I never had the chance to play the games as a kid and I'm about to play them all for the first time. Can I get a quick rundown on what to expect? Advance Wars thread I guess.

THE TANK DIES
Think Fire Emblem but with no permanent characters, you just purchase generic units and control of the map determines how much money you have to buy shit. Lots of fun, especially in multiplayer and with the map editor.
It's fun stuff, although the tutorial in the first game drags on for too long. AW1 is good, AW2 is the peak, AWDS and AWDoR both go in different directions but are worth checking out too.

Battles tend to go on for longer than fire emblem ones due to constantly making more units btw

Thank you, I understand there's some kind of story, but should I just save the second game for last if it's the best?

Nah, play in order. AW2 builds off AW1 with a handful of new units and mechanics. AWDS adds a shitton of features to AW2 and completely breaks the game's balance because of it. AWDoR just kind of does its own thing and isn't directly comparable to the others in this way.

Alright, thanks.

>all that AW2 multiplayer in the car with the buds
Oh to be 12 again...

They are all good, but dual strike is the best one. Its hard as fuck too. Terrific games, play them all in order.
lash is best girl

Patrician taste. Pretty sure Sami was my first ever fap thoughbecause I couldn't wait until AW2.

>Its hard as fuck too
What the fuck are you talking about? It's the easiest in the series, especially its joke of a "hard mode".
>>385833762
There's criminally little art. AW has some fine waifus.

This. Also, expect some damn good music.
I prefer it to FE myself. Although I've never beaten a single one of the games, but have gotten far in 2 and DS. I really want to go back to them someday and finally finish them.

I was only able to beat the final mission in AW2 by exploiting the AI.

One of the steepest difficulty curves in all of gaming. Good god that mission 20.
