FowardWarfare is our recreation of the game called Advance Wars. It’s a series of turn-based strategy games developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo.
The game was first released for the Game Boy Advance and features tactical battles between armies on a grid-based map. It offers challenging gameplay where players command various military units such as infantry, tanks, aircraft, and ships, each with unique abilities and characteristics.
The objective of our game is to defeat the enemy army, capture bases and control facilities to obtain coins and additional units. After moving a unit depending of your surroundings you can either capture nearby facilities or attack nearby enemy units.
The different types of facilities that exist are:
- Bases - your weak point, the facility you have to capture in order to win if it belongs to the enemy. It takes two consecutive turns to capture a base.
- Factories - where you can buy Ground Units
- Airports - where you can buy Air Units
- Ports - where you can buy Sea Units
- Oil Pumps - gives you 10 coins per round.
