Nintendo announced their next foray into smartphone gaming by announcing Fire Emblem Heroes for iOS and Android devices. The game will launch on February 2nd on Google Play and will be coming soon to iOS fore free though there will be in-app purchases available. In Fire Emblem Heroes players will wage strategic battles while leveling up their Heroes that have been taken from all of the Fire Emblem games.
The player is described as a summoner that can summon heroes to build their dream army. Maps will be designed to fit on a smartphone screen where players can drag allies to enemy units or use traditional controls. In combat the iconic weapon triangle system will play a role including terrain types. Characters in Fire Emblem Heroes will be depicted with brand new artwork and newly recorded voices and while the main quest is the biggest draw, there will also be a “Training Tower” to level up heroes to acquire new skills and more.
