About this game

■ A War Between Order and Instinct
Discover the continent of Ardeal, a land of beasts. Here, disciples dedicated to the goddess of light defend order, while those sworn to the goddess of shadows prize instinct. Safety for those caught their struggle is fleeting, and open war is ever on the horizon.

"What is your wish?"

The goddess of shadows can grant any wish, but her price is servitude. To become her disciple is to become a monstrous beast, bound to obey her every command.

■ Light and Shadow
Each character has two forms. Often, they appear as human. But when they submit to the shadow, the power of their bestial self comes forth.

"Which will you choose, the light or the shadow?"

■ Deduction and Intrigue
A traitorous shadow has infiltrated the ranks. Now, no one can be trusted and everyone is a suspect.

Experience two sides to each story: see through the eyes of those serving the light, and venture with those sworn to the shadow. Only together can the full story be told.

■ Rich Support Conversations
Unlock support conversations—personal moments between characters who appear in the story—providing a glimpse into their lives.

■ Intuitive Battle System
During battle, characters move on their own. Simply drag and drop to target and use your many skills.

Wield an arsenal of skills including attacks, recovery spells, buffs, debuffs, and movement abilities. Keep a sharp eye on the battle and cast wisely!

■ Observe and Discover
Each battle has two phases: the Sun Room and the Moon Room.

In the Sun Room, three players work together to drive back the monsters. But beware! One of you is secretly a traitor.

Did an ally act strangely? Whose spells hindered more than helped? Watch closely to spot the traitor.

■ A Climactic Head-to-Head Battle
In the Moon Room, the traitor takes on their beast form for a final head-to-head battle against their former allies.

Identifying the traitor beforehand grants added strength. But the disciple of shadow is very powerful, and if they win, their victory will be final. Successful deduction or deception swings the tide of battle!

■ Test Your Mettle
Take on a unique battle system! Enjoy introductory battles against computer-controlled foes, easing you into the game and its mechanics.

■ Characters from Across Fire Emblem's History
Characters from other Fire Emblem titles, such as the heads of house from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, are added monthly.

As a longtime Fire Emblem, I found the game rather disappointing. Maybe it's still in the experimental stage, but if you play the originals, you might not like this one. Your characters move automatically towards the enemy target rather being able to guide them and plan your movements. No character growth—at least not from what I've played so far—that make the original game great. I don't speak for everyone and people may like it, but I, personally don't think it's a Fire Emblem game.

Really fun. no ads. beautiful art. quick and easy. kina boring. gameplay loop is the same over and over. day after day. no change. gets tiring. kind of predatory too, cant just buy a season pass, have to buy special currency, and no currency pack matches so you have to buy extra and have leftovers. some Xbox live level shady practices. but fun. kina boring.

Really fun strategy game, it's also very addicting. Although is different from normal Fire Emblem games, it's still a very good different approach at the game and can hook you for hours. If you want to play a more Fire Emblem like game, play Feh, if you want to play a different new approach to the series, this game is for. Although many people complain about it, most don't even play for an hour and say it's not Fire Emblem. Give it a chance and you'll find out yourself it's a great game.
