## What is Fire Emblem Heroes?

Nintendo's hit strategy-RPG Fire Emblem series, which has been going strong for more than 30 years, continues its journey on smart devices.

Fight battles customized for touch screens and on-the-go play. Summon characters from across the Fire Emblem universe. Develop your Heroes' skills, and take them to new heights. This is your adventure—a Fire Emblem that's like nothing you've seen before!

This application is free to download and offers some optional in-app purchases.

■ An epic quest

The game features an ongoing, original story where new characters and dozens upon dozens of battle-tested Heroes from across the Fire Emblem universe meet.

There are over 2,900 story stages available as of February 2026! (This total includes all difficulty modes.) Clear these story stages and you'll earn Orbs, which are used for summoning Heroes.
New story chapters are added frequently, so don't miss out!

■ Intense battles

Take part in strategic turn-based battles streamlined for on-the-go play with maps that fit in the palm of your hand! You'll need to think hard about the advantages and disadvantages of each Hero's weapon...and even evaluate the map itself as you battle. Lead your army with easy touch-and-drag controls, including the ability to attack by simply swiping an ally over an enemy.

New to strategic turn-based battles? Don't worry! Use the Auto-Battle option to have your characters fight on their own.

■ Strengthen your favorite Heroes

There are many ways to strengthen your allies: leveling, skills, weapons, equipable items, and more. Take your characters to greater and greater heights as you battle for victory.

■ Replayable modes

In addition to the main story, there are many other modes where you can strengthen your allies, compete against other players, and more. 

■ Original characters meet legendary Heroes

The game features numerous Hero characters from the Fire Emblem series and brand-new characters created by artists Yusuke Kozaki, Shigeki Maeshima, and Yoshiku. Some Heroes will fight at your side as allies, while others may stand in your way as fierce enemies to be defeated and added to your army.

### 5/5 — Revised enemies attacks and give us 1m orbs

*2026-08-20, version 10.8.0*

Hi IS and Nintendo pls give us 928 Orbs before i can’t use my debit cards because it’s expired and I can’t afford them and pls disable enemies attacks because your game is too hard for me to beat pls and thanks and I am not spending anymore orbs anymore

### 1/5 — SLOP!!

*2026-08-19, version 10.8.0*

The game is slop. Almost unplayable. Where the F IS MY FIVE STAR ANNA?!

### 1/5 — Horrible spawn rate

*2026-08-18, version 10.8.0*

Idk what updates this game got it used to have better rates back then but I’ve had three banners that I keep spawning till the 40 count AND ONLY GET THE FREE FIVE STAR UNIT AND THATS ALL IVE GOTTEN FROM ALL THREE BANNERS FIX THE GAME

### 5/5 — One of best franchises

*2026-08-17, version 10.8.0*

Have played Fire Emblem games since The Blazing Blade and The Sacred Stones on GBA and has always been one of my favorites and FEH is one of only a very few games I have on my phone and play consistently. Still great game after all these years; however, this iteration is starting to turn into a regular gatcha game with the power creep every year. Never play with characters from the first couple seasons anymore as they are just so underpowered even completely maxed out. Nintendo should do more to fix this as many have played this game since day 1 and have quite a lot of unused characters now. Weapon refinements on old toons just aren’t up to par with new characters.
Now it seems they really don’t care about the player base as recently the game server connection is terrible and now they have had an issue with iOS crashing before the game even loads and they have issued an update already for the game but haven’t fixed this basic, major issue.

### 5/5 — Hot babes

*2026-08-14, version 10.8.0*

Hot babes.

### 1/5 — out of control

*2026-08-13, version 10.8.0*

there is 0 reason for regular story/Tempest Trials content to not be clearable with +10 heroes with premium kits  everything about the direction this game  has gone in is positively terrible dont waste your time on this  garbage it used to be enjoyable but hours of gameplay means nothing now. It was always pay to win as everything with this structure is but it has become pay to play at this point and any hero you spend on will be worthless in two weeks when the next banner drops. Heroes spits on the franchise’s legacy. I’ve played this game since launch and had loved it for a long time but every hero is just damage reduction. Nothing unique nothing fun just who has the most damage reduction.

### 5/5 — Fire emblem heroes

*2026-08-13, version 10.8.0*

I wish this game was out for Nintendo switch 2 they do  have other fire emblem games? I don’t understand why this game is not for the Nintendo switch 2

### 3/5 — app crashes

*2026-08-10, version 10.8.0*

issue if app crashing upon start-up seems to be getting worse with each update. Clearing cache and reinstalling app does not help.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-09, version 10.8.0*

I think this game is excellent.

### 3/5 — game crashing

*2026-08-08, version 10.8.0*

your game is crashing a lot upon startup, fix it. it has been going on for awhile now
