About this game

■ A War Between Order and Instinct
Discover the continent of Ardeal, a land of beasts. Here, disciples dedicated to the goddess of light defend order, while those sworn to the goddess of shadows prize instinct. Safety for those caught their struggle is fleeting, and open war is ever on the horizon.

"What is your wish?"

The goddess of shadows can grant any wish, but her price is servitude. To become her disciple is to become a monstrous beast, bound to obey her every command.

■ Light and Shadow
Each character has two forms. Often, they appear as human. But when they submit to the shadow, the power of their bestial self comes forth.

"Which will you choose, the light or the shadow?"

■ Deduction and Intrigue
A traitorous shadow has infiltrated the ranks. Now, no one can be trusted and everyone is a suspect.

Experience two sides to each story: see through the eyes of those serving the light, and venture with those sworn to the shadow. Only together can the full story be told.

■ Rich Support Conversations
Unlock support conversations—personal moments between characters who appear in the story—providing a glimpse into their lives.

■ Intuitive Battle System
During battle, characters move on their own. Simply drag and drop to target and use your many skills.

Wield an arsenal of skills including attacks, recovery spells, buffs, debuffs, and movement abilities. Keep a sharp eye on the battle and cast wisely!

■ Observe and Discover
Each battle has two phases: the Sun Room and the Moon Room.

In the Sun Room, three players work together to drive back the monsters. But beware! One of you is secretly a traitor.

Did an ally act strangely? Whose spells hindered more than helped? Watch closely to spot the traitor.

■ A Climactic Head-to-Head Battle
In the Moon Room, the traitor takes on their beast form for a final head-to-head battle against their former allies.

Identifying the traitor beforehand grants added strength. But the disciple of shadow is very powerful, and if they win, their victory will be final. Successful deduction or deception swings the tide of battle!

■ Test Your Mettle
Take on a unique battle system! Enjoy introductory battles against computer-controlled foes, easing you into the game and its mechanics.

■ Characters from Across Fire Emblem's History
Characters from other Fire Emblem titles, such as the heads of house from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, are added monthly.

I've been playing since launch and I'm at the point I'm just logging in for the daily bonuses. I would be more invested in this game if the whole system respected the players time. I don't appreciate receiving rewards that are no use to me, like 1000 disciple medals for a disciple I don't even have, or will ever get because of the poor reward drop rates!! This game is in desperate need of a overhaul to stay relevant, because as is, it's doomed to fade into the shadow of Fire Emblem Heroes.

The "strategy" element barely gets to exist in an auto chess format and the social deception barely matters if you play out the 2v1 anyway. Once you've played 2 or 3 matches you've seen just about all the game offers you. The best praise I can give it is that the character designs are at a baseline level good, but much as I hate to say it there's just nothing of substance and the game is ultimately just boring. It clearly wasn't made for FE enthusiasts, but who it was made for is indecipherable.

It's nice, it's simple, and if i need to kill 5 minutes, it works. However, that in its own is a disadvantage because the game is essentially that: a 5-minute time killer. The game needs something more and asap. Cause a 3-person "social deduction" game can only be so entertaining after a few rounds.
