There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
What I will happily complain about are the graphics. The GBA games were 2d and had really good sprites and animations that hold up to this day. I can't help but feel that the more modern 3d graphics here are a step back in that regard. Though at the end of the day most people play strategy games for the gameplay and not so much the graphics, and the graphics will likely not be as big of a problem if you've never played the originals.
For anyone who hasn't played the GBA games:
Advance Wars is a child friendly turn based strategy game. In terms of gameplay it plays very similar to Wargroove and the Fire Emblem games. It has a very good single player campaign(s) with optional multiplayer. No blood, no guts, no swearing, no adult themes. Honestly, it should hold a Everyone Rating not Everyone 10 and Up Rating. I would strongly recommend Advance Wars as a introduction to turn based strategy games, especially if you're looking buying a game you can play with your kids.
STORY: I don't ever do much in this section as I loathe spoilers. It's simple at first, but has underlying tones and enemies that pop up as you keep playing. Start with the first game, then move to the next. If you do them out of order, it loses the story.
GAMEPLAY: Turn based strategy. This is not a RPG. You will not level up your units. You capture areas to generate income with which you can create more units at various locations, such as airports and factories. Different units have different roles, such as artillery firing over distances, tanks being up front brute force, and infantry being squishier, but easily the most important as they capture areas, including capitals which end the match immediately. This is a 90's era battle simulator done through turns and a colorful art style. CO's (Commanding Officer's) have powers that gradually fill up and can be activated by you. There are a plethora of them to choose from, such as Andy with his healing of units, Max with his mechanized strength boost to tanks, subs, etc, and Grits boost to long range attacks. Some CO's also have passive buffs and debuffs, such as longer or shorter range, like Grit and Max respectively.
GRAPHICS: Cartoony art style may not be for everyone. I like it, but prefer the 2D style and definitely the darker style of Advance Wars Days of Ruin from the DS. It's not bad though and some animations I do really enjoy, such as the rocket launcher blanketing an enemy with rockets.
EXTRAS: There are alot of modes and unlockables. As you do better on missions you will get better rankings, which will give you points to spend in Hachi's Shop. You can purchase new maps, CO's, music, artwork, etc. You have local and online VS modes. There are also AI maps you can play on in the War Room and there are ALOT of maps to unlock in those modes through the shop. You can also design your own maps and play on them. So, you definitely get alot of content in this package.
OVERALL: Again, definitely a must but for strategy fans. If you're curious and haven't tried a game like this before, it's a great entry as well. It has a good tutorial and hints throughout if you need them. You can skip the hints if you don't need them as well. There are also 2 different modes with classic and a more casual diificulty setting. 2 great games both with a ton of content over hundreds of hours for $60. It's a steal in comparison to many other games. 5/5 easily. Now we just need Dual Strike and Days of Ruin...or maybe a new entry.

北米版ですが、アマゾンJPから購入し、市川倉庫から出荷され綺麗な状態でした。
チュートリアルを3つ終え、本編カジュアルモードで数時間遊んだ感想です。
良かった点
・オリジナルをゲームボーイアドバンスや、wiiUバーチャルコンソルで遊んでいるため懐かしさ
+アレンジBGMで新しさも感じました。気がついたら2時間あっという間でした。
・日本語は現在ありませんが、英語でも行動アイコンがわかりやすいため、ストレスなしです。
子どものころ遊んだアルファベットしかないファミコンに比べたらずいぶん親切です。
・戦闘アニメーションが細かくて見てて飽きないです。山から平地へ攻撃するアニメは
鉄砲の角度が上から下へ。川で戦闘すれば水しぶきが。という感じです。
歩兵の動きが可愛くて、どこかで見覚えがあるなと思い記憶を辿ったら
突撃!!ファミコンウォーズの歩兵モーションに近い気がします。
・敵CPUはオリジナルより自然な感じで、程よく痛いところをついてくるようになりました><
・スピーカーにつなげたら砲弾や鉄砲、戦車の移動音など、重低音がすごくて没入感がありました。
・パッケージがリバーシブルで裏面もかっこよかったです。コレクションにはとてもうれしい。
・箱庭っぽく、木箱や段ボール箱の中で遊んでいる演出がこっていて好きです。
気になった点
・テレビモードでも、戦闘アニメーションでややフレームがかくつく気がします。
稀にかくっっとなる程度ですが、個人的にもやっとするので直るなら直してほしいです。
・ミッション勝利時に読み込みなのか、ボタンを押しても2-3秒反応がなくなります。
最初フリーズと思ったくらい無反応だったので、ロードがわかるようにしてほしい。
・オープニングのアニメーションは、黄色いヤツがいれば、ポケモンが始まる雰囲気でした。
・ステージを選ぶときのフィールド音楽をどこかで聞いたことがあり
なかなか思い出せないです。原作というよりファミコンウォーズだった気もします。。。
不思議な点
・なんで日本版を出せないのか、遊んでみても原因が思いつかないです。
流通、セールス的に厳しいのであればDL版専用や、受注生産いろいろあると思います。
歩兵なんて兵隊というよりヘルメットおじさんにしかみえないかわいさなのに…
まだまだ1の序盤です。オンライン要素もタグは作成しましたが
まだ遊んでないので、この連休に遊びたいと思います。

SFC/DS/アドバンス版で続編を探していましたが、中古でも結構高値で売られており、中古本体も同様に高値のため躊躇していたところでしたので助かりました。
日本では未発売(予定なし)のタイトルで日本語にも対応していないため少し不安でしたが、シリーズをプレイしたことがある人なら、あまり苦労せず操作なども理解できるようになると思います。
もちろん、きちんと動作しました。
しばらくswitchやPSで遊んでいませんでしたが、久しぶりに熱中出来るゲームを入手出来た感じです。
