Item Description

Two commanders, back-to-back turns and an enemy front line that never saw it coming. The Tag Break, which lets a pair of COs unleash their powers together and act twice in a row, is the signature move of Advance Wars: Dual Strike, and it sums up what Intelligent Systems set out to do with the series' Nintendo DS debut. Everything that made the Game Boy Advance games so addictive is still here, from the crisp turn-based combat to the cheerful little armies, but almost every system has been doubled.

Commanding Officers now fight in pairs, swapping in and out between turns, and they level up as you play, opening slots for skills that shape their strengths. Some campaign maps run a second battle on the top screen alongside the one you command, and the story takes the Allied Nations to Omega Land to face Black Hole's new leader, Von Bolt, and his scheme to drain the land's energy to prolong his own life. Newcomers Jake and Rachel join the familiar faces, and several former Black Hole commanders become reluctant allies.

The arsenal expanded too. The towering Megatank, the long-range Piperunner that rides its own pipelines, the creeping Oozium 238, Stealth fighters, Black Boats and Carriers all give veterans fresh problems to solve. Beyond the campaign, the War Room's challenge maps, a Survival mode that tests how long your resources last, the real-time Combat mode and the Design Room for building your own maps keep the game going long after the credits, and local wireless play lets friends battle head to head.

Dual Strike was one of the best-reviewed strategy games on the DS, and it is the most feature-packed of the classic Advance Wars games, the bright Orange Star and Blue Moon era before the series turned grim in Days of Ruin. It is the entry to pick up if you loved the GBA games and want more of everything: more COs, more units, more modes and more ways to win.

About the game

Advance Wars: Dual Strike is the third installment in the Advance Wars series (first on DS media). Advance Wars is the international title of the Wars video game series, which dates back to the Family Computer game Famicom Wars in 1988. The storyline is a continuation of the previous series and is set in the new location of Omega Land. Black Hole has returned under the leadership of a new commander who seeks to give himself eternal life by draining the energy of Omega Land. The Allied Nations struggle to overcome this threat and are eventually joined by several former Black Hole commanding officers in an effort to save the land.
