Wargroove

About

You lead an army and a commander in this turn-based strategy game where every move counts. Take control of units on a grid-based map, planning attacks and defenses across varied terrain. The rules are straightforward but the strategies deepen quickly, balancing resource management with tactical positioning. Play solo against AI or team up with others in co-op or competitive modes. Victory comes from adapting to each opponent's playstyle and outthinking their next move. The game channels the spirit of classic 2000s handheld tactics titles while updating the formula for modern systems. Pixel art gives it a crisp retro look that pops on both Switch and PC. Online multiplayer remains smooth despite its 2019 release, and a modding community keeps the content fresh. With 85% critic approval and over 100 hours of gameplay reported by some players, it appeals to fans of deep but approachable strategy. The Switch port especially shines, letting you pause battles anytime.

Storyline

Wargroove is a modern take on the simple yet deep turn-based tactical gameplay popularised in the 2000s by handheld games such as Advance Wars. As big fans of those games we were disappointed to find that nothing in this genre was available on current generation platforms and set out to fill the gap ourselves. Wargroove aims to recreate the charm and accessibility of the titles that inspired it whilst bringing modern technology into the formula. This modern focus allows for higher resolution pixel art, robust online play and deep modding capability, ultimately creating the most complete experience for Advance Wars and TBS fans.
