Wargroove 2 is the sequel to the independent tactical strategy inspired by Advance Wars and the Fire Emblem series. Once again, the game was developed by the British studio Chucklefish, though this time they're joined by Robotality (Halfway, Pathway).
Plot
Three years have passed since the events ofWargroove, with peace prevailing in the land of Aurania. It turns out nothing lasts forever, though. The nation's commanders are forced to act once again once a certain faction discovers centuries-old forbidden technology and mysterious assaults start to occur at nighttime.
Mechanics
Wargroove 2 is a classic sequel, not making any drastic changes but rather expanding the previous game's formula. The gameplay is once again turn-based: we explore the map with our army, develop it and lead it into battles fought on separate stages. Battles can take place on land, at sea and in the air.
There are many different commanders to choose from, each representing different factions (including some entirely new ones, such as pirates) and having different specializations. Each commander has a special ability known as a Groove, which can be further enhanced by filling a special meter. Using Grooves at the right time is often key to victory, but we must also learn our units' strengths and weaknesses.
Game modes
Wargroove 2 consists of three campaigns, their stories intertwining until the game's finale. Competitive multiplayer (online or hot seat), co-op (originally introduced in the free Double Trouble expansion), the map and scenario editors (which have been further expanded) all make their return here as well. Created maps and scenarios can be shared with other players.
New to the sequel is the Conquest mode, based on roguelike games. It consists of fast-paced series of battles, with all gold, units and their health staying the same between each encounter.
Technical aspects
Visually, Wargroove 2 uses the same artstyle as its predecessor, still inspired by the Advance Wars series. The cartoonish 2D graphics thus haven't changed much.
