Yes Ambition of the Slimes is that good.
And it's only 5 bucks for 40-50 hours of content, I don't think it's really necessary to wait an eShop sale !
Bugger, I forgot the aussie store updates at 1am friday during daylight savings. 50 mins to go.
Sorry to disappoint, but there's still a ways to go yet! just confirming in here that the game will unlock at 12pm GMT tomorrow.
Hi can you confirm if this is the case across all platforms? Cannot wait to play either way but if it's 12pm GMT I can take my switch to work.
Great thanks for the quick response and all the best for the launch!
Set up turn limits. In AW whomever had the most cities at the end of the turn limit won.
GameXplain got a review up yesterday and I feel like Steve would've made mention with any system hiccups or performance issues if there were any, so take that for what it's worth I suppose.
I love the fact Chucklefish are supporting play anywhere.
Being able to have a licence for a game you have bought on another platform is ace and not having to buy something twice is something I wish more devs/pubs would follow.
👏 Chucklefish!

I pre-ordered it on switch but, with a price like that, i wanted to gift it on steam for a friend's anniversary. But i see there's no buying option yet, it's a bug? I can't recall from memory where i could not pre-order a game on steam.
How long does it take, before somebody recreates all of the Advance Wars campaigns and maps?
I give it a week for the War Room maps. A couple months for the campaigns lol
I played the campaign entirely on the Switch, but have also spent significant amounts of time with the game on Xbox and PC. It works great across the board.
These types of games were my jam many years ago. I've read/watched nothing about this game.
Watching that GameXplain review, though...man...it got me super hype.
Then I read through the OT.
PRE-PURCHASED.

Be honest, you lucked out getting this one when no one else wanted it or was too busy.... :D Plus, the opening to the review made in cinematic editor was awesome! Great job fellas.
I did! Derrick was busy with KH3 or else he would've taken it. I think it worked out for the best though since he isn't big on the customization stuff and I am. The intro was actually the first thing I did when I got my Switch copy!
Smash was likely going to be enough to finally subscribe to Nintendo's online service...but Wargroove and Dragon Marked for Death are going to push me over the top. Really excited for some solid multiplayer action.

Ah, another soul saved. Welcome aboard the hype train, there's room for everybody!
Ironically, this is the first time I'm actually going to use NSO despite buying in at launch. What a waste of money! Ah well, Wargroove is worth it.
Dragon Marked for Death also looks really cool, but I'll probably wait for the physical copy as I'm not a fan of the game being split in two.
That's some really killer art! Sami is love.
A little over half a day to go 🎶🎵🎶🎵
Better late than never at least, right, hehe? I barely used my PS+ sub for anything besides the "free" games every month, which probably is what led to me putting off getting Nintendo online, even though it's relatively inexpensive. Great job with the OT, by the way - definitely helped make me even more excited for Wargroove's release than I already was!
I definitely have mixed feelings about Dragon Marked for Death being split in half. I suppose it makes it more accessible at half price, but it does seem a bizarre choice to make, just to wall of character classes and with no other real differences (as far as I'm aware). I was thinking about waiting for the physical copy, too, but since the digital release is so much earlier, I just went for it. I really miss beat em up/co-op type of games, and this looks like it'll scratch that itch quite nicely!
That seems to be the appeal. The main differentiation is the commanders and their titular "grooves."
Critical hits is also a pretty big change. Othee than that it's smaller tweaks to the formula.
OP

Yeah, same. PS Plus is essentially just a free games provider for me, as what little actual online gaming I do is mostly done on PC.
And thanks! Glad to do my part to help raise awareness. It's Advance Wars, in 2019. I never thought I'd see the day!
Yes, thats pretty much what they were going for. Apart from minor adjustments to the formula (as SpottieO mentioned, critical hits, and playable COs) its basically classic Advance Wars (with all the positives and negatives that entails) for modern platforms.
That's why the chances of getting a full conversion of the classic AW games in Wargroove is so high! They're so similar mechanically.
Only 30m to go! Going to be a sleepy day tomorrow at work :|
12pm as in noon! - it's actually 12 hours and 20 mins from now. Get some sleep, you won't miss it!
There are some pretty significant changes, the commanders being represented on the battlefield is a big one, but also the groove abilities, the critical attack passives for different unit types, and stuff like captures/building units taking place beside the building instead of on top of the building which prevents placing units on top of structures to hold them and similar smaller mechanical changes. Plus the obvious aesthetic/setting differences.

Hey Supernorn! So, to be clear, this unlocks on the US eShop at the same time the Steam version goes live?

Haven't seen anybody else post it here yet, so here goes. Great feature piece by Nintendo Life, written after a visit to Chucklefish's London offices:
