Ratings and reviews

As a longtime Fire Emblem, I found the game rather disappointing. Maybe it's still in the experimental stage, but if you play the originals, you might not like this one. Your characters move automatically towards the enemy target rather being able to guide them and plan your movements. No character growth—at least not from what I've played so far—that make the original game great. I don't speak for everyone and people may like it, but I, personally don't think it's a Fire Emblem game.

The game's alright, content's light but it'll get better. There are two big issues with it, though. First and foremost is user-friendliness. The menus get tedious to navigate quickly and aren't as streamlined and clear as they should be. There are also no options to adjust orientation or disable the annoying vibrations. Second is players who abandon or outright attack allies in the second round - there's no simple system to report or block players who have no respect for the game or others.

The battle system and core gameplay feels like a tacked on PvP mode for a mainline SRPG title and feels extremely hollow and automated. The few things you don't understand won't be explained at all. The story is just as basic as the combat. The only good thing I can say is it at least doesn't use a gacha system, but I can't give points for being less predatory when the core gameplay is as weak as it is for this game. I don't see fans of SRPGs having much, if any, fun with this "game".
