The VG Resource

Some of you might know that I've been working on a game for the past few months (art and design) called Mecho Wars. The game is now out, and hopefully there will be a trailer to show soon.

Quote:Jump into an exciting advanced war between the Winged Crusade and the
Landians! Mecho Wars is a turn-based strategy game where you command
your troops to expand control and conquer your enemies. Strategically
position your troops because each type has its strengths and
weaknesses.

Command your troops to conquer structures for your team's benefit.
Capture factories to expand maximum army support. To pay for this
large army, take-over cities to earn gold from the rich economic hubs.
Finally, defeat the enemy by capturing their H.Q. structures.

Included in the game is a rich story-driven single player campaign, a
special set of individual challenge maps, and remarkable multi-player
support with a single device.

The single player campaign is a story about the rise of the Winged
Crusade. The story takes place in a distant land known as the
Divination Deserts. This is not your typical desert since there is
plenty of water separating land masses. Mecho Wars features a unique
day-night cycle where water will freeze overnight. Once inaccessible
areas by land troops can be reached in the early hours of the morning.

The day-night cycle isn't used only in the single player campaign.
Try facing off against a friend in multi-player. Be amused when you
place your troops in the right spots for an overnight ambush!

Looks great, such a unique style. Not my kind of game though.

The graphics are nice and I LOVE strategy games but, the designs throw me off.

I also dislike paying for games.

Nice Advance Wars rip off. Next time, add some music that isn't so goddamn boring.

I'm glad to see you invested several seconds of time into viewing this games contents.

What a douche bag you are.

Because no one else here is as scathingly direct about their own opinions.

The art is nice as usual, but I still think the character designs are really unappealing (Which wasn't your decision; as you've told me before).

I agree that some are a bit meh (especially the KKK rip off in a mask), but I do like certain ones. Mainly the flying, magic, and main enemy units and bosses.

It looks exactly like Advance Wars but with a different setting and a day-night system.
Yes, you can make a game of the same genre of another game you love, and even grasp some inspiration, even though obvious, out of it.
But this just looks like Advance Wars with surreal creatures instead of soldiers and tanks, it's nearly ridiculous. This game needs more original concepts and game design added to it, really :c

this does look interesting, and the visuals are nice. but it needs more improvement in originality like everyone else has said.


I can see myself trying this out.

I'm buying it soon. Graphics look nice, and of course since I have an iTouch I HAVE to support my favorite pixel artist

Animations could be better. That was Souly's job, though, I understand.

Good stuff!

well that was rude

Souly is quite open about the animation quality. He just sees it as good practice and some fun.
