Thoughts on Fire Emblem Heroes?

Hi,

I was excited about this being on Andriod when I found out yesterday. Installed the game and played for a minute, it's stuck at downloading. Not sure if I liked the drag to attack thing, or the weird English voice over. What is your experience? Anyone here actually played it?

  • Not sure if I liked the drag to attack thing,

    You can change this in the settings.

      Thanks, found it :)

    Played for almost a year without spending any money and am able to compete in the higher tiers of the competitive modes. The gameplay is very simplified compared to actual Fire Emblem games but I'm a fan of the franchise so I still find it enjoyable despite the nature of gacha games which can sometimes be infuriating.

    • I didn't even realise it's f2p. Got it off… somewhere. I guess the old flying vs mounted vs unmounted still holds? The last time I played seriously was on GBA, long time ago.

  • It's fun but the late-game content didn't interest me much so I barely touch it now. It's definitely very f2p because they're generous with the gacha. I felt like it wasn't as good as it could have been, especially since Langrisser is out now and that's just much better in terms of being a proper TRPG on mobile.

    Fans of Fire Emblem should definitely try out Heroes because it's still great fun.

    • I'm very confused by all the deals and stuff pushed to my face. Just getting into it. Would be nicer if it's… less glittering?

      I saw Langrisser but thought it might be a fake for some reason, didn't bother getting it. I had encountered fake before lol Gotta test it out, thanks :)

  • Love it, played since Day 1.

    It's starting to become more pay to win though. The Feh Pass, power creep and the ability to buy select units in monthly packs.

      Feh pass wouldn't be as bad if it didn't cost as much and at least had a free trial like Pocket Camp/MKT. Also constantly showing you have mission rewards completed that you can't collect.

    • Serious question.

      I've dabbled in a couple of mobages (with one I've played a lot), but the big thing that stops me from playing any others is the time sink.

      I keep thinking about how behind I am in a backlog of games that have great ratings or I'm sure I'll enjoy.

      So I feel that its not worth spending 10+ hours on each event + 30~ minutes on daily content that could get me a sizable way into another full game I've paid money for.

      Do you feel at all similar to this?

      • Isn't that the point of those games? Dailies and stuff? To keep you log back in the game.

        After a while they start to feel very similar, like I'm at work on a different project, slightly different stack, stories, controls… and I lose interest. Netflix looks good some days xD Also trolling on random forums.

        • I find that it's exactly the point of them.

          With the one I've kept at for 3-4 years I've been wondering lately if there's actually any reason why I play aside from the serotonin hit of collecting the shiny daily rewards and things.

          I guess I also lose interest, but instead for me I drop to the bare minimum participation to get event limited rewards.

          But I always seem to come back eventually.

          • @HolyFosh: The only game that had kept me on is Hearthstone, because it releases new contents quite frequently, and the arena is just awesome. I used to play it with a very good friend, then we couldn't do it anymore. I really miss that. So I guess for me, people is a bigger reward than the dailies.
