The critic has arrived! I write reviews for the games I play, the music I listen to, and the movies I watch. There are so many undiscovered treasures hidden away at Newgrounds, especially in the Audio Portal, and I will spend my time to go find them!

Battalion Games

Posted by luigi2191 Nov. 23, 2009 @ 1:56 AM EST

I have found and played the Battalion games on Newgrounds and found them very interesting to play. It is based on the game Advanced Wars which is a turn-based strategy game. Your objectives are usually to destroy the opponent or capture his HQ. You spend your turn building, moving, attacking, repairing, etc. The plot was simple and the characters were okay. I liked this game because it requires a certain amount of strategy to beat. It has all of the war-like features such as a variety of terrain and units to which each has a certain strength or weakness to it. What your strategy is will always depend on the map and the enemy so it is a good challenge to figure out the best one. One of the downsides to this game is the AI. The AI is pretty smart most of the time, but sometimes it makes some pretty dumb moves and it doesn't have the human like aggression that made it take advantage of the player. The music was pretty bland and very repetitive. Also, some of the features can only be played on Kongregate and I haven't the patience to try those out.
On the whole, this series is an great one and I suggest you take a look at it. The series is called Battalion and there are 3 games in the series so far. Skirmish (Experimental small game), Nemesis, and Ghosts. Thank you urbansquall for creating such cool games, can't wait for the next one to come out!
