- Gaming Bolt6.0Fire Emblem Heroes is lacking in ways that a Fire Emblem game shouldn’t, but it’s still an enjoyable, accessible game that fans of the series and the genre should be able to enjoy.
- Android Rundown8.0Obviously someone is – with reports that the game’s already made over $5 million since launch. Still, that’s a topic for another time. This is a review and I’ve got to say I’m impressed with the game. It’s bitesize fighting with just enough tactical challenge.
- Polygon8.0With a winning combo of exciting, familiar gameplay and diverse content, Fire Emblem Heroes manages to do what none of its predecessors have succeeded at: It gets me invested in mobile gaming, to the point where I'm almost willing to indulge in the platform's most insidious capitalist tricks. Almost.
- GameSpot6.0When the incentive to keep playing is to be able to keep playing, it’s easy to burn out on Fire Emblem Heroes. Aside from obtaining your favorite characters--if you even care about that--Fire Emblem Heroes becomes less and less rewarding as time goes on. Grinding can only be fun for so long before chasing rare allies becomes a chore, and in that sense it caters to two ends of a wide spectrum while offering little incentive for anyone in between.
- 148Apps8.0Despite never having played a Fire Emblem game, I feel confident in saying that Heroes isn't a proper entry in the series. Trying to look at Heroes that way kind of misses the point though. Fire Emblem Heroes is a gacha-style game first and foremost, and a pretty well-made one at that. It also just so happens to be made by Nintendo and features characters and some gameplay elements from the Fire Emblem series, which largely make the game more enjoyable than it might otherwise be.
