Advanced Wars 2 gets an emulated spot on every phone Ive had. Its a little turn-based strategy game, and is perfect for filling in 20 min to 2 hour attention gaps depending on map size.
There's also Fire Emblem, which people seem to regard well, and is a worse turn-based strategy game with, like, plot i guess, and no artillery or soviet parodies.
Depending on the game, you get archers instead of artillery and pretty girls on pegasus's instead of helicopters
Yee, It's a matter of taste largely. Although i think AW has overall better unit balance, and FE's lack of factories in most editions of the games changes the way maps are played.
Like, I dont really wanna explore Swordsman Thick Bricko's tragic backtory and help him find his lost throne, losing the mission when he dies. I wanna send Pvt 1st class Bridge Namer into this chokepoint, and then draft his brother next turn.
I like them both, a lot, lol.
I played one Fire Emblem game until they introduced the "6000 year old dragon who looks and acts like a child" character who wore a bikini
If I had to guess, it was Nowi in Awakening. They've had that problem since the beginning, but IIRC Awakening was the first time they paired it with an inappropriate costume.
Yea that's who I was think of, I fully stopped playing the game shortly after she was introduced, kinda soured me on the whole series
Advanced Wars is a blast, I'll try and download the second one!!
Advance Wars one is also a really good timekiller
