"Warside is a freshly-released, turn-based strategy game for Steam from Lavabird and First Break Labs. We've been excited for it not just because of its lovely Advance Wars-style graphics and intuitive gameplay, but also for its promised co-op support. Well, now that the game is here, it turns out that co-op won't be arriving until the console ports come along. That's a shame, but the currently-available solo campaign and competitive multiplayer are nothing to sneeze at," says Co-Optimus.
TNS: "Have you felt withdrawal symptoms because Advance Wars has vanished into the ether? Don't fret — Warside has the medicine you need."
I wouldn't say they abandoned it, they just released a game last year for the series.
So called fans abandoned the series not Nintendo. Days of Ruin bombed on the super successful DS and the remakes have yet to crack 1 million on the Switch even after mutiple quarterly financial updates. In both cases you had a high install base but "fans" couldn't be bothered to buy the either game.
I don't care what the excuse is for skipping the titles it just sends a message to Nintendo not to be bothered with new entries. Even FE fans got their acts together as that property also sold like shit on the DS but was able to recover and become a mainstream IP for Nintendo.
Warside, the new 2.5D platformer shooter, developed by Kraken Games, advertised as a MMO Action-RPG. This game sets up a rather unique art style with cartoonish drawings with sharp edges. Starting with Free Access they aim to get a community behind them before releasing the full game, though the full game is already on offer to purchase alongside the free version
IncGamers interviews Warside developers Kraken Games about how the game functions, how they’re balancing the free-to-play aspects, what sort of non-competitive content there’ll be, and maybe a little about whether or not it’s tricky to be a Russian developer trying to release a game in the west.
Weird they don't mention that the game is a buggy unplayable mess. -1 for cooptmius
