*******THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE RE-BOOT CAMP REMAKE, I WILL REMOVE THIS LOG AND REPLACE IT WITH THE SWITCH VERSION ONCE I'VE PLAYED AW2*******

Advance Wars is a testament to how wonderful gameplay can overcome any shortcoming in my estimation. A shallow narrative, repetitious art direction - none of it matters. The perfect balance between mechanical depth and chess-like clarity makes each battle a tense puzzle. I was enraptured simply by the act of doing, and the sense that my strategic acumen grew with each subsequent match. So excited to see these mechanical tenets applied to a much more robust experience in AW2.
