Fire Emblem Heroes Review

Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH) – mobile game on iOS and Android – has been around since February 2017. It’s a spin-off game based on the Fire Emblem franchise. It’s a more simplified version of the traditional Fire Emblem games.

FEH is not as popular as Pokemon Go. Only 10 million+ combined downloads/installs on both platforms. It’s rather tiny when compared to more than 750 millions for Pokemon Go (source).

Nintendo announced it’s financial statement results recently and it paints such a different results. Source: Bloomberg
