About this product

Product Information

Nintendo's turn-based military strategy series continues with Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. As the ominous subtitle suggests, the game takes place on a ravaged Earth with civilization teetering on the brink of despair. Meteorites have all but wiped out modern-day conveniences and amenities, with the tattered remnants of two former superpowers vying for control. One vows to protect Earth's survivors, while the other intends on finishing them off. In addition to a bleaker setting filled with sepia toned cut-scenes, Days of Ruin offers four-player online support via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Solo commanders can embark on a story-driven campaign spanning 26 missions, gradually unlocking additional training missions as well as map editor for custom scenarios.

Peak of turn-based military unit combat design
I'm a professional game designer, and this series of games is just beautifully designed, perhaps the peak of turn-based combat with its own fantasy story but a great tie-in to real world military units, roughly from WW2 to the 1960's. The opponent AI is best of class in this particular final version "Days of Ruin", the enemies are much more challenging than in previous versions.

The worst in the series
They took away all the charm and fun from Advance Wars in this one. They even made the game mechanics slightly worse. Decent storyline.
