Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH) – mobile game on iOS and Android – has been around since February 2017. It’s a spin-off game based on the Fire Emblem franchise. It’s a more simplified version of the traditional Fire Emblem games.
FEH is not as popular as Pokemon Go. Only 10 million+ combined downloads/installs on both platforms. It’s rather tiny when compared to more than 750 millions for Pokemon Go (source). It’s estimated about 500K active FEH users (based on Arena weekly play), while there are more than 5 million active pokemon go daily users.
