Advance Wars: Dual Strike

About

Advance Wars: Dual Strike is a turn-based strategy game where you command troops across grid-based maps using a mix of land, air, and naval units. Players take turns moving units, attacking, and managing resources to cripple enemy bases or achieve objectives. The Nintendo DS and Wii U version adds touch controls for easier unit placement and map navigation. Missions range from straightforward assaults to complex operations requiring supply management and terrain manipulation. The story follows the Allied Nations as they face a resurgent Black Hole Army led by a new commander seeking immortality by draining Omega Land’s energy. Former Black Hole officers join the fight, adding layers to the conflict. Dual Strike expands on earlier entries with improved unit variety and map design. Players praise its strategic depth and accessibility, with many highlighting the polished multiplayer modes that let up to eight players battle locally or online. The game’s blend of planning and quick tactical decisions keeps matches tense and replayable.

Storyline

On the heels of its last defeat, the nefarious Black Hole Army has fallen under the control of a deadly new commanding officer. He has sent its new COs to attack the nations of Wars World once again, and it’s up to the allied armies of Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet and Green Earth to put an end to Black Hole once and for all.
