This game looks really good. Its a tough market to enter with Rogue Planet and Battle for Wesnoth but those are still a bit away. It seems to have plenty plus a map editor which looks really cool

[GaiaIllusion]

My first though is another game based on Advance Wars.
Right now I'm waiting for Rogue Planet to be released. However, this one looks rather tempting to buy. I might pick it up later.

Uniwar and Mecho Wars both disappointed me in terms of gameplay. I might just have high expectations.

EDIT: I'll have to wait for now, as this app's been set to only compatible with iPhone/iPod 2nd Gen.

Really what was disappointing about Uniwar? It's a very finely-tuned TBS game. RTS and TBS games have been my genres of choice for years and years, and Uniwar does it very, very well, especially with the online mode?

I will agree that Mecho Wars was a huge disappointment. Talk about a watered-down, barely-any-strategy, almost non-strategy, TBS game. It's about as simplified as a strategy game can get while still being called a strategy game. It's almost painful to play.


Anyway, to the developer of this game: Do you plan to add an online mode? That's probably the only reason I'd get it and the only reason Uniwar has had the massive success that it has had.

I have the plan and hooks to make it multi-player but that will take a good amount of time to get right. I didn't want the rest of the game to sit there for several months while I worked out the kinks of MP which is why you see the release. I realize Uniwar has multiplayer to stand on, but to me that is really a completely different game. In short, yes, I want War 3100 and my future games to have multiplayer mode in them.

It's rather hard to describe. I've played TBS and RTS for a long, long time and own the Advance Wars series of games for GBA and Nintendo DS. I also played it online for a long while.
Mecho Wars is easy to explain, as I found that there wasn't enough strategy with the rock-paper-scissors style fighting.
Uniwar, I played when it was first released, and it's currently not on my iPod. I found it a bit slow-paced, with a lack of... challenge? I dunno, something ticked when I played it. I'll probably reinstall it and play a bit again to see if I can change my mind.
