Critic Reviews for Wargroove 2
Wargroove 2 is still one of the best tributes to Advance Wars out there, and bigger than its predecessor in every way, even though otherwise not much has changed.
Bigger, better, more refined than its predecessor. Perhaps standing out a little less now, but with vast potential.
It isn't often that war is a cozy affair, but Wargroove 2 manages to pull it off. We loved the game's colourful, vibrant art and playful writing, and there is enough depth and variety in the main campaign to satisfy most tactics fans while the Conquest mode will offer an even greater challenge for those seeking it. It doesn't change much from the previous game; it just tightens up some of the existing mechanics and adds a couple of extra wrinkles to an already great formula. It's a brilliant sequel, and yet another worthy successor to Advance Wars.
Wargroove is an excellent game that builds on its predecessor, offering a classic, narrative driven campaign for genre veterans and newcomers alike.
The debt to Advance Wars still overshadows it, but despite a relative lack of new features this is a solid sequel to one of the best indie strategy games of the last few years.
Wargroove 2 is a fantastic sequel to an already great strategy game, building off of the foundation of the original to reach new heights.
Even though Nintendo has now come out with a modern Advance Wars game of its own, Wargroove 2 stands as more than a mere homage. With a grander scale and more units, Commanders, and other gameplay features than ever, Wargroove 2 is an excellent strategy experience. The new Conquest roguelike mode feels like a complete experience packed within an already feature-rich game. Even after the campaigns are over, the Conquest mode, missed optional objectives, and future custom content will ensure plenty of reasons to stick around. If you enjoyed Wargroove or Advance Wars and want another fantastic strategy offering, Wargroove 2 is not to be missed.
Wargroove 2 feels more like a big DLC. The game systems have hardly been improved and there are very few new units and commanders. Fortunately, the Campaign mode offers a substantial amount of content with improved quality compared to the previous game. While the roguelike mode offers a fresh experience, the actual enjoyment of the game is somewhat limited.
