Wargroove 2

Mechanics

Wargroove 2 is a classic sequel, not making any drastic changes but rather expanding the previous game's formula. The gameplay is once again turn-based: we explore the map with our army, develop it and lead it into battles fought on separate stages. Battles can take place on land, at sea and in the air.

There are many different commanders to choose from, each representing different factions (including some entirely new ones, such as pirates) and having different specializations. Each commander has a special ability known as a Groove, which can be further enhanced by filling a special meter. Using Grooves at the right time is often key to victory, but we must also learn our units' strengths and weaknesses.

Game modes

Wargroove 2 consists of three campaigns, their stories intertwining until the game's finale. Competitive multiplayer (online or hot seat), co-op (originally introduced in the free Double Trouble expansion), the map and scenario editors (which have been further expanded) all make their return here as well. Created maps and scenarios can be shared with other players.

New to the sequel is the Conquest mode, based on roguelike games. It consists of fast-paced series of battles, with all gold, units and their health staying the same between each encounter.

Technical aspects

Visually, Wargroove 2 uses the same artstyle as its predecessor, still inspired by the Advance Wars series. The cartoonish 2D graphics thus haven't changed much.
