I think thats also known as a genre
- boxed 3y agoA genre containing only one game series from one company? :P
- smolder 3y agoThere are probably 100s of this style of game... and from many companies. I'm not exaggerating. Many before "advance wars", too.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoThe earliest one I've played was Operation Combat on the Amiga in 1991. https://youtu.be/uC845vxdyuY https://youtu.be/uC845vxdyuY
- smolder 3y agoHadn't heard of it --cool. Along the same lines, Eastern Front[0] was a turn based tactical game about 10 years earlier. I played it in the early 90s on an Atari. The OPs game and advance wars have much more in common, but certainly the derivation goes back a long way. Later on, Japan had a lot of these turn based tacticals that didn't make it to western markets. (Super Robot Wars is a series that had some titles sold in English but not most.)

- boxed 3y agoIf there are so many, can you show one example at least?

- tmountain 3y agoYeah, it’s really common for indie games to be derivative of big name games. Examples: Wargroove (advanced wars) Stardew Valley (harvest moon) Etc. Wargroove isn’t really even “indie” as Chucklefish is a very established studio. So, yeah… this is normal and not worthy of criticism.
