It’s a New Fire Emblem
Gameplay- 100% f2p. It is a social deduction multiplayer game with two rounds. The first round three players play as disciples of light fighting monsters, but one player is a traitor. After that round there is a vote. If those on the light vote right, they get a second bonus life for the next round where the traitor’s character takes a monstrous (yet cute) form and acts as a boss in a 2v1 PvP battle (the traitor does get 1 or more monsters as well). The game does keep the traditional weapon advantage. Red does bonus damage to green, green to blue, and blue to red. Character- Each character has its own unique ability and three spells that come with it. It takes 12 soul fragments to unlock a character. Medals with green jewels are used to level them up. The three spells that came with that character (as well as their personal skill) level up with them, but the three spells can be used on any character. Levels also are important as they will allow for better weapons to be equipped as their ranks go up. There are multiple original characters as well as legacy characters (as of this review Dimitri, Lyn, Corrin (female version), Veronica, Ike, Edelgard, Ephraim, and Yunaka). Also the art is really good. Rating system- Every character starts at a light rating and shadow rating of 1. During one every other ‘player’ is a bot, but 2-40 are real players. Even if one loses, their rating will continue to go up until rating 19. After that the rating will go down after a defeat (to the current ratings beginning. The rating can’t demote you beyond your current rating though). F2P- This game is actually 100% F2P. The only things money can be used for are battle passes (only legacy characters excluding Dimitri who is able to be unlocked in the game through story progression), outfits, and for those who for whatever reason want to, buying levels. The game instead has chests that give random rewards. Depending on how one does in the match they can get up to three gold chests. These chests will mostly give low level weapons and perks but can give Lv. 7-8 character weapons, character souls fragments, and medals. The legacy characters outside special events have an extremely low chance, but can be obtained after their battle passes ends and their fragments are added to the reward pool. Login rewards- every day there is free medals and gold. Also four daily challenges. One challenge for medals, the other three give points towards battle passes progression. Bazaar- a live player based market where gold is used. Players can sell weapons, perks, and excess soul fragments. Unfortunately it does mean some things are extremely expensive. Also that prices adjust often. Also unfortunately some prices (especially soul fragments) are high because people horde them. Story- the story is in two halves. Light and shadow. They progress through playing as that respective side. There are rewards as well such as soul fragments (most unlocked through this), green jewels, and medals. Some soul fragments are only a portion though and the rest must be unlocked through chest or purchasing from other players in the bazaar. The story is decently good so far. My only complaints are the whole shadow and light path and not being able to revisit the tutorial part of the story from book one. For the first complaint, it’s confusing to tell the one between the two sometimes. The second part is it almost sounded like the stories would be separate with a light and shadow path, not just parts of the whole story. Only the rapports actually do the both sides. As for the second complaint, the tutorial has a decent amount of book 1’s story so if one wants to go back and enjoy the story, they can’t because it’s incomplete. Friends- there are friend lobbies. It is based by making up a code and sharing it. Overall review, it is an amazing game with quick short matches. It definitely isn’t for everyone, but it is worth a try and is a real Fire Emblem whether the complainers like it or not. Hopefully this review was helpful and apologies that it is so long.
Could have been better
Love the original stuff, this was different, played it for a day and didn’t like how it was and I’m a fan of FE games. Kinda of a let down
シナリオはいい感じなので…
一回の更新での文章量をもっと増やしてほしい。質は十分。けど量が物足りない。
(Kind of) mid game
Honestly it’s worse than fire emblem heroes (in my opinion). The stages are always the same, and there’s no special rounds. Also, why are the characters keminomimis for some reason? I get it that the game isnt a full year out of release yet. The story is kind of boring too…just a few dialogue and Thats it. How did this game get three books in less than a year, yet is takes a year for one book to fully happen in fe heroes? The only fun part is getting disciples (and no gacha). However, I will still play this game in case of better updates.
This ain’t fire emblem
Yeah, I tried it, not really a fire emblem game at all, and characters seem pretty weird. I’d even prefer to play Sword of Convallaria or FE Heroes, for the fire emblem type gameplay. But, if you like this genre, go nuts, it’s probably a great game on that viewpoint. Personally, 3 stars.
Wow
The story is good the art is beautiful I love fire emblem games!
Larping
Wtf is fire emblem a furry simulator now?
