Nintendo treat

Fire Emblem Heroes may not be the full-feature mobile incarnation that lifelong fans were looking for, but it's what it needs to be. It's simple, and streamlined, and light to a fault, at least according to its critics. A typical match can take only a minute, giving it the lowest possible impact and ease to fit into a player's life. Its simplified systems and omnipresent weapon triangle make a light, inviting play session that is more about tactics than rote memorization or grinding. This isn't a game that needs to be devoured in a matter of days. Nintendo wants you to keep coming back, checking your daily quests, playing a few missions, and then hopping out.
