  I loved Advance Wars and was hoping this would tide me over, unfortunately I was wrong. While similar in many ways there are a number of shortcomings that push me away from this game every time I try and get into it. As others have mentioned the AI is unbalanced or at least appears that way. Get into a 1v1 infantry skirmish where neither commander is an infrantry specialist and both units are on the same tile type, guess what the AI will often win those regardless of who attacks first. The controls feel like they are designed for a tablet/touchscreen and it becomes cumbersome. Constant screen dragging/finessing required. The hero unit/insta-lose mechanic is a major handicap when playing. A number of the campaign maps are heavily tilted in favor of the CPU and if you don't blitz them you are in for frustration. All in all the game needs refinement or at least more customization to make non-campaign play fun.

  I just purchased the game and it seems to be as easy to get into, and as entertaining as the previous first entry of the franchise. I like the fact that the 3d environment allows a lot of camera control allowing for great combat views. I read in the comments that some players couldn't get the game to start up. i had a similar issue with Bonecraft when the game or STEAN acted as if /i had pre purchased the game and it wasn't still available. Basically, STEAM showed a message saying that the game content was still locked even though the release date had already passed. I took a chance and waited a couple of days, and it eventually unlocked. Maybe the affected players have the same problem. In any case, I'm looking forward to the new Tiny Metal scenarios.

  Huge improvement over the first game. Has a lot of new mechanics and units that bring it more closely in line with Advance Wars including co powers / abilities, merging units for combined HP, a skirmish's and map packs, etc. Half the price of the first game and significantly more content.

  Absolutely amazing game. Just got it recently as I have been looking for the longest time for a true spiritual successor to Advance Wars. I haven't played the first one, because after much research on it before purchase, it seemed to have lacked to many elements from the Advance Wars. I have also played Wargroove, but the fantasy setting wasn't my cup of tea since I wanted tanks, CoPowers, and explosions. This is absolutely bar none the closest that you will find on the market today as a spiritual successor to Advance Wars. Any true fan of the series needs to buy this game and play it now, you won't regret it. In Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble, they seemed to take a step back and incorporate many more aspects of Advance Wars than the first game. That combined with an even more set of advanced tactics, leads to it feeling like a step forward in the series and like something that would have done Advance Wars proud.

