Enjoyable but boring and long after a while

A love letter to Advanced Wars. Lovely art and music.

First thing I played was the co-op campaign with a friend. It was alright, but I wish it was more fleshed out.

In a game genre where you have to respect pacing, pacing disrespects you..

Captures the feeling of some of the older fire emblem games, but with a much cuter style, and more interesting characters and events, plus some great gameplay. This is what I wanted Tiny Metal to be, but closer to advance wars.


With Advanced Wars being dead in the water for the longest time, wargroove is essentially a fan game of advanced wars with a fantasy coat of paint instead of military. Being a fire emblem guy through and through, i cant really get behind the generic units and mission based structure but there is for sure something to be said for the money management and the focus of multiplayer.

muito bonito e o começo do jogo apresenta uma história interessante, mas as batalhas se tornam muito longas e repetitivas, não funcionou para mim

Wish you could kill the dogs, but besides that it throws a frankly hilarious grenade directly at the starbound lore and has fairly solid gameplay and music. However, many achievements are a huge difficulty spike relative to normal gameplay, and even seemingly basic completion tasks can be extremely opaque to figure out.

Did this in a rush after playing Advance Wars. It's less good, through having too many units. But hey, still scratches that itch.

Pas attiré par le tactical façon Advance Wars, testé parce que ça arrivait sur Switch... et quelle bonne surprise !
Graphismes pixels très bien réalisés, musiques au top, un scénario bien mené, des missions et des héros variés...
C'était vraiment très cool !

RPG a lo Advance Wars que desprende una energía MAJÍSIMA: los gráficos, la música, los personajes, LA TRADUCCIÓN (ponedlo en español que no os vais a arrepentir)

Pero es MUY DIFÍCIL Y HAY QUE PENSAR MUCHO 😭

I hadn't really played tactics games before this and Wargroove got me HOOKED! Beautiful pixel art and Advance Wars style gameplay made for a really memorable experience. Plus - you can make your own levels and campaigns, very cool!

This game set out to be a spiritual successor to the 'wars' series (most notably advanced wars). I think it did an incredible job doing that. The combat feels just as good, and the change to having your CO powers be fighters on the map makes every choice feel even more impactful, as you do not want to lose them.

I personally get a bit backed off from these types of games as the battlefields get more complex with more enemies all at once. However, I think the pace is great, and if you like the tactical turn based combat style of game, you'll enjoy it beginning to end.

Scratched the itch for when I fiending for Advance Wars

I never finished the campaign, but the multiplayer is a blast, especially if you can get a full group of four together. Just make sure you set aside at least two hours for it.

The game looks great and im sure its fun for those who like advance wars but i couldnt find the motivation to finish

I like how this game took inspiration from Advance Wars, and gave it an nice little spin with it commanders. It has a safe story with unique enough characters to enjoy it, plus an decent soundtrack to follow. I dont know why despite having that great soundtrack, they choose to use the same 3 battle songs, it makes you go crazy. Other than that, it's pretty enjoyable and adjustable to your own difficulty

I'm probably just not very good or this game just really isn't for me, but I found the whole experience to be very repetitive, overly and meaninglessly difficult, and extremely limited. The music was also driving me slowly insane.

The game has good mechanics, but the aesthetics and story are too unremarkable. I tried playing it twice, but I wasn't hooked, unfortunately. Still, the devs deserve respect for the hotseat option.

It certainly scratches that advanced wars itch and the sprites are pretty, but the story is nothing amazing and the final level is a bit cheap. Plenty of extras to keep you playing for a while more if you like the gameplay.

It somewhat satisfies the Advance War hunger you had when it came out

Plenty of extra content to entertain you from story to bonus challenges to test your skill. It also has some of the most insane multiplayer features ever: crossplay, custom map support, email notification for when it's your turn, who the hell looks at their email while their gaming??

incredibly beautiful pixel art, but battles were wayyyyy too long

Wargroove (2019): No he jugado nunca a Advance Wars, y tal vez he pagado mi inexperiencia, pero arrinconar al rival y acabar perdiendo el progreso de 30 minutos por la muerte del comandante me cortaba el rollo horriblemente. Por lo demás muy divertido y adictivo (7,20)

Really beautiful pixel art graphics, essentially an Advance Wars clone with a fantasy setting.

However it didn't hit the mark for me. Battles take way too long to get through, and the difficulty is all over the place with a lot of surprise units, leading you to have to replay these already over long battles. I just didn't have the patience for this one.

Jogo muito bonito. Chega uma hora que fica muito difícil, desisti.

I had a lot of fun with this game. I loved the different factions in the game and how that changed the way they looked. I liked the ways the game made it feel like an actual battle scenario and how that changed the way the player needed to act in their moves. I also loved the humor in the game in the dialogue and bios.

Tried to play it a while ago, but dropped quickly. The writing is very bad, like it was written by a kid. Don't remember what exactly was bad about the gameplay, I guess it was just THAT boring. Or maybe I didn't get to the good part? Oh well, whatever.
