Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Binding: Video Game
Manufacturer: Nintendo
Product Description:
Almost 90% of mankind has been killed off following a devastating meteor strike that has caused a massive dust cloud to blot out the sun. Scattered survivors pick through the wreckage, and the remnants of several military superpowers patrol the ravaged landscape, some factions protecting the innocent while the others prey upon them. The two rival world superpowers, Rubinelle and Lazuria, continue to fight among the ruins of their countries, the few surviving military leaders of each side carrying on the conflict begun before the catastrophe. In their wake, various warlords rise to power, seizing scarce food rations from the defenseless survivors and attempting to assert their dominance in the absence of law and order. Follow the Rubinelle COs Will, Brenner, and Lin as they embark on a mission to rescue as many of the survivors as possible, with the help of the mysterious Isabella, an amnesiac girl who seems to know vital military secrets, and various other sympathetic factions.

Customer Reviews


Days of Ruin provides a much wider variety then Dual Strike
I bought DOR because I somewhat enjoyed Dual Strike. When I started Campaign i found it much more graphically satisfying as well as A better cast of characters for the campaign. Will Definitely has alot more personality then Jake and wants to rebuild instead of fight. He lets this be known after every battle instead of saying useless comments like "Oh man dude you got owned!" The campaign depth doesn't end there though, all the characters have much more depth, from strong and forgiving Brenner to Calculating Lin, Campaign is much better.

War Room has been simply replaced by Free battle and You can now hold fifty designed maps, this kind of replaces the shop because if you want a certain map, just design it. Battles are now more even. I do not get gunned down by 3 battleships the second i get my first cruiser on the water. If you like this kind of thing, use the designer. With a much wider variety of tactics you can decide whether to carpet bomb the enemy with numerous bombers, or soften them with battleships from the sea then storm the island with troops from landers under the cover of carriers seaplanes. It's because of these things i enjoy Advance Wars, Days Of Ruin more then it's predecessor
