Wargroove is the Advance Wars successor its long-neglected fans have been waiting for. It faithfully revives the tactics I loved that series for while putting plenty of its own spins on the concept. Campaign levels do have a tendency to go on longer than...
Special 'groove' moves add tactical depth, Charming retro styling and cute dogs, It's pretty much Advance Wars
Awkward interface leads to mistakes, Difficulty really ramps up in later levels, It's pretty much Advance Wars
Wargroove is a faithful update of a classic strategy series and, despite some smart additions, never really achieves more than that. The competence is commendable, and this is a solid game that will keep strategy fans amused for a while.Unfortunately, the...
Abstract: Halfway through playing WarGroove, which is secretly a pretty odd game, a thought occurred to me which turned out, the more I considered it, to be a pretty odd thought. What if this game isn't made by Chucklefish as the title screen suggests, the thought...

Great character design, Simple but challenging gameplay, Tons of extra features and game modes
Uneven difficulty, Pace of battles can be grueling, Unit range and damage can be difficult to decipher
