I didn't rate this game because I didn't put enough time into it to really give it a rating. I picked it up because I've sunk hundreds of hours into the various Advance Wars games over the years, and from what I can see, this is their closest spiritual successor. And it is, but maybe a little bit too much. After putting in an hour or so, I just felt like I was playing something I'd already played before, and never picked it up again after the first play session.

This is a solid game, coming close to filling the Advance Wars-sized void that's been in my heart for like 12 years.

This is a solid game, coming close to filling the Advance Wars-sized void that's been in my heart for like 12 years.
I sort of hate all the characters and the "tutorial" stuff in the first act was really tedious, not to mention 6 enemies spawning around my commander at the end of a 20 minute mission, making it impossible to complete, thus I will never get that time back. But the gameplay is more important than the story in this type of game, and the death was an unlucky, freak thing.
Despite all that, excited to play more! I am playing the Xbox One version, but on my PC.

Anyone here been playing Wargroove? I think it's so well designed, but the crushing difficulty of it is killing me. It's really frustrating to get like 40 minutes into a mission and make one mistake that just destroys everything. I'm only 3 chapters in and I come out of my first try at every mission like "There's no way I'll …

Here's another vote for this game being fantasy Advance Wars. But they do a few things differently, for anyone worried (not me though, I loved the original Advance Wars to death and still emulate it on the regular).

So... This is, without question, Advanced Wars with a medieval fantasy skin. Which is not a criticism. I loved Advanced Wars and I didn't like that the later games took away the whimsical style the first two games in the series had, and this definitely seems to have it.

I'm not far in, yet, so I'm hoping there will be some cool surprises to find, but I think that it'll definitely be worth picking up hot of the press and not doing my usual patient gamer thing.
