Fire Emblem Heroes is a free-to-play mobile installment in the Fire Emblem series. Originally announced at an investor's meeting in April 2016 and planned for release in the fall season, the game was pushed back to the next year to allow Super Mario Run to launch first.[4] The game was released on both the App Store and Google Play store in February 2017.[2][3]

Original characters meet legendary Heroes
The game features numerous Hero characters from the Fire Emblem series and a few brand-new Heroes created by artist Yusuke Kozaki, known for his work on Fire Emblem Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates. Some Heroes will fight at your side as allies, while others may stand in your way as fierce enemies to be defeated and added to your army.
Many modes let you play again and again
In addition to the main story, there are many other modes where you can strengthen your allies, compete against other players, and more. Also, free and timely updates will continue to add new Hero characters, content, and other surprises to keep you engrossed with hours of additional gameplay.
- Story Maps: The story brings together new Hero characters along with familiar faces from the Fire Emblem series. Lead your army to victory to save the Kingdom of Askr.
- Training Tower: Engage in battle scenarios of varying difficulty that you can play over and over to earn rewards and experience (EXP) for your allies. Each time you take on these maps, the enemies and terrain change to offer a new challenge.

Battle together with your favorite Heroes, watch them grow, and enjoy an all-new adventure that opens up a path to the future.
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 from one of a set of five summoning stones, which can have one of five 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] Each character also has a star ranking, a higher star count denoting higher stats and better abilities.[2] Through battle, players can not only level up their characters but also use SP to earn new skills for that character, and can increase their star rank at 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.[2]
In addition to the story missions, players can also partake in the Training Tower to earn experience, and Arena Duels, in which players partake in a successive series of battles to earn the highest score.[2] From the Special Maps menu, players can also partake in Hero Battles or, occasionally, Grand Hero Battles, timed events in which the player faces a team led by a particular Fire Emblem character, and clearing the mission unlocks that character as a unit for the player to use.[2]
