days of ruin was its dying breath

After Reboot Camp it's deader than Elvis.

>>724371158
awbw keeps it eternally alive
>>
Yeah, NoA approached Wayforward with inheriting the IP but then Russia invaded Ukraine, the game got delayed, and then it bombed hard
>>
making a wargame series and then being unable to release entries because wars keep popping off IRL is some pants on head bad luck.
>>
>>724371158
Is Sturm supposed to be a full-fledged humanoid cyborg-robot or just a floating torso with a head?

Also wtf the capcha, how many years until we need a penis inspection peripheal to post?

>>724371158
100%ing a video game does not kill it you fucking RETARD
YOU BAG OF CHIPS DUDE

>>724371158
Advance wars 1 was the death rattle, everything afterwards was the franchise being lowered to its casket.
>>
>>724371556
wait, wayforward is in ukraine?

Since his name is Hell Bouzu in Japanese, he's probably just one of these. WayForWars gave him an arm though.
>>
>>724375176
No, they're American
They delayed the game because they didn't feel comfortable releasing a game themed after war right after Ukraine got invaded
No seriously THAT was their reason for the delay
>>
>>724377016
but there's always a war somewhere in the world
I was going to ask why they didn't delay the orignal games during the gulf wars but apparently the original game did get delayed for yurop and japan because it released in america on 10 sept 2001
seems like this series is just unlucky
>>
It's dead but there are plenty of clones.
>>
They should have made official beach art WITH pubes. Wayforward is based enough to do it
>>
>>724371158
Yes

Days of Ruin/Dark Conflict was a massive flop and killed the series. Reboot Camp flopped as well. Honestly there really isn't a place for turn based strategy games nowadays. Fire Emblem has coasted by almost entirely because of waifufags and would probably be in the same boat if they didn't have that.

The piece of shit game doesn't even let you save your match.
I turn off the switch, and then come back to it later and the battle is gone.
This is a step BACKWARDS from what the original had.

>first game released right before 9/11
>AW1 didn't even get japanese release until a AW1+2 repackage deal, three years later
>in Japan the series trucked along with the "famicom wars" title, and due to the release tomfoolery Japanese players didn't know who these characters were
>tries to do a hail mary to try and appeal to more players by making the second DS entry more edgy
>no success, the series dies
>years later a remake is made, is about to release but ukraine war starts
>gets delayed and released to no fanfare
>no sales so series is probably deader than ever
It's a shame, since I like AW better than something like Fire Emblem, but it's understandably also harder to make more scenarios around AW's gameplay without drastically altering it, or adding more gimmicks.

>>724372160
I always figured he was the same kind of grey alien thing his AW2 soldiers are
>>
>>724375479
"bouzu" is just the word for buddhist monks or priests and is sometimes used as a familiar term for boys
>>
>>724384548
The question is why the fuck do devs and companies give a fuck so much about shit like that? Part of that is what also ruined Mega Man Battle Network 3 and a badass looking Flamman.EXE we could have had.
>>
>>724384629
IMO his soldiers are plain humans, they just wear overly-complex hazmat suits with gas masks, goggles and hair nets for some reason. Flak is supposed to have been an infantryman
>>
>>724371158
Knowing the series' luck, we're not getting a new game until around WW3.
>>
>>724385805
Given the series' luck, a new AW might as well be the sparking incident for WW3

Is chess dead?
