Preview by Matt S. If there’s one thing that Fire Emblem Heroes proved without a shadow of a doubt, it’s that the mechanics of a tactics JRPG can be tailored for mobile quite nicely.

Review by Harvard L. ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS comes from Radial Games, an indie team responsible for Monster Loves You and sharing some developers with the studio that made Fantastic Contraption.
