Fire Emblem Heroes became Nintendo’s first major move into the mobile gaming space this past year, and has earned a dedicated fan base that continues to push sales through the end of this year. It has been followed by games like Super Mario Run and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. For the unacquainted, the game tells an all-new story within the same universe, that starts out like this:
“Kingdom of Ice, Nifl, and Kingdom of Flame, Mรบspell. These kingdoms fought against each other, but Mรบspell’s forces, led by the Ruler of Flame, Surtr, overwhelmed Nifl and brought the fighting to a bitter end. Escaping her destroyed homeland, Fjorm, a Princess of Nifl, met the Order of Heroes in Askr. With help from the Order of Heroes, Fjorm clings to the hope that she can restore her homeland, but the invading forces of Mรบspell have arrived in Askr…”
