It was fun to return to this franchise that I liked for a moment as a kid, but it does not reach the same peaks that I took away from it during that time.
The artstyle is very cool and nice and does well with bringing to life the playstyle I remember. It doesn't touch the gameplay formula one bit.
And that is sadly a potential shortcoming, as Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp feels outdated outside the visuals. It could have benefited from a "rewind action" button compared to redoing the entire turn option that's present in the game. It could have benefitted with some modern tweaks or new additions. The gameplay also had weird spikes in difficulty that went from very easy to all of the sudden punishing.
If you were looking to experience nostalgia and relive the advance wars experience, this should be a fun time for you. If you're looking for something different within the stradegy RPG realm, maybe not.
