Play Fire Emblem Heroes on PC & Mac FREE now | Update your FEH Calendar Today!
On April 20, 1990, Japanese video game developer Intelligent Systems and Nintendo unveiled a fantasy tactical role-playing game. The game is called Fire Emblem: “Ankoku Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi”. It is better known as Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light for the Famicom. 30 years since the franchise’s inception, 15 more Fire Emblem titles will follow. This is the path laid out by the first title made up of 12 original titles and 3 remakes. All of which are exclusive to Nintendo consoles, except for FEH Heroes.
The Fire Emblem franchise is a unique game that employs the use of Permadeath or Permanent Death. This means that the death of a character in battle is permanent. As interesting as this feature may be, it is not for everyone. Which is why it has long become an optional feature in all the original installments. Additionally, Fire Emblem also features a grid-based battlefield. This is governed by a turn-based gameplay structure. On top of that are the various classes and skills unique to each character.
With that said, Fire Emblem Heroes in addition to its free-to-play structure does not come with the Permadeath feature. Instead, each character’s death equals the removal of EXP or experience points earned within the map. Other than that, Fire Emblem: Heroes is an excellent spin-off game. This is for those who are not yet ready to tackle the Permadeath feature in the original games.
