I know Mischief loved this as a strategically sneaky Advance Wars. I put it down halfway through just one world war game.
The one word that kept cropping up during play was "annoying". It's annoying how most units just plink each other to death. It's annoying how destroyed units block movement. It's annoying how the best way they could come up with to avoid stalemates was to make total money finite and have no repair option. It's annoying how in 90% of cases, the expensive units are always the better buy. It's annoying how it feels like you're playing Advance Wars with nothing but light tanks, medium tanks, and nerfed artillery. The guerilla forces and secret ally sudden units are annoying. The way it handles airpower (long range plinking) is annoying. The way it handles air defense (unit that simply blocks airstrikes; you cannot directly shoot at air units) is annoying. Units attacking at fully strength regardless of health left is annoying.
There isn't anything satisfying destruction or breakthrough routing like Advance Wars. There's no colorful appealing visuals. No satisfying counters. Just annoying plinking, surprise units, and dried up income sources. |
