Advanced Wars style TBSs Ok - i've been doing a bit of research on Advance Wars type games. There are a few threads on the same topic (Cross posted this in each of these) 6178 46397 82223 (this one) 34790 From what I can gather there are quite a few games (Prices are in NZ dollars - so drop them a bit for $US) Uniwar $1.29 Mecho wars $1.29 Rogue Planet $6.49 Battle for Wesnoth $5.30 Battle Academy iPad only. $24.99 War of eustrath ipad only. $4.19 ($6.49 iPad) Great little war game $2.99 Armament 2028 $2.59 War3100 0.99c Transformers G1 Awakening $1.29 War Generation not available in New Zealand store?! Agile Forces - in development Update: Highborn Military Madness - a remake of an old TurboGrafx game Civil War 1863 Tank Battle 1944 Tactical Soldier-Undead Rising I'm sure there are more. reply with any others and I'll update this post. I havent tried them all, but: Mecho Wars was good and pretty straight forward, but does not have many features or unit types. Uniwars seems to be very impressive, smooth and it has lots of modes. 3 races and online rankings. I was not very happy with War 3100. It seemed unintuitive and hard to control. But I gave up playing that after the 4th mission. I can't comment too much on the others, I've only tried a few of them. Anyone care to rate these with respect to each other? Cheers Simon
Great little war game is in some ways the closest. It's got a sense of humor about it. Cartoonish graphics. And a sequel in the works. It's definitely worth what you'd be spending on it and more.
I can see our marketing department (ie me) still has a hill to climb if someone can leave a post like this hanging without anyone mentioning Great Big War Game... Your initial post was basically our design doc! The game just scooped a "Game of the Year" award from IGN in the mobile strategy category and is also currently on sale for a buck. EDIT: Our marketing department now feels better seeing this is a necro thread, lol Great Big War Game Rubicon ▶ GAME OF THE YEAR, WINNER !!
