Emblem Heroes. I started playing it this past weekend. I’m actually quite impressed with the game so far, it really encapsulates what is fun about Fire Emblem into a bite-size experience. I don’t usually play mobile games for very long, though, so I’m keen to see if this one can hold my interest in the long-term.
What I find most interesting about this game is that it appears to more clearly demonstrate Nintendo’s strategy of using mobile games to draw people towards their hardware and software. This feels like a way to get people hooked on the Fire Emblem IP, and consequently searching out richer experiences with the same characters on Switch and 3DS. Nintendo is clearly banking on this, announcing a deluge of Fire Emblem games to come out in the following months. I think Heroes showcases this intention much stronger than Pokémon Go or Mario Run. I wonder if it will pay off!”
