However, for a F2P game, there’s a lot here that’s just given to the player, including a lengthy campaign. The game is clearly pushing you in the direction of buying them outright so you can keep playing. ![]() If you do a lot of battles in a short period of time, you are unable to play for several hours unless you replenish it with an orb or stamina potion, which again, can be won in battle. The game features a stamina bar that caps at 50 and regenerates a point every few minutes or so. You don’t have to pay to win and you can earn orbs, which are used to purchase upgrades for your castle or new heroes for your army. Like Super Mario Run, you need to either be connected to wi-fi or using data, so don't expect to play Heroes on a plane or in the subway. Matches rarely last more than five minutes since units in each army are limited to four, so you don’t have to worry about battles taking forever when you’re on the go and just want to do a quick match. A number of factors enter into how your units’ battles will go – terrain, unit type, weapons – but everything is streamlined for speed.

The best way to think about Heroes is as a streamlined modern Fire Emblem game missing a couple of features that many fans of the series consider to be its defining qualities. Here’s Kim’s review of Awakening and my reviews of both Birthright and Conquest, if you want to know more about them. The series has a reputation for being among Nintendo’s most hardcore games thanks to its merciless approach to difficulty.Īlso, they tend to be really good. The games rely on fantastical tropes, often having you play as a group of knights and do-gooders trying to retake a kingdom or overthrow corrupt rulers. Is it worth your time if you’re a Fire Emblem fan? What if you're a newcomer to the series?įire Emblem is a long-running strategy RPG series that’s been around since 1990, though the series didn’t make it stateside until 2003.
