When I saw videos and pictures of the indie game, I was reminded of an old series called Advanced Wars that my friends and I loved playing when we were younger. When I saw that it was finally coming out I knew this would be something that I would have to check out. When I got it I was very reminded of what I loved from the similar series. It even had things like a creator mode where you could make you on maps and challenge missions that were difficult to overcome. Before long my friends even got the game and we were all able to play together just like we used to with Advance Wars. Needless to say, I’m glad I picked this up.

What’s not working:
