Advance Wars: Dual Strike 2005

Is it still worth playing?

Intelligent Systems' 2005 turn based strategy game for the Nintendo DS, the third Advance Wars game, set in Omega Land, where Black Hole returns under a new commander, Von Bolt. Battles are on grid maps with two to four armies of ground, sea and air units, won by destroying every enemy unit or capturing the enemy headquarters. Each army is led by one or two commanding officers. When two command one army, a Tag Power lets both use their Super CO powers in the same turn, and COs gain experience and promotions that unlock skills, up to four at once. The DS adds a second front. In Dual Front missions the battle is split across the top and bottom screens, with a different CO on each. Two commanders, and sometimes two battles at once, still make planning each turn the reason to take it up today.
