Although Fire Emblem: Heroes was relatively well-received by critics after its February launch, the stamina points system was a consistent knock against the mobile game. Every in-game combat event costs stamina points and in later levels, individual events can cost larger amounts of points. If your bar runs out, you’d have to either wait several hours for it to refill or use in-game items to reload your stamina.

Along with titles like Super Mario Run and its delayed Animal Crossing game, Fire Emblem: Heroes is one of several titles in Nintendo’s push onto mobile platforms for gamers. While Fire Emblem is a slightly deeper cut from Nintendo’s back catalog of game franchises, Heroes didn’t lack in gameplay depth.
