Nintendo has announced that Fire Emblem Shadows is now available on smart devices, a spin-off that “introduces a new style of battles featuring role-playing and social deduction.”
With gameplay that combines real-time strategy and social deduction, one of the three allies participating in each battle is secretly a treacherous disciple of shadow. You must choose to take on the role of either a disciple of light, who aims to find their way through the labyrinth, or a disciple of shadow.
After the initial battle, players vote to determine who they believe is the treacherous disciple of shadow. The outcome of the vote determines whether the next battle will be more favourable or more challenging. Whether the disciples of light can correctly discover the traitor, or the disciple of shadow can successfully deceive the others, holds the key to how the next battle unfolds.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Listen – There’s Not Much Time: Someone in your party is a traitor. You only have a few minutes per battle to figure out who.
- Prepare for Battle: Choose your weapons and magic skills for maximum impact. Will you remain loyal or betray all you knew? Expect the unexpected.
- Hunt for Bargains: Buy and sell the treasure from battle with other players using in-game Gold! You’ll need a sharp eye to find the sharpest sword.
- Two Tales: Enter the war between the goddesses of light and shadow. Discover the truth in the story by playing through both perspectives.
Fire Emblem Shadows is now available through the App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices.
