As a summoner, players build their army by calling upon popular <em>Fire Emblem<\/em> heroes from worlds that span the breadth of the series. Players will wage tactical battles streamlined for on-the-go play and level up a mix of new combatants and legendary heroes. Some familiar hero characters will become allies, while others will become enemy generals.<\/p>\n<p>Players can enjoy the full majesty of tactical role playing on bite-sized maps designed to fit nicely on a smartphone screen, even when playing in short bursts. Players lead their armies with easy touch-and-drag controls, including the ability to attack by simply swiping an ally hero over an enemy. If they manage to defeat every enemy on a given map, victory will be theirs.<\/p>\n<p>The heroes are depicted in new art hand-drawn by a variety of illustrators, and their voices have been newly recorded. Beyond the main story mode, players can engage in other modes to strengthen their army or to compete against others. Free and timely updates will add new characters and content for additional hours of gameplay as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>Fire Emblem Heroes<\/em> will be available as a free download with optional in-app purchases available.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To prepare for the launch of <em>Fire Emblem Heroes<\/em>, today Nintendo kicks off the <em>Fire Emblem Heroes: Choose Your Legends<\/em> event.