  War... War never changes... Well whoever said that lied as it can definitely change. This is TINY METAL: FULL METAL RUMBLE, the Nintendo Wars-like that I've been waiting for since the 10th anniversary of Advance Wars: Days of Ruin's release. TL;DR of my review: YES GET IT! This is the closest thing to Advance Wars we'll get until Intelligent Systems decides to hold off the Framblam waifubait for just one second. Now, onto the main review. Why this? Why not play Wargroove or the few other Wars-likes that are out there? Simply put, TM:FMR takes a lot of what's good about Wars and makes it its own by building on top of it. It also doesn't try to change up the style from pseudo-realistic to fantasy. Don't think this is just a recreation or a tribute, though; AREA 35 have made changes and improvements that are all their own. Focus Fire, reworked/combined units, new units in general, and a whole host of other things makes this easy to drop into as a Wars veteran but different enough that you know it's not. But Random, isn't FMR a sequel? Should I go play the first game? Honestly, I didn't even finish the first game. I don't remember what mission I got to in the campaign, but the first game just had too many creature comforts missing and straight up rough edges that I ended up dropping it. I may go back into it just to learn what happened, but as far as I can tell the original's storyline isn't necessary to understand FMR's storyline. If the original TINY METAL was a preview for what a new turn based strategy could be, then FULL METAL RUMBLE is that game realized. The amount of fine detailing they have done in FMR over the original really makes it feel whole. I could tell even when I was playing their PAX East and E3 demo builds that FMR was already going to scratch that TBS itch for me in ways that the original TM did not. Mechanically, FMR is a more competent game than the original. Unit merging has been implemented, finally making the battlefield not a junkyard full of mostly destroyed units I've pulled back that are queuing to get repaired. Speaking of that, unit supplies are in so supply line management is now a key part of your strategy. The AI has definitely taken a step up too. Still has some weird quirks, but it actually leverages the Focus Fire function like you expect it to instead of always running its units up to you one at a time. The units I've seen so far all have their niche and don't feel like they're overlapping each other. Scoring doesn't feel completely arbitrary compared to the first game as it now better considers turns taken, units built/lost, and units damaged/destroyed. CO abilities are also here after being absent in the first game, which is a welcome surprise. Overall, it just feels satisfying and very fun to play. One thing I particularly enjoy are the 3 extra challenges you get with a mission. They're completely optional, but they do add a pseudo-difficulty beyond just going from Normal to Hard. Some of the challenges include not healing, only building riflemen, and not calling in hero units. I've been aiming to one-run each mission whenever possible and I have had to do a fair number of restarts to get that. Another enjoyable detail is the overworld map for the campaign. It's free roam so you can explore and find collectibles around the map. Doesn't take too long to get them and to see the whole map but the detailing is appreciated. So what's the catch to all of that TBS goodness? Well, if you enjoyed naval combat in Wars like me, then we still don't have ships and subs and everything in between to play with. Otherwise, not much else from what I've seen so far. It's not perfect, nor is it fundamentally lacking like the first game. Polish? Sure, it could use more. There are little typos here and there and I've seen a few bugs being reported on their Discord server. There is a distinct mic quality difference between characters in the English voiceovers that may irk some people. But for the price and for this under served and under represented genre? Considering it's only $15 instead of the $25 of the original, it's well worth it. Go buy it already. (EDIT 7/25/19) I see that a few other reviews have mentioned controls. I should disclose that I play this with a Switch Pro Controller plugged in over USB. Yes, the controls cannot be rebound in game and they seem to only show keyboard prompts, but my Wars muscle memory kicked in immediately and I never had any issues with it. The only new thing I had to learn was right stick press to reset the camera. Everything else was the same; standard A/B - D-Pad controls, L/R to go between units with available move actions, and + to open the menu. Speaking of the menu, I also would like to note that I have never used the "Skip and build nothing" option on Factories/Airports. Again, this is my Wars muscle memory speaking but I just open up the menu and end the turn that way if I don't want to build anything. I can't speak from my own experience but I did see that the developers mentioning something about the publisher requiring the button to work, or possibly not work, in the way other people have been encountering it. Be aware of that. ~~~~ As a fun little aside, I mentioned above that I played their demos at PAX East and E3. They actually did swag giveaways at both events, and the top prize was a cool jacket with their branding on it. You can see what it looks like if you look at their Twitter page. On the last day of E3, I ended up chatting with them and they mentioned that someone had won that day's jacket. As I was exiting the convention hall at the end of the day, there it was. Lo and behold, the winner of that day's jacket. I ended up asking her if she was today's winner and she straight up just gave it to me. Made a memorable first E3 even more.

  This game is amazing. The battle scenes are smooth, quick and snappy; the mechanics retains the Advance Wars formula with some neat additions like focus fire; it's as challenging as Advance Wars; it's 3D!; lastly, this game is cheaper than the prequel! Thank you Area 34? Area 35? Area 51?! lol Either way, thanks for creating and bringing a game like this to fill up the Advance Wars nostalgia. =))

