Wargroove, is an excellent reimagining of Advance Wars, a game that has defined turned-based tactics as we know it. The campaign tells a typical fantasy story we have all heard before, but it serves as a great and fun introduction to Wargroove's deep strategic gameplay. The multiplayer has well-designed maps, and extra modes like the puzzle mode to keep things interesting. The built-in editor is powerful, yet easy to use, and promises endless fresh content in both singleplayer and multiplayer. Although it has some minor issues that could cause inconveniences, they are overshadowed by the game's very enjoyable gameplay.

Wargroove definitely took a while to grow on me since it starts so slow but once it did, I was very happy with what is has to offer.

Overall, although certain aspects of Wargroove can be a bit limited, the gameplay is engaging, and that’s what counts. The new missions and objectives will keep both new and more seasoned gamers on their toes. Either way, look forward to many hours of tactical gameplay. Your characters may not level up in that time, but your problem solving skills most definitely will.

Overall, this game has everything I want to see in RPGs, most of which I haven’t experienced in a long time: great pixel art, simple stories with fun gameplay, and plenty of replayability. This game is worth it simply due to the theoretically infinite levels to make or download. Plus, the nostalgic feeling of embarking on a simple journey to save the world while leading an army is enough for me to relax with on a weekend.

All in all, I was pretty pleased with Wargroove. Not only did it satisfy my nostalgia for Advance Wars, it expanded my expectations in wonderful ways. Best of all, it’s a super affordable package, only costing $19.99 for at least 20+ hours of content (though far more if you want to see everything). Yes, there are still some important kinks to iron out, but I can’t help but recommend this to fans of Advance Wars and tactical games in general. And if you find it too easy, you can always challenge yourself by trying your luck against other players. If you need a new strategy obsession on every major console, do yourself a favor and pick this up.

Without a doubt, due to its long duration and its tactical nature, Wargroove is an indispensable game for lovers of the genre, and for those who are not the same, they can discover a genre that they have not yet played. It has a main campaign around 20 hours, which can be more if you carry out the secondary missions, which will give you plenty of fun. The big downside is that it is one of those games that you either hate or love, almost without middle ground. In addition to a very misunderstood genre today, precisely for that reason its greatest advantage is its greatest defect, as there is little of this genre that makes you adore it even more.

It offers up everything I expected from a game inspired heavily by Advance Wars, plenty of its own sparks of brilliance, and a presentation that made even the longest of conquests easy on the eyes and ears.

It is Advance Wars on the PC, it’s a Tile based XCOM game, it’s a strategy game with NO randomness. There are so many reasons to check out Wargroove, but above all else, it’s just really good.

It’s not a game in which every element is effective, especially for those who demand a powerful narrative, but Chucklefish has made something worth investigating for those thinking Nintendo has let Advance Wars sit around without a follow-up for too long.

The strengths of Wargroove come from the visuals and the gameplay, relegating the story to second place but that’s absolutely no problem for me. In order to get the most out of this game I really had to fall into it and I’m glad I did. There’s plenty to love about Wargroove.

Between the myriad of built-in options – the single player campaign, arcade, and puzzle modes – and the user-generated content that will assuredly continue to stream into the game's library, fans will likely find themselves coming back to Wargroove repeatably to see what new adventures may be in store.

Wargroove is a majestic contender, if not outright successor, to Advance Wars, that every turn-based strategy fan should play. Beyond it’s handsome campaign and likable characters, there’s a ton of customisation and content to dig into or create, which makes it a bargain too.

Wargroove takes everything that fans love about Advance Wars and turns it up to 11! With diverse and interesting unit types, a dozen different heroes to unlock, each with their own unique combat abilities, and a well written, lore-filled campaign Wargroove is every strategy fan's dream game. The sprites are gorgeous, the gameplay is addictive, and the music and voice acting are top notch. Fans of Advance Wars don't want to miss out on this one!

Advance Wars veterans will be right at home in Wargroove, but even everyone else is sure to enjoy the tactical mayhem. However, it wouldn't hurt if the game was a bit faster paced.

The truth is that you never know when a game will change your mind about a gameplay style, and I had high hopes that this would be the case here. If anything, though, Wargroove solidified my distaste for this flavor of attrition-friendly turn-based strategy.

Wargroove will undoubtedly please the majority of fans of the genre, but it is not without faults. Hopefully, this will bring life back to the turn-based tactics genre, and take it to new heights.
