Indie game studio Chucklefish made an exciting announcement on Wednesday, revealing that Wargroove 2 is currently in the works. Although details are currently scarce, fans can get excited for new commanders, factions, and battle mechanics. Additionally, Wargroove 2 will feature a new roguelike mode that will add an extra layer of depth and challenge to the game’s already thrilling gameplay.
What is Wargroove?
For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Wargroove is a popular grid-based tactics game that offers a fantasy take on the classic game Advance Wars. Players control a variety of squads that can move around a square grid, fighting enemies and taking over buildings to gain resources. These resources can then be used to add more allies to the battlefield. The game has received critical acclaim for its engaging gameplay, enjoyable storyline, and charming pixel art style.
“It looks great, it’s not too hard to understand, and it’s fun moment-to-moment,” wrote Keza MacDonald in her review for Kotaku.
What Can We Expect from Wargroove 2?
While Chucklefish hasn’t shared any concrete details about the new game, fans are already excited about the potential for new commanders, factions, and battle mechanics. Additionally, the new roguelike mode promises to add a whole new layer of challenge and excitement to the game. This mode has been gaining popularity in recent years, offering players the chance to play through randomized levels with limited resources and permadeath. This mode has already proved successful in other games, such as Hitman 3’s recent freelancer mode, and fans are excited to see how it will work in a game like Wargroove.
Chucklefish is partnering with Robotality for the development of Wargroove 2. Although it’s unclear which studio is taking the lead on the project, fans are excited to see how both teams will come together to create a new and unique game.
Why Is Wargroove 2 Such an Exciting Announcement?
Wargroove was a massive success for Chucklefish when it was released in 2019. Fans loved its engaging gameplay, original storyline, and delightful pixel art style. With the announcement of Wargroove 2, Chucklefish is promising to deliver an even more exciting and engaging experience. Fans are eager to see what new features and mechanics will be added to the game, and how the new roguelike mode will change up the gameplay.
Additionally, the announcement of Wargroove 2 is exciting news for fans of the tactical RPG genre. With the recent announcement of Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, fans of the classic game series are eagerly awaiting the game’s release in April. However, as the Nintendo Switch remakes have completely ditched the pixel art style of the original games, many fans are still looking for new tactical RPG games that offer the same charm and engaging gameplay as the original Advance Wars games. Wargroove has already proven itself to be a worthy spiritual successor to the Advance Wars series, and fans are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to dive back into this beloved franchise.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the announcement of Wargroove 2 is exciting news for fans of the tactical RPG genre. Chucklefish has already established itself as a leading indie game studio, and it’s clear that they are committed to delivering high-quality games that engage and challenge their players. With the addition of Robotality to the development team, fans can expect even more exciting and engaging gameplay in Wargroove 2. Until we get more information about the game’s release date and features, players will just have to settle for replaying the original Wargroove and anxiously awaiting the arrival of the highly anticipated sequel.
