War Theatre made me initially hesitant but once I got to grips with its challenging and rewarding gameplay, I was hooked.
In the game you’ll take control of one of seven heroes, each of whom controls an army of units that are the same across the board...
There are plenty of rough edges that prevent War Theatre from being a true classic of the genre, but I had a lot of fun playing it and it’s definitely a significant step up for developer Arcade Distillery.
Excellent turn-based strategy game, highly reminiscent to Advance Wars. Beautiful, highly detailed artwork that can sometimes be too 'busy' for the eye. Interesting storyline and world building that I want to see more of in the future. All told, a game that will absolutely lull you into playing 'just one more turn'.