  **UPDATE 27/07/2019 - Additions will be added with an asterisk and date** Don't let the downvote fool you. I'm going to continue playing this game and my opinion will likely change further down the line but there are a couple of issues that could be a deal breaker for other Advance Wars fans. Lets start off with the good: -Riflemen (Infantry) as far as I can tell remain useful throughout the match as they have a high capture rate and are extremely cheap *(25/07/2019) [strike] highest capture rate of all other infantry units.(There are two other infantry units that I haven't used yet, Spec-Ops and Sniper.[/strike] My Metalpedia hasn't gotten into them yet but I'll get into that later.) -Lancers (Mechs) are not overpowered compared to regular Infantry. They deal reduced damage to other Infantry units while maintaining their powerful first strike against vehicles and deal decent damage against helicopters. Lancers have an increased capture time due to having fewer people in a unit. -*(25/07/2019) Spec Ops (also Mechs) are pretty much the other half to create Mechanized if you combine them Lancers. Spec Ops are extremely effective to other infantry units while very weak to just about all vehicles. They have the same capture time as Riflemen with increased movement however the true balancing factor comes from their cost being eight times that of their more conventional counterparts. To put it in perspective, a Metal is cheaper than these guys. -*(25/07/2019) Snipers function very similarly as the Anti- Tank unit did in Days of Ruin, meaning a direct/ indirect fire unit. Snipers can fire after moving, have a higher vision range than other infantry units, and have a surprisingly high defense against them as well. Do NOT attack these guys with any infantry unit, they will be decimated by the counter-attack. That said, Snipers have no defense against vehicles, they literally cannot fight back except against Gunships for some reason. Snipers have the longest capture time with only two personnel in each unit. -Scouts (as themselves) are a surprisingly useful combat unit now. Infantry units just seem to melt under them. -Archelon (APC) are armed now. While the gun doesn't seem to do much, with one exception, it is nice that my APC wall can defend itself somewhat. That said, the Archelon is surprisingly effective against Gunships. Archelons do not resupply all units around them at the beginning of a day and have to be told to resupply only the [strike] land [/strike] unit in front of it. This reduces some camping cheese.[strike] Archelons are not able to resupply air units.[/strike] -Fighters (as themselves) can now attack all units though not very effectively. We're talking dealing 2% damage to Riflemen on a road here. Still, it's nice to have the option however this will go over to one of the bad points later. -SupplyPlanes (no unit in AW) pretty do as their name suggests; they supply planes... [strike]well air units.[/strike] Think a flying Archelon that can't transport units (this will come up in the bad as well.) *(25/07/2019) SupplyPlanes can supply all units, thank you comments. -Lock-on/ Focus fire is a fantastic addition that lets you punish your foe after they let their units get surrounded. And if said unit has the poor grace to survive the onslaught, they can only target the last unit that struck them. -Assault is another great command that that lets you force a unit off a tile the one behind it (relative to the attacker) if its able to move there. However, the attacking unit has to endure their counter-attack first before the assault begins. The bad in no particular order: -Movement types seem overly simplified. There is no difference between a Scouts movement and a Metals (Tank), only that one can move further. -No river crossings for infantry units... well, no rivers at all. -Radars (and Phase Arrays) are seemingly useless. In theory, they can detect units outside of your sight range, however, its not clear if the Radars see in a line, cone, or radius or if terrain can block it. Just give us a sort of ranging overlay when we select those units, please. -Air unit selection has been severely reduced. No more T. Copters, Bombers, Seaplanes, etc. Maybe this is why the Fighter can attack everything now? -No navy what so ever. Really, nearly a third of possible units and strategy is just straight up missing. -Only one transport unit. No more risky deep inserts with T. Copters and no island hopping maps that would require landers. -The unit voice acting is mostly just bad, the Scout being a prime example. It sounds like she's trying to yell while maintaining an inside voice so she doesn't wake up her folks or something. The Radar should also be mentioned for having the most nonsensical lines as she is apparently a pacifist that joined an ARMED and ACTIVE military force. It's also very odd to hear a Rifleman talk about freeing his country or fighting for his king when he works for a sort of independent PMC. This goes into my next point. -No unit variation. There are at least four or five playable factions in the game and every single one of their units looks the same. Same Riflemen, same Metals, same mecha. I'm sure the King is proud that his men are pulling double duty to work for some Not- Japanese as well. -I'm not sure if its because the main AI force you fight in the campaign has an extremely overpowered passive ability (they do, more on that in a bit) or if it's just straight up cheating but there have been points where I've had units attacked that there is no way it should have been able to see. Sometimes it'll just park next to a forest tile one of my units is hiding in and unload into them. They don't have another unit next to mine, they certainly don't have a Radar nearby, and the weird thing is, its not consistent. Sometimes they make a beeline to the hiding unit, sometimes they ignore it when they have the forces to deal with it. -Most COs have absolutely no downside. Only half of the playable COs have some sort of passive downside while the other half only have upsides. The only one I would call completely overpowered CO I can see is Dinoladn Soldier with an extra 2 vision for all units (does that nullify the need to be right next to a forest to see into it?), 15 extra fuel, and 5% increase to attack power. Wolfram, one of the first playable COs, only gets a plus 1 vision and movement to infantry... and no downside. -Mechanica seem to make other vehicle units superfluous. Yes, they are more expensive but you have a mech that pretty much covers whatever you need and with greater mobility (as in, they can cross hills and forests like infantry units) -The metalpedia is severely lacking in information that it provides on units. It doesn't give how far it can move, see, or what units its good against. It only states what a units movement type is (infantry, vehicle, mech, air) and a short lore blurb about it. It also doesn't tell you about units you haven't used yet in the campaign, hence why I can't talk about the two other infantry units and most of the mechs. -No map editor/ creator. While I can't say most of my own or friend made maps in AW were all that good, we still had countless hours of fun playing them. I fear that this game will have a much shorter lifespan without these tools. There are likely points that I missed and some that will crop up as I continue playing. I wouldn't classify this in the same camp as Advance Wars, it's more of an AW lite. Still, despite the down vote I'm giving, I'm going to continue playing. And if the above issues don't bother you, give the game a buy. But if you're looking for something a bit closer to the real thing à la AW: Days of Ruin, there is a better game for you out there on the storefront (tho it has its own issues as well.)

