Wargroove Free Download Unfitgirl Someone at Chucklefish clearly got tired of waiting for Nintendo to bring back Advance Wars, because Wargroove’s turn-based tactics combat is as close to a modern, fantasy-themed revival as you’ll find. But this isn’t a game that relies only on its gorgeous pixel-art nostalgia to win your love: Wargroove is a challenging and extremely fun tactics game, with great multiplayer options and a level editor strong enough to make an entire tactics game of your own. Instead of controlling a party of bespoke heroes like in a Fire Emblem game, Wargroove gives you a unique commander and has you summon waves of disposable units mid-battle. Obviously you’ll still want to play smart and keep your troops alive, but removing that fear of losing someone with a name and a face to perma-death or having to worry about getting your favorite characters kills to level them up makes for a lighter and snappier tactical flavor. Every unit type feels useful in one situation or another, with their utility depending heavily on the layout of the map and the enemies in front of you. Wargroove’s four factions are visually distinct in cool ways, but they all have access to the same troops – the exception being commanders, who each have a unique ability called a Groove. The basic units have others they’re weak and strong against, and it’s a satisfyingly tricky task to successfully adapt to what your opponent is doing. If a map is spread out, I would usually invest in faster units like Cavalry to cover more ground. Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

But that comes with the risk that the enemy could counter with relatively cheap Pikemen. If they were buying lots of air units, I could try to counter with Shamans (one of my favorites thanks to their ability to heal) or Ballistas to shoot them down. I also love that each unit has a flavorful condition for dealing critical hits that’s determined by positioning, not luck, making movement more than just marching forward. For example, Pikeman crit when standing next to each other, while the adorable Battlepups have to surround an enemy as a pack. The battle animations for all of these units are super cool, too – direct successors to those in Advance Wars – with lots of little details depending on the terrain or the combatants (like the doggos “running away” instead of dying, thank goodness). They do get old eventually, though – and frustratingly, you have to hold the button to skip them for about half the length of the animation itself. I ended up turning them off entirely to avoid that frustration, but I wish there was an inbetween option just to speed them up. Wargroove’s dozen-plus-hour campaign is expansive and a lot of fun, but has some problems with overly long missions that can sometimes take an hour or more to beat. Not every mission is that long, but the ones that are definitely drag when they can feel won or lost long before they end. It wouldn’t be nearly as big of an issue if you could save mid-mission (you can quit and pick back up where you were later.

but not create saves to load after a loss, presumably to prevent save-scumming) as losing toward the end of an hour-long match is far more frustrating than it is challenging. Halfway through playing WarGroove, which is secretly a pretty odd game, a thought occurred to me which turned out, the more I considered it, to be a pretty odd thought. What if this game isn’t made by Chucklefish as the title screen suggests, the thought began. What if it isn’t a forensic attempt at reconstructing an Intelligent Systems turn-based tactics game? What if it actually is an Intelligent Systems game, a new one, and this whole Chucklefish smokescreen is some grand social experiment, like that psych study that pretended to be measuring the efficacy of electric shocks on memory or ESP ability or whatever, but was really exploring people’s willingness to administer electric shocks to strangers in the first place This thought bedded in and refused to go away. What I think I was really pondering, I guess, is the fact that I had approached WarGroove knowing it was a copy of something beloved, and that sense of it being a copy may have been dulling my enjoyment somewhat.  Or was it? WarGroove is a careful reworking of games like Advance Wars and Fire Emblem. It takes the medieval fantasy of Fire Emblem, for example, but then its campaign flows more like Advance Wars, with little of Fire Emblem’s cross-mission complexity. It’s a very close study: the cheery tiled maps look almost identical to those of Intelligent Systems’ games.Battle Brothers

while unit selection, movement, attack animations and all that jazz are very similar too. It’s tempting while playing to work out which of WarGroove’s units match up with which of Advance Wars’ or Fire Emblems, but more importantly the action feels the same because the underlying principles are the same: capture towns to earn cash that allows you to mint new units from special buildings on the map, work out which units are strong against which other units and try to avoid overextending yourself. CO powers from Advance Wars become the titular WarGrooves here – each commander has a special ability that is charged up through play and will allow you to do something cool like heal everyone within a certain radius or pull friendly skeleton troops out of the earth to fight alongside you.and the battles unfold in a lovely corrugated manner as you press forward and then pause and then press forward again, getting the most out of different terrains like forests and mountains, pushing back fog of war on the maps that have it and, if you are really on top of things, placing units in the precise configurations that allow them to score critical hits. Remarkably, WarGroove does not feel like a clone in the wretched Ninja Fishing sense of the term. It’s not trying to pass itself off as an original, because it requires knowledge of the original in order for you to see the appeal in the first place. It’s clearly made by people who love Intelligent Systems’ tactical games – who doesn’t love them?

Dynamic Gameplay!

