■ An epic quest

The game features an ongoing, original story where new characters and dozens upon dozens of battle-tested Heroes from across the Fire Emblem universe meet.

There are over 2,400 story stages available as of August 2024! (This total includes all difficulty modes.) Clear these story stages and you'll earn Orbs, which are used for summoning Heroes.
New story chapters are added frequently, so don't miss out!

■ Intense battles

Take part in strategic turn-based battles streamlined for on-the-go play with maps that fit in the palm of your hand! You'll need to think hard about the advantages and disadvantages of each Hero's weapon...and even evaluate the map itself as you battle. Lead your army with easy touch-and-drag controls, including the ability to attack by simply swiping an ally over an enemy.

New to strategic turn-based battles? Don't worry! Use the Auto-Battle option to have your characters fight on their own.

■ Strengthen your favorite Heroes

There are many ways to strengthen your allies: leveling, skills, weapons, equipable items, and more. Take your characters to greater and greater heights as you battle for victory.

■ Replayable modes

In addition to the main story, there are many other modes where you can strengthen your allies, compete against other players, and more.

■ Original characters meet legendary Heroes

The game features numerous Hero characters from the Fire Emblem series and brand-new characters created by artists Yusuke Kozaki, Shigeki Maeshima, and Yoshiku.

Ratings and reviews

I've been a player since around 2017, and while I do have nostalgia for this game it's problems only become worse as it ages. I've been a F2P player since the start but as the game ages it really struggles with powercreep, not to mention the huge issue with staff units being significantly weaker than the other weapon types. The game also lacks a lot of interesting things to do, and it really isn't extremely friendly to F2P players, old and new alike.

Left when power creep was becoming an issue, after about a year I decided to see if anything has changed. Apparently nothing has changed and if anything it has only gotten worse. Even fighting against CPUs is hard but not very hard events is enough if you don't have the right unit. Let's add to the fact that each new special skill is a paragraph in length of explanation. Try beating that CPU when they have a skill that summons a player character from two squares away.

About once a year I'll get really into this game, then it just starts to overwhelm and annoy me, and so I delete it. to some extent that's a flaw in the way the content is delivered, especially this many years in, but I also know I keep coming back because it's addicting to see my favorite FE characters make an appearance, and even without spending money that rush of getting your favorite character is always exciting. Just please don't spend money on this, just go buy an actual FE game.
