[h1]One-Sentence Summary:[/h1] A turn-based strategy game heavily inspired by Advance Wars that is enjoyable despite being severely lacking in depth, polish and refinement. [h1]Pros:[/h1] + It's a decent mimic of Advance Wars in feel + The artwork & animation is nicely done + Good sound design and soundtrack + Fun character designs + Jellyfish helmets & Laser sharks! [h1]Cons:[/h1] - The tutorial stages are lacking in explanation - Numerous small bugs and lack of refinement - The menu interface is ugly and hard to navigate - Unit information and game controls are lacking - Gameplay/strategy is very basic - Story and world are not fleshed out [h1]Final Thoughts:[/h1] If you couldn't already tell, I'm a huge fan of the Advance Wars series, which is the obvious inspiration for the Desert Ashes series of games. While the artwork and visual design of the Desert Ashes world is actually really nice, it is unfortunate that the developers did not spend as much time on fleshing out the story...

Pocket God vs Desert Ashes is the "sequel" to Desert Ashes, also available on Steam. These games are turn-based strategy, which play very similar to Advance Wars. You purchase different units for various amounts of gold from your captured factories and bases on the map, and move them into position to defeat the opposing team. I feel that this game should of been sold as DLC for Desert Ashes, because so far I find there to be a lot less content and story here than Desert Ashes to warrant a stand alone game and price. This game adds a new team to fight as called the Pocket Gods (Ooga Chaka), and you play as them in the campaign. In a very unusual move, the "water freezing map event" that occurred at 1 am game time in Desert Ashes was removed in this game. This was a rather useful event in Desert Ashes because you could travel on the frozen ice as if it were land for a couple game time hours, but now that it's gone, the game continues to tell you what time it is game time for no reason at...
it wont let me get on
has water
Pocket God vs Desert Ashes is an army tactics game available on Steam or on your phone/tablet. Different units are strong against one unit type and weak vs another unit type. Instead of medieval units such as knights, this game uses island pygmies and robotic invaders. The concept is simple enough, gain gold, buy units to counter enemies units, take over their temple. Being a port from app to computer created a few issues with the H.U.D. (Heads Up Display) where your pygmies would be hiding behind a frame box. The campaign mode is just a series of harder and harder challenges put against you with the enemy having a better and better advantage each level. Tactical choices can make or break you each turn. if you buy the wrong unit or forget to move an unit it can take many turns to catch up. Another big issue I had was trying to figure out what each enemy could do and what class it was. One of the only redeeming qualities was on the levels where you had a water hut, you could get a shark...
This game gets better once you figure out what to do. When I first played it I was so confused because I didn't know what to do. Now that I know what to do, i've gotten past some parts of the campaign. Once you figure out what to do, it's pretty fun
"Pocket God vs Desert Ashes" is no better than the Steam version of "Desert Ashes", except the pygmies from "Pocket God" have made a cameo in the series. In this version, there are fewer achievements, no improvements made to the animations or graphics, multiple grammatical errors, and overall deadening gameplay. This by-product should have never reached public eye in the first place.
I don't know what the flock to do after all of my guys died. But besides that, it's not really a bad game from what I've played. It's meh 😒