And wishes there were more of them. I suspect a bunch of people at Chucklefish simply got tired of waiting for a new Advance Wars – who isn’t tired of waiting? – and decided to make it themselves. Intelligent Systems has always been known for its strategy game IP, with Fire Emblem naturally being the most popular, but that esteemed series might never have made it West were it not for the more colourful and militaristic antics of the Advance Wars franchise. Unfortunately – despite its similarities to Fire Emblem and its high critical acclaim – Advance Wars never quite hit the same levels of popularity as its sibling and hasn’t received a new release since Days of Ruin on the DS, way back in 2008. In the void left behind, the responsibility of carrying on the series’ legacy has been left up to the fans, which is what brings us to the current eShop launch of Wargroove. As a spiritual successor to Nintendo’s popular series, Wargroove manages to satisfy in nearly every conceivable way, offering a diverse helping of high-quality single and multiplayer content that’s sure to keep fans entertained for dozens of hours. Wargroove begins in the land of Aurania, where the peaceful Cherrystone Kingdom must always be on guard against the frozen, undead hordes of the Felheim Legion in the west. The story mostly follows Mercia, a princess-turned-queen who has the responsibility of the throne suddenly thrust upon her when an agent of Felheim assassinates her father King Mercival and instigates a fully-fledged invasion.The Uncertain Light At The End

Although it isn’t exactly a groundbreaking story, it’s absolutely packed with a diverse and colourful cast of memorable characters from a handful of different factions that manage to keep each mission engaging, even beyond the stellar gameplay. These characters all have surprisingly deep backstories (accessible through a handy Codex, which is fleshed out as you play) which strike a nice balance between humour and more serious themes. Our favourite character is a Felheim commander introduced early on named Ragna; an extremely angry (and equally incompetent) zombie woman stitched together from pieces of great military leaders who is prone to temper tantrums when the Cherrystone army easily beats her. Characters like Ragna keep things interesting and stop the story from going stale, but we appreciate the effort the developers have placed in creating a world with such a rich and fleshed-out history; it’s tantalisingly easy to see how many future games could be set in this world. Naturally, you’ll be spending the bulk of your time examining grid-like maps from a top-down perspective, painstakingly moving units around in a delicate dance for victory. Battles unfold in a turn-based manner, with the goal usually being to either seize the enemy stronghold or defeat the enemy commander, and play a bit like a much more in-depth version of Chess. There are dozens of different unit types that both teams can use, and they all have specific functions that make them extra effective against certain units and terribly weak against others. For example, a Knight can travel six spaces and hits harder than a typical swordsman, but is incapable of crossing mountain ranges and can’t capture villages or barracks.

Organising a well-balanced team and distributing those units wisely across the field is utterly integral to your success; mistakes are usually not crippling, but they are costly, and too many ill-placed units or poorly thought out offensive runs can lead to a defeat all too quickly. Another neat touch is that every unit has its own unique strength which allows it – under the right conditions – to inflict additional ‘critical’ damage on the enemy. For example, standard foot soldiers gain a boost when they’re fighting next to their commander, while archers perform critical hits if they attack without moving in the same turn. Knights, on the other hand, only enable their ‘critical’ when they’ve moved a certain number of squares before attacking, while spearmen are more powerful when fighting in pairs. Because each unit’s ‘crit’ is accessed in a different way, it makes things even more tactical. Add in commanders – your most adept units which have access to the titular ‘Groove’ powers that offer both offensive and defensive benefits – and things become even more interesting; these units are capable of taking down several ‘standard’ units on their own, but should they fall in battle, the game is over. When war breaks out in the Kingdom of Cherrystone, the young Queen Mercia must flee her home. Pursued by her foes, the only way to save her kingdom is to travel to new lands in search of allies. But who will she meet along the way, and what sinister challenges will she face.

Though the goal is usually to defeat a certain enemy unit or location, a secondary goal that’s just as important lies in how many villages your team can capture along the way. Every map is scattered with a collection of neutral villages; once aligned with a team, these villages then generate a set amount of gold for the war effort which is spent on recruiting new units at an allied barracks. The more villages you take over, the more options you have to bring units onto the field in higher quality or quantity, and a good strategy for taking down an opponent can be found in crippling their income sources to effectively ‘starve them out’. A big part of what makes Wargroove so enjoyable is how there are different ‘levels’ to every battle that ensure you make every decision with the whole fight in mind. When a battle starts, do you recruit a bunch of cheap units that can fan out and take villages faster, or do you instead invest in just a few powerful units and try to rush the enemy before they get too entrenched? Once a few rounds have passed and each team has amassed its own collection of units and villages, it’s wise to shift focus to where you want to apply pressure and focus your resources. More diverse units start appearing on the field, so team composition becomes increasingly more important, along with thinking about the kind of tasks you want each unit to carry out. Through all this, there are no right or wrong answers – multiple strategies could all feasibly carry you to victory – and watching your gambles play out turn by turn, adapting as you go, ensures that you remain constantly engrossed.

Battles can take anywhere from twenty minutes to over an hour (don’t worry, you can save and quit at any time), but it’s remarkable how easily the time seems to slide away when you get in the zone. For those of you that manage to beat the campaign, there’s no shortage of other content on offer to keep you coming back, all of it offering up some variation on the core strategy gameplay. For example, as you progress the main story and encounter new commanders, new levels are unlocked in an Arcade Mode in which you run a gauntlet of five battles on random maps to see how far you can get. Not only does this allow you to better familiarise yourself with each commander’s unique skillset, but successfully completing the run unlocks extra goodies like new music tracks, concept art, and lore entries. Similarly, Puzzle mode tasks you with ‘solving’ levels by laying out specific scenarios and asking the player to achieve victory in one turn. This tests your knowledge of unit strengths and weaknesses, as well as how good you are at manoeuvring different terrain types and weather effects. For the more creative ones out there, Wargroove also contains an amazingly extensive level editor that allows players to create their own maps and even their own campaigns, complete with cutscenes. The level building tools are a little bit hokey to begin with (and sadly don’t feature touch screen support), but are simple enough to master, allowing players a surprisingly high amount of creative control; it wouldn’t be a shock to learn that the developers used a version of these tools themselves when building the game. You can control placement of virtually any character or tile type in the game, arrange a soundtrack from unlocked music, set special rules for when victory is triggered, and so much more; the developers are functionally handing over the keys and challenging you to make a better game than they could.
