Game Overview

Advance Wars came out on the Game Boy Advance in 2001, developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. It was one of those games that felt perfectly suited to the handheld, offering deep strategy in short bursts, a real standout during a time when portable gaming was really hitting its stride with more complex titles.

You take command of an army, moving infantry, tanks, and aircraft across grid-based maps to defeat the opposing force. The main goal is to either capture the enemy's headquarters or destroy all their units. Key mechanics include capturing cities to fund your army's production and utilizing your Commanding Officer's special power, which can provide a significant turn advantage. The pacing is deliberate, demanding careful planning with each move, and the difficulty can be quite punishing if you rush in. It feels incredibly satisfying to outthink your opponent and execute a winning strategy.
