  • Great game, needs some tweaks for more depth.

    Having a blast with the game but it can use some changes.One thing id change is during the voting phase, everyone has a vote already placed by default. This makes people think they are getting voted by someone without them actually voting for the person and influences peoples decisions. Hide peoples votes until they actually choose someone.

    So, don’t get me wrong, I love this game and think its super fun. I think that there’s so many neat things about this being quick, bite sized content that’s easy to consume. The mechanics of voting out the Shadow player seems to be beyond me, however. I haven’t been wrong on a vote, because usually the shadow players never change their votes at all when the phase comes up. That’s not even the main thing that boggles me. There’s been countless times where I’ve played both Light and Shadow and I don’t play to kill, just to blend in and be fine, but I somehow end up with both teammates voting me out instantly. Perhaps this has something to do with playing with friends? Even then, there’s been so many times where that type of situation happens, then the Moon Room feels unbeatable because people just don’t play or they give up and don’t make smart decisions to beat the Shadow player. I feel like this game has a lot that it can offer to players in terms gameplay and what it has to offer, but it also feels like its limiting itself in the same, oddly uncomfortable ways.

  • It’s okay

    Game was okay when I played when it first came out. I deleted because it was a little boring and repetitive. I wanted to redownload and see if they’ve added more or changed things, but it makes me replay the tutorial? Doesn’t give me an option to sign back in. I’m not willing to do the tutorial again because why would I need to? I don’t understand why I can’t login and just resume where I left off? It’s 2026 that should be the mandatory with any game at this point. I’m just going to delete. Okay game with repetitive game play. Unique? Absolutely.

  • Interesting, but to what End?

    At first I thought I would only like this game for its art alone, and while I need to go further to give the story more of a fair shake, I’ve gotten to like the gameplay somehow. It’s for sure a weird way to take Fire Emblem, ”mobile strategy with Among Us gimmicks” but its easy to pick up, and there’s a nice balance to either play for light as an easier way to play, or choose to fight for the shadow and go for a bit more of a challenge. I appreciate that I don’t have to work too hard to get new characters to play with, but I worry the strategy of “target myself to trick the others is a little too easy to pull off. Some get lucky guesses, but there really isn’t any penalty for offing yourself to get the heat off your back. This will be a hard game to balance, and I worry it’s going to disappear before it can reach its full potential. All in all, I like it, will probably play a lot of it over the next few weeks, but I hope they add some changes to make the gameplay more dynamic. And I want to see more of these characters.

  • Game has its hooks in me

    This game is a fantastic way to kill some time. Each battle is bite-sized and lasts about 3-5 minutes. The social deduction element suffers from the same problems all similar games suffer from — to have fun with it you need to play with people who are capable of paying even the most minute amount of attention, which sadly means 99% of people don’t qualify. However, the games are so fast and generally consequence free (you still gain in ranking when you lose, at least for a while) that it doesn’t bother me too much. You gain in power by leveling up all your characters, each of whom has four spells that level with them, three of which can be used by every other character as well. Super neat, though a bit confusing at first. If I have one complaint it’s that you’re gonna get one-shot a lot early on. Even later on progression, if you’re light and the enemy is dark and has a decently leveled spell that exploits your element you might end up one-shot. But it’s fun and worth your time.

  • Not exactly what I expected…

    Not that it’s a bad thing… Normally. I love Fire Emblem with a passion it’s one of my favorite games. So when a friend of mine told me about this and the chibi art style I was excited. Then I played it… And it’s bad. I don’t understand how the concept of this game works for Fire Emblem at all. I don’t understand how “ find the traitor “ and it being an auto battler that your only control is moving abilities around. I like the turn based old school ones. Where you learned about the characters and developed attachments and there is a goal. I don’t even know what the goal of this game is… I will say the absolute worst game in the series. I even told my friend night one of playing this slop it was awful. I feel the game could have been good with a different style like my original characters and all that and not ripping the name FE. The gameplay also gets old very quickly. As I said it’s an auto battler that you only can move abilities then “ guess “ who the traitor is then it’s another auto boss battle slop and win or lose yay. Maybe two minutes of gameplay at best? It’s just so drab and dull. I wouldn’t recommend it at all if you expect an FE game.
