Mobile Title Fire Emblem Shadows Released

Nintendo, Intelligent Systems, and DeNa have released Fire Emblem Shadows on iOS and Android. The game is a “free-to-start” title that combines real-time tactics and social deduction.

The game sees players choosing to follow the light or shadow paths. After this, three allies engage in battle, though two of them follow the light path while the third follows the shadow. The three fight together during the first battle, during which the light players must try and figure out who the traitor might be. If they guess correctly, then they gain an advantage for the second battle, where the light allies and shadow traitor face off against each other. If they don’t, then the shadow player gains an advantage. Battles are real-time, with players able to drag and drop magic skills that are on a cooldown timer.

Players can advance the light and shadow stories to unlock new playable characters, known as disciples. Each battle grants players rewards, with disciples able to gain levels as well as change their magic and equipment. A Bazaar lets players buy and sell items with other players using in-game Gold.