Better than most mobile games
It’s not as good as a normal FE game and u can’t really control ur character but the story seems good and it hasn’t gaslit me into buying anything yet so 4 stars
Easy, poor matchmaking
Light or shadows, it’s too easy. Out of the 25 games I played before giving up, I won every single one. I usually played shadows. Too easy to deceive people, just target one, then yourself, then the last enemy. But only if they take the game seriously. Most people just play roulette and keep changing their guess until the timer runs out, or sometimes they run VC and circumvent the spirit of the game. Doesn’t matter, the matchmaking is terrible enough that you can wipe both their health bars even if they do guess correctly. My main has a move that is an instant KO over a 2 by 2 area. Light is even easier to win.
Hard for free to play
I am not a adult who is gonna pay every season pass just to get one extra hero make a alternative please
Catboy dimitri

Game so boringgggg
…
Why does this remind me of Among Us?
This Ain’t It
It’s an auto-battler with very little player input. That wouldn’t be so bad if they advertised that upfront. Also, the game jumps right into the tutorial and basically locks you into watching the game play itself for 10 minutes with no title or option screen to turn volume down or change any settings. I find that kinda thing predatory. If you were looking for FE (or any TRPG experience) on mobile, this ain’t it.
何か不具合ありました？
昨日までは特に問題なく動作していましたが、今日になって開幕のロゴが表示された後に真っ暗な画面から動かなくなりました 何か発生したのですかね？
Fire Emblem meets among us?
Honestly, I thought it was gonna be a cash grab for nintendo, but genuinely it caught me by surprise! Good game tbh.
It’s okay
Game was okay when I played when it first came out. I deleted because it was a little boring and repetitive. I wanted to redownload and see if they’ve added more or changed things, but it makes me replay the tutorial? Doesn’t give me an option to sign back in. I’m not willing to do the tutorial again because why would I need to? I don’t understand why I can’t login and just resume where I left off? It’s 2026 that should be the mandatory with any game at this point. I’m just going to delete. Okay game with repetitive game play. Unique? Absolutely.
マッチング以外は良ゲー
裏切り者やってて同じ人と連続してマッチングする場合があるのが残念。 完全にバレてるから凄く不利になる。 そこだけ改善してくれれば良い感じ
Quite a impressive idea
Sad 2 on 1 and the fact counters still apply for the gameplay idea makes it very one sided match then there the cooldown skills self heals have to much power you got abuse the turn cycle 2 second mark to make feel logical at all and finally the characters went screw gacha let make them farm it with a lowest drop rate possible bazaar market way to dame expensive considering how much gold you make making them for use to buy battle pass with that wave to your face 2000 gold overall enjoy the game idea don’t think fits well with fire emblem design lol…
マッチングに難あり
ゲーム自体はよくできています。 上級層になると課金してる人には全く敵いませんが、今のところは上さえ目指さないエンジョイ目的であれば課金者層を避けて遊ぶことができる仕組みになっています。 ただしマッチング自体には問題があります。 ①同じ人と何連続もマッチする為、自分が闇陣営の時に使うスキルを覚えられてしまう ②「陣営おまかせ」なのに闇陣営になる偏りがすごい。ここ最近は10連続闇になることは珍しくなく、最大で25連続闇になった日は軽く鬱になった。お任せにせず光固定にする手もあるが、全体的なゲーム環境が悪くなる（実際そうなってるのではないかと推測） ③②の影響で、我慢して闇陣営でも戦い続けた結果ランクが異常にあがったお気に入りキャラが、課金勢の光コンビにボコボコにされてフラストレーションがたまる 特に②と③のコンボが最近ずっと続いてて致命的に萎えます 改善求む
Great game, bad tutorial
Game is very very simple and easy to understand, the game is a 2v1 fighter that takes place in turns, each side has a designated attacking phase and has the ability to use spells every 5 seconds (depending on the spells you use sometimes less), games go by very fast with the main goal of kill everyone or find out who tried to kill you in the first phase without dying on the 2nd phase. Id compare it to dead by daylight but you actually get to fight back, also the tutorial sucks and does not adequately teach you how to play the game and drags on for too long, the battlepass is essentially just more stuff to do daily, and if you miss the character in one you can always get them at a later date for free (their drops are insanely rare so you will have to buy them off the market) also the game has a player run economy that is active enough that you should be able to afford most of the non new bp characters, they also from time to time give out free characters in the story. Overall as a long time fire emblem fan I love it, I wish there was more to do and thats really my only complaint
Freezing when I click battle
Can’t play
面白いけど
勝てないとか言ってる人は上手い人のプレイスキル真似すればいいと思う。ただキャラ専用スキルが広範囲攻撃スキル持ちの場合人権がなさすぎる。外せたらいいけど外せないし、外せるならそもそもそのキャラ使わなくていいじゃんってなってくるのでジレンマ… 追記:資源回収まとめて出来るようになったのはありがたいけど、、高レートになるとレベル差が酷すぎて最早ゲームとして成り立ってないのでレベル差はせめて±2でマッチングするようにしてほしい。
Nothing like FEH
If you're expecting a successor to Fire Emblem Heroes this isn't it. Nothing like it. And not my thing.
