hersheyfan Right on, I guess I meant Skirmish mode and map editor. I love the tinker and inventor design behind the Heavensong!

Thanks! Sadly, no DRM free release announced as of the moment, the official page specifically says Steam... heres hoping they get around to it soon!
I'll add that detail in, thanks for reminding me! =)
Yeah, it's really unique. Ancient technology mixed with Asian influences, the soundtrack for the Heavensong CO's have a really Japanese sound. I'm also big on Tenri's Groove: being able to transport units long distance is just begging for some creative abuse. =D
Yup! Chucklefish clearly love dogs, which I respect.
I never pre-order games, but it's Advance Wars with a commander dog wearing armor. I'm willing to throw $20 at the idea sight unseen; the execution is a nice bonus.

Thanks! From 2017: https://www.pcgamer.com/were-making...bitious-branching-narratives-and-mod-support/
I hope it is still true, couldn't find anything on the steam page tho.
I'm hoping for a total conversion Advance Wars mod. You know it's coming.

Thanks for providing me with the link! I added it to the top of the page, cheers!
As I understand, they wanted to differentiate the COs using their CO powers ("Grooves") this time out without giving them drastic specializations, in order to make the game more balanced. Like, if a certain bunch of COs were dominant on sea-based maps, youd basically be forced to pick them or you'd subject yourself to a massive handicap.
Very much looking forward to this, but I do kind of need some good reviews to push me over the edge. It looks great, but I hope the gameplay holds up as well.
Thanks for the clarification. I think it's a good idea once you explained me why they took that decision. I find cool that COs are actual units and the Critical hit system looks great. I can't wait to try this game.
amazing OT
also I don't know how I never knew this but this is a chucklefish game?? that's fucking amazing! this whole time I was just jazzed for a really good looking advance wars style game and now I'm even more jazzed

Yup, its a Chucklefish joint. England's finest, baby!
Killer CO power/groove, no doubt. But it also pushes you to move your units in packs to maximize the effect, which in turn can apparently be exploited by other COs.
Preloaded on the Switch, which means I haven't touched my Switch all week as seeing the icon and not being able to play is driving me crazy.
If there are good mods created, I'll definitely double dip on the PC version.

... and Chucklefish is in the house! An honor and a privilege, sir. Good luck with your upcoming launch, we're rooting for you to succeed.
Does florans here mean this game is implied to be in the same universe as Starbound?
If so, thats pretty cool. They were one of the most entertaining races by far.
Mouse or portability, mouse or portability, mouse or... Wait, does the Switch version have touchscreen controls?
Hmm I remember being really excited for touch controls for Advance Wars Dual strike but they didn't agree with me.
Saying that the option would be nice.
I'd say Switch version by the way.

No touchscreen support at the moment, apparently. It may have been tricky working out touchscreen interface that works consistently given the type of game this is... hopefully they work it out!
So excited for this it looks like a lot of care went into this plus it's seems like a great value content wise.
I'm ready for this. It'd be nice to see some reviews or a bit of gameplay but I already pre-ordered so whatever, I'm in this.
Of course. I just decided before I came back to the thread lol. Cross-progression makes it an easy decision!
So pumped for Friday! This game looks like an amazing start for what might be the best year in strategy games ever. Wargroove alongside the likes of FE 3 Houses, Total War 3 Kingdoms, Imperator Rome, Phoenix Point (from one of the original XCOM creator) and others is making 2019 look pretty special for the genre.
But still, Wargroove looks superb and seems like a great purchase by having loads of content for only 20 bucks.

I'm really sorry if this has already been said, but as a fan of Fire Emblem (mostly Fates) and having never played Advance Wars, will this game appeal to me and is it fundamentally different from FE? I've been really excited by everything I've seen but I don't want it to not live up to my preconceived notions.

Hnnng, I forgot Fire Emblem Three Houses is coming out this year as well. Having both that and Wargroove (an Advance Wars spiritual successor) so close together is amazing.
And yeah, the 20 buck price point seems like amazingly good value for all the content they packed in, I'm glad they stuck with it.
Mmmmm... cherrystones. =9
The Advance Wars style leans more towards the pure turn-based strategy side of things, Fire Emblem leans more towards the SRPG hybrid style with level ups and what not. Give it a chance!
