Summary
Wargroove is a game that is heavily inspired by the Advance War games, For this, we get a solid game that is full of charm, wit and clever level designs. The cast of characters is as lovable as they are charming and full of wit. Just watching the game feels you with joy. It took me a while to get to grips with the many mechanics on offer but eventually it all snapped into place and man what a ride, It wasn’t all smooth sailing with difficulty spikes and slow pace but overall it is a game that will suck hours upon hours from you. Oh and leaver you satisfied.
