Wee fixes and useful “quality of life” options are within the pipeline for Wargroove, builders Chucklefish say, with imprecise plans for a full-on content material replace and a few DLC additional down the best way. Chucklefish laid out their plans yesterday, additionally noting that gross sales of their Advance Wars-y turn-based technique game between Friday’s launch and Sunday had “already covered the cost of development.” Our Brendan’s Wargroove review says it’s a pleasant and cheery strat ’em up and it’s claimed territory in the latest Steam charts, so good, good issues are coming to a very good game individuals like.
Chuckle fish say the primary patch is completed and working by way of checks, fixing a handful of bugs together with issues with on-line multiplayer maps in opposition to AI. That ought to hit the game actual quickly.
After that, a patch with “quality of life” adjustments is deliberate. Expect this and extra:
- The capacity to skip battle scenes extra shortly. With numerous choices on how this can work.
- The capacity to drive quick map motion to ‘always on’.
- Tooltips and extra information for the efficient/susceptible charts.
- In multiplayer, the host will be capable of fill open spots with CPU gamers.
- Display S rank necessities. (Tip for now, it’s at all times based mostly on variety of turns.)
- Make it harder to unintentionally finish a flip.
Handy however not big. The larger stuff is vaguer. Chucklefish say they’re “looking into a larger content update, DLC and more.” Which sounds… most likely good? Chucklefish to are likely to preserve updating and increasing their games for a good whereas, so I’d most likely anticipate one thing notable.
In the meantime, hey, Wargroove is already fairly deece. Our boy Brendy contrasted its Advance Wars inspirations with the current rejiggled Resident Evil 2 remake, saying Wargroove “is trustworthy to not simply the spirit however the physique of its inspiration, maintaining each the pleasures and a few pains of the previous toy battle game, pointedly refusing to vary many of the fundamentals, and as a substitute merely including additional layers: on-line multiplayer, map enhancing, a ‘puzzle’ mode. It’s not a lot a non secular successor as it’s a full-bodied recreation of the franchise, with skeleton horsemen as a substitute of tanks.”
Not that that’s a foul factor. “The impeccable Into The Breach already established itself as the true successor to Advance Wars,” he concluded, “but I’m perfectly happy to have the old Game Boy cartridge more or less repackaged, even if some of the old dust is trapped in there with it.”
Wargroove is out now on Steam for £16/€17/$20. Speaking of the longer term, a GOG release is “coming soon.”
