Is anyone else excited for this shitty Advance Wars Clone on PC?
I am now! I love advance wars. How have I not heard of this?
A little bit. Definitely going to need a mod to change the hideous character art though.
It looks and sounds like a cheap ripoff, but I really am desperate for any type of AW game so yes.

>Advance Wars gameplay
>Fire Emblem-like units
>No waifu faggotry
Neat
>>387601815
Did you fags forgot the original Advance Wars clone on pc? dead devs but you can keep playing them.
>Chucklefish
>>387602576
Whats wrong with chuckle fish? I liked Stardew valley and they don't price gouge their customers.
>>387602739
Probably bought into the early access Starbound meme and is eternally buttblasted
I actually like the look of this
>>387602739
That was only published by them. Chucklefuck will probably fuck this up somehow.
Looks OK, there is another nice looking 3D one too but I forget the name
no the tumblr faces ruin it
Only if it has the excellent music from AW:DS
Has there been any announcement on how much it will cost?
>>387602524
You mean the battle isle series? those are the of games but nobody here remembers them
I remember playing and advance wars clone on PC, an old doujin game where all the units were mecha musume girls.
Do any oldfag remembers this game?
>>387601815
if its cheap I might get it on the Switch
>>387602428
>>Fire Emblem-like units
Only in the sense that they're medieval style. Each "character" represents a squad or platoon like in Advance Wars.
>>387602820
I never bought starbound because I already have Terraria. But isn't that game decent now? A quick look at their blog mentions recent content updates so its not like they took the money and ran.
>>387602948
also, leader specific music
>>387603056
Probably Gadget Trial.
>>387601815
Chucklefish are shit devs though, the only thing they've made themselves is Starbound. Look up the dev cycle on that gem.
They did pick some good games to publish, I'll give them that at least.
>>387601815
Fire Emblem*
Wasn't there a browser based online fan game? Used the same sprites and everything. I don't recall if it was any good, but it was a memory from my teenage years.
>>387603326
No, it's an Advance Wars clone. Pic related is what happens when two units engage.
>>387603274
That's it! Thank you kind anon.
>>387602524
Mind giving us a name, champ?
>>387603162
Eh they've released 2 so far. One had shitty collection and fishing. The other added endgame dungeons with some new loot.
They're working on a big one that will change space travel.
None of what they've done fix the real problems with the game though. Combat is shit. Progression is shit. Most all systems in the game are insanely shallow. Worlds are static and boring as fuck without Events. Bosses don't spawn like in Terraria, they have their own levels you can't build in.
I want a modern millitary theme.
Medieval combat gridbased turnbased videogames have a healthy franchise they should stay in and stop oozing into other games.
I'll buy a new advance wars in a heartbeat but have no interest in this trash.
>Switch will probably get some neat exclusive goodies via amiibos like costumes (and they'll be free thanks to amiibos being easy to fake)
>Will also be portable and much, much better for playing while lounging around the house or with friends
>But the online will eventually not be free and it will never, ever get mod support
>PC will be much easier to build and share levels for with the editor, will always be free online, and is likely to get some QOL stuff added via mods down the line
>But can't be played portably and sucks for local co-op compared to the Switch
at this point i'm just waiting to see which version ends up getting more active threads on /v/ so i can hopefully relive the glory days of AW multiplayer being common on here
>>387603524
>the entire game is fucking gorgeous looking except for the commanders, whose sprites are a mixed bag and whose portraits are near universally fucking awful
why
>>387603668
reminds me of the people who liked guitar hero but couldn't play rock band because they wanted the notes to be circles instead of squares.
>>387603590
This.
I'd say the problem is they're all ideas and terrible execution.
I wouldn't trust them with this either.
>>387603805
A shape is not a visual theme. A shape is not an aesthetic. If I want knights and wizards there is an untapped franchise of like 10 games I could pick from. AW has nothing anymore.
>>387603742
It's truly sad.
>>387601815
There is already several Nintendo Wars clones on PC, none of them are worth anything.
The tactical ain't all.
There is no good music, no good sprites, no good animation, no good characters, no good generals, no good scenario, no good modding tools, no good network capacities.
The best Nintendo Wars we have is the modded Adance Wars GBA roms with network addon.
Some custom maps are really good.
But hey, if one day, a good game comes out, why not.
But it will probably will need to be made by japs, westerners can't do turn-based tacticals for shit.

nice try landlubbers
>>387604723
He's a charming shlub. Compare that to pic related.
I'll probably get the game for the Switch for the local play potential.
And then, if the PC version for whatever the reason gets a much more successful modding scene than I anticipate (I am not confident), then I'll probably just end up getting the game twice to solve that. But I doubt it. If I am wrong however, it'll likely be because the game was worth the effort, in which case I probably wouldn't mind getting it twice.
But yeah. The Switch version looks more appealing to me. Portable, and easy local play multiplayer.
>>387604810
Is this a lady? Either way I feel sorry for the person.
>>387604351
>westerners can't do turn-based tacticals for shit.
What about Xcom?
>>387605051
Master of Magic was incredible too.
>actually playing through advance wars 1 again and plan to play the rest after
>fog of war missions
>AI just know where you are anyway
what was the point of this and does it still exist in next games?
has been like a fucking decade since the first game or something
>>387604810
I put up with having drakes gut in the frame for 3 games, you kids can deal with some ugly yet passable pixel art.
Its about the game play first and foremost or did you guys forget about that?
>>387605051
Or Jagged Alliance, Silent Storm, or huge amounts of Wargames and strategy games in general.
>>387601815
Are all the heroes women
>>387604351
I think you have that in reverse, Japan can't do turn based tactical games worth shit
The only active series they have that I can think of is fire emblem.
There hasn't been a new advanced wars or FF tactics for a hot minute
Reminds me of some of the Heroes 3 portraits
I was until the tumblr nose portraits popped up. They are too damned distracting and greatly reduce the game's potential enjoyment.
>>387605051
>>387605889
Oh you mean the best games in the genre? They don't count because they have no anime girls in them.
>>387605051
>>387605889
this is /v/ or /vanimetiiddies/
>>387602576
Eh, Risk of Rain turned out fine, as long as they aren't actually dev-
FUCK
>Capture properties from adjacent space.
I don't understand this.
>Season cycle
Neat concept.
>Boring generic western fantasy setting
Why?
I'll probably check it out if the design map tool is robust and it develops a strong community.I miss Advancewarsnet and the Design Maps board
>>387603524
>tumblr artwork
Someone post the blue haired tranny.
>>387607070
man, i didnt even notice it till you pointed it out. this shit is ruined for me now.
>>387601815
>tumblr nose