  FULL METAL RUMBLE takes the original TINY METAL and enhances it with new mechanics, more characters, better AI, new biomes for visual variety, multiplayer out of the box, and other features... and at a fraction of the price. Honestly, they're selling themselves short with this! To start, there's commander powers now. Each playable commander (11 in total) has their own power, which can be charged to 2 levels (Super Power and Ultra Power). All units also have an Ammunition stat, and vehicles have a Fuel stat. There's a new transport unit type that can carry infantry and re-supply other units with both Ammunition and Fuel. You can merge similar units for instant healing. There's Ambush, which inflicts damage on your units if you try to move them in a spot within the fog of war that is controlled by an enemy unit, which makes exploring the fog of war more dangerous. And, of course, there are new units, including the new Mecha unit type. The AI has also been improved. It now uses Focus Fire, prioritizes attacking your units vs. protecting its buildings better, and also uses commander powers. This makes the campaign and skirmishes a much more challenging experience, and there are still many, many campaign missions and skirmishes to do, all hand-crafted and unique. Should you still play the first game? Yes, because it's still a solid game that'll get you acquainted with the basics. And afterwards, you'll have a great sequel to look forward to with FULL METAL RUMBLE.

  I will start by stating I have only played the first few missions, but I can say that overall this is a solid attempt at a modern take on the Advanced Wars style of game. The units are all very well balanced and though out, the combat feels just right, and the graphics are on point for the game style. That said, the writing *is* a bit cheesy and the voice acting is on par with said cheesyness, but I kinda like it because of that fact. My one real gripe is that the AI can see through the fog of war. They ignore terrain blindness and always know where your units are regardless of how far away they may be which makes later levels a bit more difficult as you are basically playing against a stacked deck as it were, and the AI does get progressively more aggressive as well which is why as much as I want to recommend this game, I just can't until the AI gets fixed, makes later levels just battles of attrition.
