Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a remake of the first two games in the Wars turn-based strategy franchise that came to the West, Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising for the Game Boy Advance, and Like the original titles, this is an outstanding title. It is true that the artistic section chosen by WayForward for this remake can cause controversy, and that the online multiplayer mode has been left with very few options and possibilities, but otherwise all the additions add to a couple of titles that already reached levels of quality very high. We hope that this test balloon is successful and allows the return of the franchise with a new installment or a remake of the two installments of Nintendo DS, either project would be more than welcome. |

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp isn’t a perfect title on its own merits, but it’s addictive, stylish, and fun. The wonderful characters make up for an uninteresting and predictable plot. It’d be great to see more Advance Wars and other Wars titles make their way over to the system, but adding matchmaking for online play would be a must. |

There is a reason Advance Wars is considered one of the best games of all time: It offers something for everyone, from beginners to absolute experts in warfare, and can achieve an incredible depth regarding gameplay. This remaster also does everything right: changes are only made to the graphics, but gameplay and level design remain true to the original. Add online functionality, dubbing and a map editor on top and a Game Boy classic is brought to the modern era in a perfect way. |

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is one of the better returns to a classic tactics series. Both individual games have aged exponentially well with campaigns that are more enjoyable and charming than you’d think, and just as many thrilling fights to match. Developer Wayforward deserves credit for earnestly including quality of life and approachability options for more players, but it can ever so rarely leave a difficulty imbalance from level to level. However, that is hardly a scuff on the excellent product provided. Smart battlefield design accompanied with engaging objectives make for some excellent missions to chip away at. Similarly, the colouring and model design is superb, further immersing the player in commanding a battlefield as an ultimate strategist. Players are in excellent hands with Re-Boot Camp. It’s up to them to use those tools to triumph in battle and come out on top. Hoorah. |

Nintendo has surprised us by revitalizing one of its most beloved (and forgotten) sagas at the turn of the millennium. After 15 years of absolute silence and a delay of more than a year (presumably because it is a war game and out of respect and solidarity with Ukraine due to the conflict it is in), it offers us a remake that knows how to make us enjoy almost the same as the first time, but with graphic and sound improvements to keep up with current standards. An essential game if you are a lover of turn-based strategy games with which you will have a great time both alone and in company, thanks to its different multiplayer modes and with some additional additions that make the adventure a little more affordable, such as the possibility of restart the turn if we have made a bad move by moving a unit in the wrong way. Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp will entertain us with its more than 40 hours of gameplay just playing its two campaigns, hours that increase considerably if we want to unlock everything or complete its challenges. |

For the old fans, Re-Boot Camp is practically perfect. The games look much better, while the mechanical guts are properly preserved. On the other hand, if you remember these games being frustrating, that feeling will persist. If you’ve never played the Advance Wars games, you’re in for a fascinating experience. The heavy Fire Emblem influences are balanced with a more brutal, more inconsistent pace that will keep you on your toes at all times. I found myself (an old fan) elated and infuriated in equal measure. If you’re looking for a strategy RPG set apart from the rest, good news! Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp isn’t quite like anything you’ve played before. Love it or hate it, you’ll certainly be engaged. |

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp brings back two classic tactics games with mixed results. While the various COs and their animations are exceptional, accompanied with welcomed voice acting, the 3D artwork for the environments, troops and vehicles clashes with the 2D drawings. The missions themselves hold up incredibly well twenty years later with vast unit variety and choice for most battles. Bare bones online modes don’t offer quite enough opportunity for replayability, but the package still stands tall with a map editor and missions with additional maps. |

The engrossing strategic gameplay of the Game Boy Advance entries remains as addictive and enjoyable now as they did all those years ago, a testament to the original developer’s well-crafted gameplay mechanics. The only problem is the limited online because being exclusive to your friends and not having a ranking/open matchmaking feature is a huge opportunity missed. The rest of the package in Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is an easy recommendation for anyone who wants to challenge their tactical know-how on the miniature battlefield. |

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a tough sell to some for a variety of reasons. Straight-up: a lot of folks likely aren’t going to want to pay full price to experience these games all over again, and I get it. But I found myself falling in love with the Advance Wars universe for the second time in my life, despite occasionally going back to my still-working GBA copies. I really hope this leads to a series resurgence, and Nintendo/WayForward both use this opportunity to move the franchise forward from the ground up. |

Aside from the audiovisual presentation, the Advance Wars remake plays it considerably safe. That isn’t a bad thing in itself, particularly since the foundations of the game mostly hold up.

I find myself conflicted with Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp. On the one hand, it is essential. To this day, these are two of the finest tactical games of all time. On the other hand, there is no reason for this remake to exist when a re-release would have been sufficient. If it’s Nintendo’s way of exploring a revival of the franchise, that’s fantastic, and I hope it sells a bucketload. I just wish WayForward’s talents had have been deployed better. |

In essence both Advance Wars have aged well. While the original remains a few holes above the Black Hole sequel, while this remake doesn’t make major changes to the game’s mechanics and epicenter, it did make it more enjoyable in some ways, especially in the compelling presentation of the original art and the commanders who control the operations, energetic and vibrant in encouraging the troops. It is a remake also more garnished in game modes. If for many fans of Advance Wars this return coincides with a challenge lost in time (and if they passed the version for Wii U), for those who have not played the originals there are two good arguments to do so. |

Advance Wars 1+2 Re:Boot Camp might just find a permanent home on your Switch between its epic, lengthy campaigns, multiplayer variety, and custom maps. Nintendo and Wayforward have set up a release that is incredibly generous, highly enjoyable, while reinvigorating a franchise many thought they may never see again. Brutal difficulty curve aside, there’s no first party game on Nintendo’s lineup more suited for Switch than Advance Wars and if you’re willing to put the time in, you’ll be heavily, heartily rewarded. |

In conclusion, Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp is the pure strategy experience I never knew I wanted. And that is without having even mentioned all of the other modes the game has to offer besides the two campaigns; such as the Design Room where you can make your own maps, and the various ways you can test your CO skills against opponents – whether they are CPUs or humans, both locally and online. These are nice extras that I’m sure other people will enjoy more than me, but none of them were needed to make me a new fan of Advance Wars. I want more of this – more of this genre, and more revivals of franchises that were thought to be dead. Simply put, if you like strategy games, you owe it to yourself to pick this game up. |

The amount of content is substantial- lasting over 40 hours. If you already have the original GBA games and the hardware to play them, then it is hard to recommend this version. If you don’t, then Re-Boot Camp is still worth it if you want a great strategy game. |

The new Advance Wars, just like the original, arrives at a strange time. Nintendo appeared to recognize this last year when, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it delayed Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp indefinitely. But the toylike soldiers exaggeratedly stomping cities into submission and cartoon characters being wiped out by artillery fire feel disconnected from the real-world war that gave Nintendo pause in 2022. In other words, it’s less off-putting than one might think to have fun with an urban military wargame right now. If anything, the return of Advance Wars feels like a link to a simpler time, made better with age and reverence for a long-ignored, still-great franchise. |

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a darn fine remake of two the GBA’s most addictive games. It doesn’t exactly change too much from the original, but it adds some new features, more multiplayer options, and a glossy new coat of paint. That’s pretty much all it needs to be. Advance Wars ate hours of my life as a kid, and it certainly has the same potential now that I’m older. |
