Interesting, but to what End?
Fri Sep 26 2025 BackroundVoiceAt first I thought I would only like this game for its art alone, and while I need to go further to give the story more of a fair shake, I’ve gotten to like the gameplay somehow. It’s for sure a weird way to take Fire Emblem, ”mobile strategy with Among Us gimmicks” but its easy to pick up, and there’s a nice balance to either play for light as an easier way to play, or choose to fight for the shadow and go for a bit more of a challenge. I appreciate that I don’t have to work too hard to get new characters to play with, but I worry the strategy of “target myself to trick the others is a little too easy to pull off. Some get lucky guesses, but there really isn’t any penalty for offing yourself to get the heat off your back. This will be a hard game to balance, and I worry it’s going to disappear before it can reach its full potential. All in all, I like it, will probably play a lot of it over the next few weeks, but I hope they add some changes to make the gameplay more dynamic. And I want to see more of these characters.
Simple BUT Fun
Thu Oct 02 2025 KGPhilemonPretty cute game. I love the new MC (Kurt). Combat isn’t as complex as in a traditional FE game, but it’s still enjoyable, mainly because of the competitive aspect. Climbing up the ranks is always fun, especially if you’re playing as a villain, or in this game’s case, a Shadow.
Gameplay feels like a quick and simple version of Among Us: two friends, one foe. Just like in Among Us, the foe is disguised as a friend, and you have to vote them out. It might sound boring at first, but the more you play, the better it gets.
“An easier Among Us? Which was already an easy game?!” Sure, it might be easier, but that mainly comes from how short the matches are. The anxiety and rush of guessing who the foe is still remain. Unlike in Among Us, if you guess wrong, not all is lost, you still have a chance to fight.
This is where the game differentiates itself and adds depth. If you guess right, you get a buff and some health back. If you guess wrong, there’s a massive decrease in the buff and health you receive, which you’ll most likely need if the foe is genuinely good.
Anyway I’d say give it a try. I originally was with the crowd who thought this game looked lame from the trailer. Don’t judge a book from its cover though. And don’t follow the crowd. Play and form your own opinion. Anyway enough yapping. Let’s get onto why this game is TRULY peak…
- Buff Furry Shadow Dimitri
- Tomboy Shadow Kurt
- Interesting Story/Chars
Not exactly what I expected…
Fri Oct 03 2025 Futaba SakuraNot that it’s a bad thing… Normally. I love Fire Emblem with a passion it’s one of my favorite games. So when a friend of mine told me about this and the chibi art style I was excited. Then I played it… And it’s bad. I don’t understand how the concept of this game works for Fire Emblem at all. I don’t understand how “ find the traitor “ and it being an auto battler that your only control is moving abilities around. I like the turn based old school ones. Where you learned about the characters and developed attachments and there is a goal. I don’t even know what the goal of this game is… I will say the absolute worst game in the series. I even told my friend night one of playing this slop it was awful. I feel the game could have been good with a different style like my original characters and all that and not ripping the name FE. The gameplay also gets old very quickly. As I said it’s an auto battler that you only can move abilities then “ guess “ who the traitor is then it’s another auto boss battle slop and win or lose yay. Maybe two minutes of gameplay at best? It’s just so drab and dull. I wouldn’t recommend it at all if you expect an FE game.
Actually an underrated gem!
Sat Sep 27 2025 Red JubileeSo like…I know a lot of people were skeptical about this game. Myself included. But I decided to play on my own and I ended up really enjoying it. The gameplay isn’t as simplistic as I assumed; there’s deep strategy involved and it strikes a balance between not being too lenient while also not being too harsh. The story itself is quite intriguing, and I even like it more than some of the books from feh. I think it’s a very fun and interesting ride. Also, you aren’t forced to spend money to get what you want. It all comes down to playing! I really recommend this game, and even if it looks strange at first glance, it’s a lot better than you’ll think. While there isn’t too much content yet, the game just started and I’m sure there’ll be a lot more coming in the future, which I look forward to!
Riveting, but needs modern UX
Wed Oct 01 2025 goodchismeAmazing game with an addictive multiplayer real-time strategy loop. There’s an incentive to grind each character out regardless of your favorite to maximize your personal customized load-out. Even the seeming “Pay2Win” aspects are kept under control, with each character having their own competitive rank, and each rank holding a level cap; no getting obliterated as a beginner!
