Summary

Developer:: Nintendo
Publisher:: Nintendo

In a world ravaged by a domino effect of catastrophic events, those lucky enough to survive are divided into warring factions fighting to drive the direction of a new civilization.

Meteor storms, earthquakes and tidal waves devastate the Earth, causing 90 percent of the world’s population to perish. The sky has been blocked out by ash, yielding little sunlight. The battle for control of the new world rages in scorched wastelands and ruined cities. While some are fighting for power, others fight for those who can’t defend themselves and still others are battling to finish a mission interrupted by the calamity.

In this new world, a different breed of Commanding Officer emerges. Gone are series mainstays Max, Nell, Andy, Grit, Drake - all of them lost in the apocalypse. Instead of falling back on battle-changing Super CO Powers, this new generation of Commanding Officer must rely on pure military strategy and guile to overcome rogue enemies who have nothing left to lose.

Advance Wars: Dark Conflict features intuitive but challenging strategy gameplay that will test players’ mettle through a deep Story Mode and more than 100 Free Battle maps. In addition to mainstays of the Advance Wars military, new units such as the Motorbike and Flare make their debuts.

For the first time, you’ll be able to battle and trade your homemade maps via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Through the Voice Chat feature, you’ll be able to talk to the friend you’re playing against. Combining online play with new features, new units and new tactics, Advance Wars: Dark Conflict takes the strategy experience to never before seen heights.

Features:

Within Story Mode, players can play through an additional 38 Trial stages. Although independent of the Story Mode, the Trial stages add much to the gameplay challenge and depth.
New strategies also emerge by way of the Command Zone. For the first time, a Commanding Officer can enter one of the units, and by doing this, he or she creates a Command Zone. The statistics of allied troops within this zone increase.
Construction becomes liberated! Advance Wars: Dark Conflict gives players more control and freedom when it comes to factories and supply points. An army can now build supply ports and airstrips on the battlefield. Aircraft Carriers don’t just refuel planes, they produce them.
Create your own maps and share them with your friends or upload them to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

this game is a TBS (turn based stratogy) it is very good plot, graphics (for DS) but is quite hard at times and can be
jus mean LOL yes but buy it it also has a map make and wi-fi go for it.

The fourth iteration of the AW series strips things back to basics, while also making the art style gloomy, the plot completely serious with only a little comic relief, and new functional features like a map zoom and Wifi battles.

The unit and CO reduction works pretty well - the main point of another installment is to change the setup and learn how to play all over again, and this sure makes you do it, while still being a possible jumping on point. The graphics are a disappointment though - the cheery graphics the series used to have gave it a special something this one lacks. The plot's also just too much - dialogue has gone like Fire Emblem and goes on for far, far too long. Interestingly some features like a proper War Room have also been dropped and replaced by harder optional campaign missions. All in all, it's a good - possibly better - actual strategy game than the previous one, Dual Strike, but it's quite simply less appealing. Get one, but it's your choice which...

Ok ill be honest i bought This, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles & Revenant Wings, & have only played this for like 10 mins and im sorry but it look awful, I know graphics aint everything but i honestly dont want to even keep playing this to see if the gameplay gets better, Compare to Crystal Chronicles , Crystal Kicks this graphics wise (aint played to much of it yet to say about gameplay) & revenant wings Kicks this in gameplay & Grapics!!!!

A very good and very hard game that will make you want to shoot yourself by level 10.
Advance Wars:DC is astounding, the improvements made to the series since the last DS installment have given it some flavour. The storyline is a bit odd but it works well and the graphics have been improved magnificently. I couldn't put it down when I got it either.... until... I got to THE level.
As with all Advance Wars games there is a massive learning curve as the game transcends from easy to ultra hard without much graduation in between. It's now on my to do list alongside Zelda, Coursework and DQM.

I would say this game is perfect for stratergy. I do think there a good story and there a good chance of reply with maps created and your own maps you can make + online play!
New CO2 are nice and there are a few new units, like the bike.
I did not find it to difficult however if your pritty young and new to this kind of gameplay you may find it a bit difficult later on in the game.

I dont buy many games unless they are worth it. This one is worth every penny! ^.^

I was about to give up on the DS. Then Advance Wars: Dark Conflict was given to me.

Since the game was inserted I have not put the DS down.

A decent story mixed in with some great turn based battles. Making the battles turn based gives you time to pick where and when you want to engage. Your units gain rank, after surviving a battle making them harder hitting and less able to be destroyed adds to the mix.

I cannot compare it with the older Advance Wars, but I have to get going as the next battle is ready to go.

Really good game. Have had it for a few days now and am really enjoying it. Much more strategic and challenging than the last ones. New units, new CO's, new graphics. Couldn't ask for much more. Superb.

Submitted by Thomas Holloway

This game is awsome. None of that dual screen rubbish, its gone retro and awsome. and all the animations have changed. the story line is also really interesting. if you're a fan of advance wars games you need to get this, if not, you still need to get this, it rocks!

Ok let me firstly say this review is after just 30mins play time.
The graphics have been re-drawn and made more 3d which is amazing, they now make more use of the top screen for the in-battle scenes with the enemy at the top and your troops at the bottom.
The so called story or campaign mode in the older versions were not very "story" like where as in Dark Conflict it is and it reads through as if you where "reading" it like a story and the COs have also been re-drawn and look human and they are new as well.
The menus just look superb as a first impression it is an amazing one for me.
They have added a zoom function and made everything seem so much better if you have played the other advance wars you HAVE to play this one.
