When I spoke to them at EGX, they said that for the last 9 months or so (basically all of 2018 up to that point) was spent testing and polishing, tweaking balance, AI and level layouts. It was mostly "feature complete" (bar, IIRC, the level editor) aaaaaaaaages ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiper Report post Posted January 30 15 minutes ago, Mrs Horribleman said: Into the Breach is nothing like Advance Wars, besides being turn- and tile-based. Fixed that for you. ItB is great, but extremely distinct from Advance Wars in basically all aspects of its design. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdn2 Report post Posted January 30 Saying that, it's got an 88% average on Opencritic. Eurogamer seem to be the outlier, really. Hype (moderately) restored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdn2 Report post Posted January 30 Into The Breach is seriously great and all, but it plays nothing like Advance Wars outside of its turn based nature. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdn2 Report post Posted January 30 I'd rather not. If it's not up to scratch I'm going to be bitterly disappointed. I don't want to risk increasing the hype level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jolly Report post Posted January 30 Don't worry mate, I'm sure it'll be fine (although I'm basing this on nothing but blind optimism and wishful thinking given that, like you, I've preordered and paid for it). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You definitely don’t need to be worried, unless they’ve somehow made it considerably worse than it was a few months back. (They haven’t). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CheekyLee Report post Posted February 1 I put the Switch on this morning, hoping it would be available to buy, then saw it was still pre-order. Checked in here, and believed @deKay saying ti would be 2pm. Therefore, my Switch is still at home. Bugger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