The Bazaar adds another social aspect, acting as a stock market where all items are sold and bought by other users, who put up their own competitive price. It could use a better filter system, and an easier way to mass scrap junk items.
The Season Pass could very much use better rewards: by the time you reach later pages, receiving 15 Tokens feels like chump change. You’re also locked into only receiving points for Daily & Weekly Challenges, which you burn through quickly with little-to-no progress after Page 15. Even if minimally, a good 5 or 10 points per game would add to that incentive to grind!
A Neat Little way to Spend Time, Excited to see What Comes
Fri Sep 26 2025 Pomania_VAAdmittedly, I felt that the gameplay looked a little simplistic when first watching the trailer. However, I found the gameplay to be somewhat addicting and a good way to spend 15 to 20 minutes playing. Gameplay is deeper than what is initially shown. Maneuvering with different skills to try and deceive and also to win is more complex than what is apparent, making it fun to learn as you play.
The character designs are in my opinion very interesting and unique, and I love the callbacks to classic Fire Emblem. The story is more on the basic side, but has me more captivated than Fire Emblem Heroes. I’m curious to see what this game will offer in terms of new character, characters from throughout the Fire Emblem Series and new modes and forms of gameplay that might be added in the future.
It’s fun, quick, and a great time
Fri Sep 26 2025 SirLoinSteaksPeople are bashing on this game because it’s “not fire emblem”. But after going through the tutorial and gaining more characters and thus more deck variety, the game really opens up. I can’t wait for more characters and skills to be added to even further the variety and strategy.
It’s very quick to play a match and very low stakes. I think it’s great to just have a couple of minutes of fun at least and hours at most. Both the light and dark teams are fun to play and have different strategies to them.
Honestly idk how long I’ll be invested in this game, but it’s great for what it is, and there is surprisingly no pay Gacha element. There’s a battle pass and some costumes and that’s it, at least for now. So very free to play.
Mediocre
Thu Sep 25 2025 The Rich AlderAs a long-time Fire Emblem diehard, this game just felt like Heroes but worse. If you like Among Us and/or furries, it’s fine. The art is good at least. But the game graphics in general look cheap and low-effort. The only part of the game that feels high effort is the animated cutscenes, which look extremely good. Why couldn’t the entire game look like that? We’ve had games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail for years; mobile games can have high-quality graphics.
As for the game’s story, it’s barebones. For a game that heavily pushes the “trust nobody” narrative and appeared to emphasize the story aspect, the writing felt very underwhelming. Kurt’s “secret” was obvious from the first 5 seconds of playing. We know nothing about the world aside from Kurt’s country and the villains. The character designs are cool, I’ll give it that. Tl;dr this is a fine game if you just want to turn your brain off for a bit and play something. It just doesn’t feel like Fire Emblem.
A different but amazing fire emblem game!!
Thu Sep 25 2025 SuccumbThere is no gacha. All micro transactions are completely optional and you can genuinely play for the love of the characters and gameplay, which the characters have really good character designs and the game plays really fast and u can always test out different characters for different roles which is really fun. There is no meta , there is no huge text of blocks, the story is fun to follow and interesting and all the characters stand out with classic archetypes with modern twists, Panther/The Green Knight is currently my favorite. I think fire emblem fans and new fans to the series should try this game because I’ve genuinely haven’t had this much fun since I started playing brawl stars 3 years ago
Garbage
Mon Oct 06 2025 Legend DivineHeroThe shadow side is way too overpowered. They start off as part of your group, but they can and they will betray you. So as soon as the game starts you’ll probably get hit by an attack they take out most of your HP if not all of it. Then they kill the other person and let the monsters kill them.
Naga will come in and kill the remaining monsters so you can get to the traitor round. Then you pick the traitor, most of the time the game will not so subtly tell you who the traitor is, which is good. Since when you go into the traitor round, you’ll need the extra life in an attempt to survive longer than one round.
Guessing right means you get two lives, one is immediately used, since the traitor killed you in the first round. So you get to come back to life once in the second round. You start out with your one partner in a room full of monsters. If the room isn’t flooded with monsters, it will be when the traitor summons them and you are over whelmed. You do little to no damage while the traitor and the monsters can one shot you with ease.
Congratulations, you lost, again. . .Isn’t this fun?
I managed to make it to level 5 and I added skill that I thought might help me. Like healing, but I still can’t heal fast enough to keep up with the pounding I’m getting from the traitor and monsters.
