Let me be clear: I am a core gamer -- all of the current (and old) consoles are in my home, but I still play Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. I am a person who loves to solve at a core; this game will definitely appeal to the ones who seek to think. I would say that the biggest change is the naval combat; battleships can now move and shoot in the same turn, and Carriers can now produce Sea Plans (attack both land, and air) - though they have lost their anti-air missile capabilities.-Great story, and surprisingly engaging.-Huge Selection of maps to play on -- campaign, trial (think of them as your pseudo hard campaign), free battle (at least 200 maps there), and you can create and download maps.-Very addicting with it's intuitive design.-Units can now level up three times (they gain a little attack and defense with each level); this doesn't break the game - but it does make you think a lot more about making sure to strategically keep as many units alive through combat as possible. I've had it since it launched, and still playing it to this day. A must buy for any strategy fans. With prologue to the review done, I will move on to what I liked and didn't like. This game is absolutely fun, and challenging. -Units have been rebalanced -- prices, new units, some units cut, and strengths/weaknesses.
POSITIVES:-Will challenge you. The brain is a muscle, and this game definitely works mines out. The level of the unit could be the difference between the a win or a loss.NEGATIVES:-They took out the War Room -They took out Haichi's store -- I always enjoyed buying things; so I do miss that aspect-Less CO's to choose from-They don't rank you in Free Battle (this is small).In the end, the positives highly outweigh the negatives, and I'm truly happy with this game. This game is truly a refined experience.
Standard advance wars game with a few new units. If a fan of the previous titles it's a must have, if your new to the series I recomend Dual Strike
it is a fun, challenging, and super fun game. where each turn units have so many spaces they can move. Advance wars: Days of Ruin for DS is a grid style turn based fighter. whether sitting down for an hour, or playing it on the go. and have a specified attack range. with the overall goal to eliminate all your enemies forces. Advance wars days of ruin is a must.I bought the game and didn't even play it for three weeks but now that I have I can't put it down. AW:DR is my favorite DS title.
What could be more fun. Get the first Advanced wars then when you get bored get this. Hours of chess type enjoyment only with tanks,airplanes,battleships. Easier to play than chess too. I highly recommend this game.
Days of Ruin is a new spin on a already proven kick arse series. It doesn't matter if you haven't played any of the previous advanced war games. If your looking for strategic gameplay and have the time to kill pick up this amazing game.
