6.5 / 10.0

Warside is full of good ideas, solid mechanics, and clear passion—but it’s not ready for prime time. It plays like a polished prototype that slipped out under pressure. While it can be fun for tactics veterans, the bugs, balance issues, and lack of polish make it a hard sell at launch. Buy it if you’re patient, passionate about Advance Wars-style games, and willing to support development. Wait if you want a finished campaign, strong writing, or competitive multiplayer out of the box. That said, Warside deserves a second look in a few months—if the developers follow through on their patch roadmap. There’s a strong game in here. It just needs more time in the trenches.
