I was sure some tracks were changed more than others, but nope – that was just the terrible GBA speaker in action. The music has also been rebooted with new mixes of all the tracks. The game’s animated cutscenes and talking heads look great but are partially voiced. It does, however, reduce the glanceability of the battlefield initially. There are also small details now added with different armies having different-looking units. They could have gone with a 2DHD-style look, but it works for me. I’ve seen the complaints, but it’s grown on me. Gone are the pixel art characters on the battlefield, replaced with 3D models. Obviously, the most noticeable difference is the graphics. This new difficulty option grants additional units or removes the fog of war from some battles. New to this compilation is the addition of a Casual difficulty, the standard difficulty, the one the Game Boy Advance games had some really brutal levels. Other COs have powers like extended firing range or the ability to move twice in one turn.īattles can be quick, or they can be a real grind. Different COs have different powers which build up over turns, Andy can repair, Max boosts his offence power, and Sami can capture buildings much faster. You play as one of three commanding offers from the Orange Star army, initially defending their land from the Blue Moon army next door. Battles can be won in number of ways, but most of the time it’s blowing stuff up. They’re turn-based strategy games where one commanding offer is pitted against another on a battlefield grid. What is Advance Wars?Īs the name suggests, both games included in Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp are reboots or remakes of the original Game Boy Advance games by the same name. It’s been 15 years, and many people may have yet to play an Advance Wars game, let alone these – the original was released 22 years ago. I’ve been playing the game for around a week now, and while our full review will come, we’ll answer some of your questions about the game. You can see why it was delayed, especially with everything going on. The first two games, Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, are less serious than those later entries and have a cast, some of who are teenagers who wash away the death and destruction of war. This time Wayforward is at the helm, and they’ve given this old dog a few new tricks. That one sold so bad they didn’t make another until now. No, it’s been 15 years since the last Advance Wars title was released back on the Nintendo DS. I’m not just talking about the two-year delay from the announcement of this game. It’s been a long road to get here, and we’re also most there Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp is just a couple of weeks away.
