Seems ok, but why the always online? No offline mode?1 found this helpful
It seems to require an internet connection, game wants me to sign in to play it (on the deck, which I mostly use in offline mode). If you want/need to play offline, don't buy this game. That's why my playtime is so low.1 found this helpful
If you liked Advance Wars, this will definitely hit the spot. It’s really fun and challenging, with a refreshed look, some interesting new units, and an enjoyable campaign.
Amazing game. Feels like a modern advance wars. The option for mobile and async play takes things to a new level.
Very fun advance wars inspired game with addicting gameplay, but I have a few issues with it. First off the soundtrack in game (except the main menu theme which i feel is very boring and uninspired) is great but there's only a few songs per biome, the main menu really sucks there's like 10 trillion buttons and i think they should have just had a few more sub menus to not make the main one so cluttered. I don't really like how the factions don't really have much personality unlike advance wars where each faction was very distinct. This is mostly because this game also doesn't have any unique commanders like advance wars does, instead each unit has a unique leader with their own personality but you only ever see that personality in dialog that plays before and after campaign missions. Idk man the leaders are kinda cool but I definitely prefer commanders, but at least they tried something new. also the zombie unit in fog of war makes me want to die that ♥♥♥♥ is genuinely the most annoying unit in the game especially on maps that have no air, or no naval units. anyway the core gameplay is really good its just the things that surround it are kind of flawed.
A worthwhile successor to Advance Wars, swapping COs as characters for the Units as characters in the campaigns. You, as the CO, is customisable through unlockable equipable powers.
