You decided out of good reasons not to have a one-session online multiplayer mode. As in more complex maps, turns can take up to an hour, it just does not make sense to us. a Dev said, This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. If we want to spend a couple hours in a game why not let us. I know it may not be for everyone but the option should still be there. Especially since the game claims to have online multiplayer. This is borderline false advertising. As even if you are passing your save back and forth you are still only playing single player. No real time play or competitiveness. And you have to use outside software. This ruins the game. The ignorance of the developers to assume this would be enough is just that, ignorant.

A pile of shit. If you bought this cause you were longing for some Advance Wars like gameplay, TOO FUCKING BAD. This steaming pile of dogshit fails in every single aspect and my god the AI is awful. 0/10, regretting my purchase.
If you are REALY want something that is [i]exactly like[/i] like Advance Wars you may not be fully disappointed, because this game is exactly like that only (slightly) worse in every respect. The AI is shit, the story and drawings smell of cheap, the tutorial is misleading, the unit design makes no sense, the UI is ugly and unresponsive with occasional glitches, shitty options menu, there are no fight or capture animations, no unit merging, I could go on and on. I myself only bought this because I got a 75% coupon and I still kind of regret the 1,25 EUR I spent on it. It has hotseat mode which is really the only positive thing I can say about it. Bottom line: Avoid it. Even if you are desperate for some AW-style hotseat combat don't pay more then 1.5 bucks...
In the Future there is a War where robots knock out all the lights, leaving only lame electronic music to guide the way. An interesting concept where the player must hold Alt and press Tab as he frantically tries to escape the blinding robots of the future, but there is no escape! I was quickly confronted with the boss robot who had me holding down my power button in order to escape him. A fascinating game that shows off a unique control scheme. Rating: < 0
This game seemed to be interesting, but sadly failed on so many levels. Having been compared to Advance Wars, I was expecting a lot more out of the game than it gave me. The plot was uninspiring, the characters at least as much. The art, animations and unit design also leads much to be desired. Complemented with bugs, and a lack of other Advance Wars features mean that even Hot Seat and Editing fail to make this enjoyable and engaging. Much regret on my part for buying this game...
I got this game for 99 cents as a curiosity, but was very dissapointed. I'd say the biggest problem I have with the game is that it is customized for slower computers so I can't play it on my computer. Every turn feels like I'm draggng my feet through a hurricane that's pushing me backward slowing my pace to a crawl. As far as the gameplay goes, overall its not really too bad, but it is just a mediocre rts game that may have had a lot of potential if it had better game mechanics. My recomendation is not to buy this game, If its 99 cents and your curious and have some money to waste check it out, as its not atrocious just sub par and plauged by that awful issue that the game seems to move as slow as humanly possible.
Holy crap... I love turn-based strategy, but this game is absolutely terrrible. The interface is abysmal (all clicking...only one hotkey). I thought for sure that this game would be good or at least passable, but omfg I was wrong. Honestly, I bought it for a buck, and I still wish I could return it, just so the devs don't get their cut for a game like this. I read the reviews and thought I would give it a chance...don't make the same mistake I did.
For anyone having issues that they accidentally changed resolution and can't get it back, here's an email from their support. That being said, I'll actually try the game now. "first of all thanks for the buy. Even though the options menu does not include all resolutions, it is possible to change them manually. Just go to: C:\Users\"Name"\Documents\Future Wars\profiles Now open the "profile" document with Notepad or Editor Find the ScreenWidth="1280" ScreenHeight="720" (or something like that) text line and change it to your native resolution. Anyway, the game was designed on the original resolutions of the menu. If you alter via the .ini file, you can run the other resolutions but the gfx options menu will crash the game. But besides this, the game should run and fine in any res - just don`t enter the menu anymore. I hope you will enjoy the game. Best regards, Marcel // Team Headup"
Imagine Advance Wars. Imagine Advance Wars with tedious controls and shitty story and a fraction of the depth. You are now imagining Future Wars. Not even once.
What and absolute piece of crap, its so bad it would be hilarious if it werent for the 70 cents i wasted buying this abomination. After seeing all the negative reviews i though, come on, it cant be THAT bad, well, i was wrong. Seriously dont buy it, go and emulate advance wars instead.
