Arriving on Android on February 2 and later on iOS, Fire Emblem: Heroes is a mobile turn-based tactics role-playing game in which players gather an army of iconic characters from across series history.
It sounds like any number of collectable hero mobile RPGs. Players use orbs won in combat or purchased via in-app transaction to attempt to summon their favourite Fire Emblem characters into their army. Battles are the same grid-based tactical fare we're used to seeing from Fire Emblem, only a bit more vertical.
Many familiar features of the franchise are at play here, including the attribute wheel (sword beats axe beats lance beats sword). One feature that isn't present is permadeath — characters return to your army when defeated in battle.
Check out the Nintendo Direct, embedded below, for more information on Fire Emblem: Heroes, starting around the 10:15 mark.

With the success of Gacha games like this (FF Brave Exvius, Love Live, Granblue Fantasy, etc.) it'll probably to pretty well, i'll certainly give it a shot as i have been addicted to Gacha games before, never paid money though but had good/frustrating times with them.
Although i'm 100% sure Lucina will be some sort of high level super rare character that i'll never get.