Super grindy
I wanted corrin but I have to unlock 50+ characters before I can even start earning shards for the character I want
Innovative Gameplay
I can't stop playing
This company should be forced to sell the IP
Seriously, idk how tf someone can mismanage an IP so badly you end up making it into an Amongus knock off 5 years past the fad. Genuinely stupid people at this company.
Great game, needs some tweaks for more depth.
Having a blast with the game but it can use some changes. One thing id change is during the voting phase, everyone has a vote already placed by default. This makes people think they are getting voted by someone without them actually voting for the person and influences peoples decisions. Hide peoples votes until they actually choose someone.
fire emblem only in name
farming downloads using the name but the game is just pretty trash 2* because voice acting is serviceable but the gameplay isnt
微妙
利敵行為をしてくる人が割といます あと原作キャラを手に入れるのが課金しないとかなり時間がかかります
Shortform fun!
I'm a longtime fan of FE, and I was pleasantly surprised by this game's sudden debut! I am not usually a fan of PvP games, but it was easy for me to pick up. I love being able to squeeze in a match between breaks at work. 🥰
It puts me to sleep
Such a boring game
Love it! My wallet doesn’t…
After playing this game for like 4 hours hours straight, I can deduce that I like it. I think the story is interesting, I like the characters, and a lot of people were saying how they don’t like the combat. I actually enjoyed. However, I did not enjoy how expensive those orb things are. If you want to buy 1 outfit for a character, it’s 150 orbs. And the 200 orbs option is 7.99! Correct me if I’m wrong but, THATS LIKE 8 DOLLARS FOR ONE OUTFIT! The outfits are really cute, but not cute enough to warrant spending that much on an iPhone game. Even if the game is fun. I would still recommend you play it if you’re interested. But not if you want to dress up your characters. (Also, you can get Dimitri as a playable character, and that’s why I gave this game 4 stars)
Deceptively Interesting
So, don’t get me wrong, I love this game and think its super fun. I think that there’s so many neat things about this being quick, bite sized content that’s easy to consume. The mechanics of voting out the Shadow player seems to be beyond me, however. I haven’t been wrong on a vote, because usually the shadow players never change their votes at all when the phase comes up. That’s not even the main thing that boggles me. There’s been countless times where I’ve played both Light and Shadow and I don’t play to kill, just to blend in and be fine, but I somehow end up with both teammates voting me out instantly. Perhaps this has something to do with playing with friends? Even then, there’s been so many times where that type of situation happens, then the Moon Room feels unbeatable because people just don’t play or they give up and don’t make smart decisions to beat the Shadow player. I feel like this game has a lot that it can offer to players in terms gameplay and what it has to offer, but it also feels like its limiting itself in the same, oddly uncomfortable ways.
It’s a miss
As a fire emblem fan, this has missed the mark. I appreciate the story and attempt to make it a more RTS game, but it feels sloppy. Culprit is an afterthought almost. The game tries to auto play in combat and it causes tactical issues. The story feels like an angst filled teen drama with more edge than substance. There are better fire emblem games.
Fun!
I LOVE TRICKING PEOPLE!!!! I LOVE MAKING PEOPLE THINK IM THEIR FRIEND AND THEN STABBING THEM IN THE BACK! JUST IMAGINING THE LOOKS ON THE TWO LIGHT PLAYERS FACES WHEN THEY REALIZE I MADE THEM VOTE AGAINST EACH OTHER MAKES ME SCREAM WITH JOY!!!!
Not fire emblem
The gameplay gets stale within 15 minutes. FE is known for its deep strategy. You can't even move yourself here. This is clearly a cash grab, IS was so embarrassed by DeNA's slop that they didn't even advertise it pre-launch. And $8 just to get Lyn? It doesn't look like F2P players will get her within a year, if ever. That money is better spent on FEH, which is a rich game with multiple modes.
Game has its hooks in me
This game is a fantastic way to kill some time. Each battle is bite-sized and lasts about 3-5 minutes. The social deduction element suffers from the same problems all similar games suffer from — to have fun with it you need to play with people who are capable of paying even the most minute amount of attention, which sadly means 99% of people don’t qualify. However, the games are so fast and generally consequence free (you still gain in ranking when you lose, at least for a while) that it doesn’t bother me too much. You gain in power by leveling up all your characters, each of whom has four spells that level with them, three of which can be used by every other character as well. Super neat, though a bit confusing at first. If I have one complaint it’s that you’re gonna get one-shot a lot early on. Even later on progression, if you’re light and the enemy is dark and has a decently leveled spell that exploits your element you might end up one-shot. But it’s fun and worth your time.
