Story
Fire Emblem Heroes tells the story of two warring kingdoms in the World of Zenith: The Emblian Empire, who seek to conquer every world, and the Kingdom of Askr who oppose them. The player assumes the role of a summoner who is brought to Askr, assisting the small group who combats the Emblians, the Order of Heroes, with the ability to summon Heroes from across each world. The Emblians, however, have their own summoner: Princess Veronica, who wishes to use the Heroes she summons to destroy Askr.
The main story chapters of Fire Emblem Heroes revolve around journeying to the various worlds of the Fire Emblem series and freeing it and its Heroes from the Emblian Empire. Side chapters are also periodically made available, which revolve around other Heroes and worlds.
Gameplay
Fire Emblem Heroes is a tactical-strategy game that allows players to recruit characters from across the Fire Emblem series.[2] Players can obtain new units by using Orbs, which can be obtained in battle or as in-app purchases.[2] When summoning, the player can choose one from a set of five summoning stones, which can have one of four different colors that indicates particular attributes and helps to determine which character the player receives.[2] After obtaining a character, the number of orbs required to summon another character is decreased if the player chooses to summon using another stone out of the same set.[2] Characters are also given a star rating based on rarity (one through five, five being rarest), a higher rarity denoting higher stats and access to better skills. Through battle, players can not only level up their characters but also use the SP they earn to unlock new skills for that character, and can increase their star rank after they reach a certain level by using special materials.[2]
Battles are set on 8x6 grids, designed to fit the screen size of a smartphone.[2] Players direct their units by tapping them and either dragging them to the desired location or tapping the location on the grid, and engage enemies by tapping them or overlapping with their position.[2] The weapon triangle of past Fire Emblem titles is retained in this game, using a similar color-coded system as in Fire Emblem Fates, though in this game healing units as well as shuriken, dagger, and bow users are once again outside the standard triangle as part of the "colorless" category.
In addition to the story missions, players can also partake in the Training Tower to earn experience, and the Arena, in which players partake in a successive series of battles to earn the highest score.[2] From the Special Maps menu, players can battle on limited-time stages that yield rewards such as Orbs or, in the case of events such as Grand Hero Battles, exclusive units. Finally, also available are Tempest Trials, limited time events in which players must clear a gauntlet of maps with up to four teams, and Voting Gauntlets, in which players chose to support one of eight competing characters by battling.
Development
Fire Emblem Heroes began development before Super Mario Run.[4] A mobile installment in the Fire Emblem series was originally announced during an investor's meeting in April 2016, with a planned release during the fall.[5] However, it was later announced that the game was pushed back to the next year to allow Super Mario Run to launch first.[6] Fire Emblem Heroes was finally revealed during a Fire Emblem Direct in January 2017.[2]
