Critic Reviews for Warside

Warside is like an old family car (tank?). Familiar, sturdy, with a solid engine that will get you where you need to go, but with no frills and a rusty, barebones exterior. While its core tactical systems and pixel art aesthetics are entertaining and likely to satisfy subgenre fans, they remain underserved by a repetitive campaign, rough story and lack of supporting modes and features.

Warside’s single biggest flaw is that it fails to do anything to step out of the shadow of Advance Wars in any meaningful way.

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.
