Different… But In a Good Way

Haii everyone!! This is my short but sweet review on Shadows!! As many fans of the Fire Emblem franchise may know this game isn’t your typical turn-based rpg. But as mentioned in the title this game still lives up to the hype. Similar to past Fire Emblem entries this game still requires strategy. One wrong move and you might have cost yourself the match! Why you may say? Well this game heavily relies on time management, positioning, and predictability. If you’re playing on the Light side you’ll have the chance to work with a teammate. You and that teammate MUST bounce off one-another to defeat the Shadow. If you two aren’t timing your attacks in a way that allows you to consecutively deal damage while simultaneously defending yourselves by predicting the Shadows actions then you won’t make it. The Shadow side plays a bit similar but instead of a teammate you have NPCs. Though these npcs may seem weak and a bit stupid they’re what you need to win. Playing the Shadow requires a lot more positioning than the Light due to the lack of teleportation and a live teammate. To make full use of your npcs you must use them to trap, overwhelm, and trick your opponents into your attacks. Both sides can be incredibly fun but I personally prefer the Shadow side. Seeing my character reveal themselves to be the enemy is always a hype experience. Whoever’s reading this I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too! Along with the fun strategic combat the game has a unique story, cute characters, and your typical Fire Emblem level system. Additionally there’s a shop where you can BUY and SELL items to other players. It brings the community together imo. Giving your friend a busted sword for cheap is always nice… As long no one buys the sword before your friend does lol. You’ll see what I mean when you play. I hope you enjoyed my review! One last thing! Two things actually… First. Kurt is my fav character. I love him so much. He’s so cute. I’m sure you’ll agree once you meet him! Two. I’d love to see more Shadows content! I can’t wait for their addition to FE Heroes. And I hope one day we receive a traditional FE game with some of the Shadow characters!

It’s ok but…

So I got this game because I started liking fire emblem after playing one of the demos on my switch
And it’s a decent game but why are most of the characters locked behind paywalls
And my Nintendo account wouldn’t link despite redownloading the game data and powering off my phone for like 6 or 7 hours it still wouldn’t link

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

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.

(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.

WORTH A SHOT!!

If you’re a Fire Emblem fan or just generally trying something new, I highly recommend this lite strategy game!! It’s very cute being able to organise units, collect favourite characters just by playing, and sorting out your arsenal! Music and art alone are worth the experience, along with the great story as well. The support conversations are a nice touch and it’s very sparing of your time, so only 5 minutes a day to get basically everything needed.

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.

Larping

Wtf is fire emblem a furry simulator now?

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.

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

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…

Wtf is this

Seriously

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

Nothing like FEH

If you're expecting a successor to Fire Emblem Heroes this isn't it. Nothing like it. And not my thing.

Fire emblem?

This is not fire emblem. It doesn’t play like it at all. I am not sure how to explain this game. It’s an auto battle type game where you can use skills that go on cooldown. And it also has a imposter mechanic (like among us), but the problem with that its 3 players on a map and it’s normally pretty easy to tell who the imposter is. I also feel like this game is incredibly unbalanced to the point of being unfair. Sometimes you’ll be knocked out in one hit or sometimes you might find it easy. The shop as well is incredibly expensive for what you get, which comes off as very greedy.

Great game

It wasn’t something for meat first but after some more gameplay it kinda reminds me of xenoblade and I love that

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

L

Game so boringgggg

Super grindy

I wanted corrin but I have to unlock 50+ characters before I can even start earning shards for the character I want
