These days, they just feel like old friends that I fell out of touch with.2XXXXXXX 000000YY Writes byte YY to. Wargroove is wonderful in its own right, but I’d love to know what happened to Andy, Sami and Max. I have no issue with modern Fire Emblem - far from it - just, playing Fire Emblem: Awakening, I couldn’t help but wonder what a modern Advance Wars under that guise would be like. It’s just a shame Intelligent Systems didn’t have the guts to further the ‘next gen’ narrative of Dual Strike in Days of Ruin - if they’d stuck to their guns, we’d probably still be getting the sequels I want to this day. and pretty telling.Īdvance Wars 1, 2 and Dual Strike will always exist as one of my favourite trilogies of all time - across all mediums. The filmic comparisons to a games series reinventing itself on chapter four are interesting. Into the Breach has just enough flavour text to be compelling, whereas I thought Advance Wars: Days of Ruin just came off as pale imitator of the original series. The narrative of old Advance and Fire Emblem flourished in my young mind because imagination filled in the blanks. Wargroove and Into The Breach remind me of the notion of Marvel Comics’ ‘second generation’, where comics fans grew up and made their own versions of iconic formulas. Honestly, if they ever did make another Advance Wars (I’ve given up hoping), I can’t imagine it’d be what long time fans wanted. Dual Strike really didn’t sell that well, and it’s a shame we won’t ever return to such an interesting and vibrant cast. I’ve questioned many times why they didn’t return to the characters I love and the series as a whole. It’s an ‘evolution’ of the formula that didn’t work for everyone. The fourth one didn’t click with me, but if you don’t mind the uninspiring story, then the gameplay is certainly worth playing - after the first three. The series really evolves and finds its tone over the course of those three games, and all are worth playing. Additionally, the gameplay is widely believed to be the most balanced out in the entire series which makes it a fan favorite among competitive players.ĭual Strike is my favourite game of all time, but is very much the ‘new generation’ third chapter story wise to Advance 1 and 2 - which are also both wonderful. The art style takes a lot more inspiration from Fire Emblem and it has a much more serious tone compared to the earlier entries. If you're looking for something a little more similar to Fire Emblem, Days of Ruin is probably the closest you can get. I wouldn't recommend starting out with it, but definitely check it out if you enjoy the other games. If you think AW1 would be a bit too simplistic, try AW2.ĭual Strike is built around the core feature of being able to use two commanders at once and mixed things up a little more than Black Hole Rising did while still retaining the charm and characters of the older games. AW1 has a really great campaign mode with tonnes of charming characters and what is probably the most balanced gameplay of the first three games.īlack Hole Rising is a lot like an expansion pack to AW1 offering a few new features and updated graphics while still retaining the charm, feel, and core mechanics of the first game. I'd personally recommend starting with the original Advance Wars. Each of them has their own merits and it depends on what you're looking for in a game. There's no real consensus as to what the "best Advance Wars game" is, but none of them are bad either.
