Fire Emblem Heroes Has Passed Five Million Installs on Android

Good on them. Game didn't hold my interest long though, that and then hating rooted phones.

Too bad they became bullish on mobile and didn't give any game a worldwide release barring Mario Run... Pathetic Nintendo at their finest. Wait till the fanboys chime in with the pointless apk option...

How many of those 5 million still have it on their phone and still play it? I know I deleted it a month ago after it sitting there idle for half a year or more. I didn't spend any money on it. It's a decent game but I lost interest in it quickly.

Edit: Also, as far as app sizes go Fire Emblem Heroes is an absolute hog, it's nearly 1GB.

I played maybe 20 minutes then never touched it again. Only enjoyed Super Mario Run out of all Nintys mobile offerings and was done with that ages ago.

Roll on Fire Emblem Switch.. whenever it comes out this year.

I'm one of the weirdos who thinks Super Mario Run is the better game. Barely touched Fire Emblem Heroes, not because it's bad, but because I like Mario Run more.

Pretty good, but i did download it, and gave it a go, then realised, don't really like Fire Emblem so deleted it.
Loved Mario Run and paid for the full game, but after finishing the levels haven't been back to it to collect the purple and black coins as it got too frustrating.
Not really interested in Mariokart Tour, as i think it will detract from them creating a new game for the Switch

Whatever side of the bed you're getting out of in the mornings; you need to get out the other side.

@Fandabidozi Lol guess I sounded really pissed XD

Personally I love this game, its extremely generous for a free to play. I put money into it recently because I felt guilty for playing it so much without playing!

Started from day 1 and still going strong and I’m not a huge FE fan. There is a strong community for this game as well.

Call me a disgrace to fans everywhere if you will, but this was the first Fire Emblem I picked up, and finally helped me to understand its gameplay and (almost) appreciate its characters. I'm sure there are a lot of less vocal people with similar experiences to me, so I'm thankful for it for that. And it's still lots of fun, I check in every day!

I think it's a fun enough time waster, the game coincidentally launched the day I got my smart phone and it has still been going strong, I do play it a good 15 minutes mostly everyday. Of course it helps that I'm a huge fan of the fire emblem series in general.

I was a bit confused when you said a quarter of a billion dollars in revenue because I misread it as a quarter of a million, and that seemed underwhelming.

But a quarter of a billion is head and shoulders above what Miitomo was earning for Nintendo. I don't think Fire Emblem Heroes is going to be shut down any time soon.

I stopped playing for a while and then got back in once they added the Brave units. Since then I've spent £25, not likely to spend more unless more characters from Radiant Dawn or Echoes show up

This is about the only mobile game I still play and enjoy. As far as gacha games go they're pretty generous with everything.

@Thegreatcraig Same! I was reluctant trying out Fire Emblem before Heroes. But now that I've gotten a taste of it, I want to play other FE titles.

My personal favorite mobile game ever, probably thanks to my utter obsession with Fire Emblem. Even Nintendo's other mobile games, while entertaining in small bursts, don't compare to the amount of fun I've had with FE Heroes. The new banners focusing on previous entries is certainly enticing, especially since we're starting off strong with an Elibe focused banner!

I'm glad to see it doing well. I play this game almost daily and keep up to date with updates. Looking forward to seeing what that new area on map they added turns out to be.

I liked the F2P elements of the game. But i wouldn't spend money on it. I save my cash for the fire emblem rpg on switch!.

@GloverMist Since Awakening every new player is a "disgrace" to many of the FE fanbase, but considering the kind of people that they are you should take it in a positive way, believe me. I love the game since the first GBA game that we received in America, but I really dislike their fanbase, or at least the majority of it. It's great that you gave the series a chance, and the phone game is a great game, regardless of whatever they tell you.

If you decide to check the other games, I really recommend you Fates (again, regardless of what they tell you). It doesn't have the best story, but it's decent and not horrible as many claim (besides most FE games don't have a great story as many fans claim). Most of the characters are also quite likeable despite being hated by the fanbase, and the gameplay is the most polished, fresh and balanced of all the series. This is coming from someone that has played most of the entries (even the oldest ones) and appreciates the series as a whole. Oh, another unpopular opinion: I prefer the Conquest campaign over Birthright, and I don't dislike Corrin at all.

@roy130390 Thanks for the kind words about all that! One of the main things that put me off about the series even now is the massive divide in fans between the original game fans who can be somewhat elitist about being there first, and newer fans that may only appreciate the more anime style of Awakening/Fates. It's a shame that there's such a divide, as it's all the same series and everyone should be allowed to like what they want, but what can ya do?

I would like to try out one of the 3DS titles one day, though, and see how more complex the gameplay gets. Thanks for the advice!

I never got got into fire emblem.

It is still a great game and you can reach the top without ever spending any money. I took a long break from the game but got back into it late last year.
If you know what you want you can reach the top of the game in rather short time. It is not p2w. Personally i spend 4,50€ on it so far.
I am currently bouncing between tier 20 and 19. So very close to stay at the top in tier 20.

Installed this on the day it came out and I play it every day, best mobile game I've ever played and I haven't spent a penny on it.

I prefer fire emblem warriors.

I haven’t downloaded FE Heroes since Nintendo insists on ignoring that Latin America exist, and using an APK is extremely annoying since you have to update it manually.
