Advanced Wars vs Fire Emblem Heroes
Advanced Wars
Advanced Wars is a rather unique turn-based strategy game where you play as the tactical advisor for the Orange Star Army when war broke out between Orange Star and its neighbors. With invading armies positioned at the borders of your homeland, you'll need to take command of a wide variety of ground, air and naval forces to defend your home and survive the war. The terrain and weather play important roles during your tactical and strategic planning, and you'll be wise to take note of those factors before deploying your units.Advanced Wars is one of the classic strategy games that are nintendo-only. With over 100 maps and stages to play, you'll definitely have hours to sink into this game.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Fire Emblem Heroes is a turn-based strategy/RPG that's inspired in part by the popular Fire Emblem series by Nintendo. However, many fans are calling this game a sold-out because the game has drastically dumbed-down mechanics (no terrain effects, for example) and difficulty that will put the other games in the popular series to shame. Granted that the game needs to be modified to fit the mobile platform and appeal to the more casual mobile gamers, the game is still rather disappointing for hardcore fans of the series.That said, the game features characters from one of Nintendo’s most popular games, an anime-ish storyline, and thankfully, it retains the series' "paper-scissors-stone"-styled combat system. There are plenty of maps for you to battle on, though they may be a tad bit small, and the gameplay is fast-paced enough to be engaging. You can even fight other players with your team of five heroes or come up with new strategies via the practice arena.
Fire Emblem Heroes is the sort of game that's targeted towards a casual audience, and even as this is true, fans of the series might still want to try the game out. You may end up not liking it but at least you can claim to have given this game a chance. However, if you love casual games and the Fire Emblem games, then this is definitely a must-download for you.
