I was enraptured by the gameplay the whole way through the campaign, even if the storyline and the way it was told was more cutesy than interesting. There’s a good bit of variation throughout but I often felt like there wasn’t much of a logical progression in mechanics and scenarios past a certain point.

The visual style of the artwork is incredible as well, every pixel available is utilized to make the experience engrossing. The constant changes between the minimalist and beautiful world map to the close ups of the combat featuring detailed environments and unique unit sprites for each faction make the game visually interesting. The music is however pretty repetitive after a while, though there’s nothing wrong with the pieces themselves, there just could have been maybe variations on themes now and then.

The War Room mode also offers select challenges of varying nature, which is fun for those who want even more tactics. Once beating the game you can also purchase the Advance Campaign from the in-game shop and play a much more challenging version of the campaign mode, I tried it a bit but don’t think I’m at the level of skill it requires yet.