Seems cool but I keep going back to the level
I have to keep life identifying a traitor then see Luca getting killed before I have to choose a different traitor. Please fix the pacing issues and let us actually advance to the next level because no matter which character I think is a traitor it sucks
Fun, but underwhelming
First of all, have to mention it, to call it a Fire Emblem game is quite the stretch. On its own however, I think it has potential— it does bring a fresh idea to the franchise; a traitor system. However, a shame it falls in what feels like such an incomplete game. Even down to some UI elements in the layout, some details are unpolished. Even the story feels… shallow and far-fetched. I feel bad saying it also shows in the gameplay and lack of content too, the auto battle is souless and feels off to the user. One of the selling points of Fire Emblem is the strategy aspect, so just having to wing around skills/effects is pretty boring. I did enjoy myself a bit, and some character’s designs are nice (with good references such as Alberta and the panther/green knight archetype we see in the series), but… yeah. It is disappointing from the view of a Fire Emblem lover.
Really fun game
I hope this game is here to stay. A lot of original characters, I really like Kurt. Fun game to just open up and play, and content will come so long as Nintendo feels the need to keep the game up and running.
Fire Emblem Heroes and Fortunes weave instead
I like Fire Emblem Heroes and Fire Emblem Fortunes Weaves are better.
Promising; but needs work
I feel like this game could thrive if it was better balanced and updated. Currently; games are extremely short and the gameplay is rather shallow as a whole. I find it incredibly easy to identify the traitor. You should rework the game to have 5 players instead of just three. And there needs to be more anonymous ways to betray- a lot of the time you can be caught immediately.
Decent game muddied by West Coast US culture
The gameplay is alright. Not catching my attention but I am playing since they just released Mecha Corrin (wallet forgive me for I have sinned…). Also nice that it has dual audio. Also very nice that they forgoed the gacha monetization model However I have to play battles to accumulate currency to read through the story. But the story starts off nonsensically with the heroine masquerading as a male (alright) but also a royal family member and the king’s sole surviving heiress. Cool. But the she has a fiancée who is also royalty and is aware of her masquerading as a boy. Okay no, do these writers know anything about legacy? Familial responsibilities? When you are born in such positions where other people, an ENTIRE POPULATION rely on you, you make choices at the sacrifice of your own personal needs and desires. Maybe this relationship will be explored that gives me confidence and excitement but it is not giving me the motivation to want to play more. But cute waifus and a prospective son of Ashnard getting a beast form that would make his pops proud just might keep me around. We will see.
Good, can be better.
All in all the game is solid. Good game play and feels like a strategy game despite the auto fight. Tho the game play is repetative and a bit boring. I hope they had a sorta “co-op” dungeon mode. For friends to play 3 players, vs 5 hard levels. And at the end a random npc to fight as a boss. Other then that im only giving 3 stars because being the shadow is eather to easy, or imposible. The triangle damage system kinda gives tomuch power. If i play ref shadow and BOTH of the light are using blue damage spells? Im just kinda dead. Even with using green and blue soilder summons to help. It just feels like an imposible game to balance once more heros get added, lyn already being to strong to deal with if the one using it is smart.
Really fun chill game
The game has some rpg elements and is pretty easy to get into, while being pretty engaging as you got to find out who’s the imposter.
Why?
Terrible gameplay and a bad plot, with no redeeming qualities. How much farther can Fire Emblem fall?
Decent start, much potential to be had!
Gameplay’s pretty simple so far, but I think there’s actually potential with this. If the battles were longer with more players (maybe 6-10), then I think it would be a lot more fun. I do wish there were more solo battles in story similar to FEH, it does feel a bit barebones there. Perhaps maybe other types of battles as well with the whole social deduction?
Fun but deeply flawed
Fire Emblem Shadows is a 2v1 auto-battler using a rock-paper-scissors damage system. The story and content are currently quite sparse and can be finished within 3 weeks of playing just the 4 matches a day asked by the battle pass. The monetization isn’t overbearing, consisting of a battle pass that lets you unlock an extra character, palette swap skins, and the ability to skip levels on your characters. However, the balance of abilities is very bad. There is a small pool of abilities that are necessary to be viable and no space to experiment with others once you have those. The shadow team players can also use equipment to be able to one-shot light team players built to maximize their health when the shadow player is only one level higher.
