Just picked the game up. Really excited for this one, I love strategy games

Awesome! Did you get a digital copy?

I'm going to start playing tomorrow :)

yup I got a digital copy since it was so cheap :D



Squeezol's Fanclub Member? is that how it works?

Why can't I hold all these no gaemz?

Always looking to improve my awful drawings ;_;

This was the best 3DS launch title IMO, and the single best thing a big Western publisher has done for the platform.



Love and tolerate.

Had the chance to play a little this weekend. The graphics are a little clumsy and the story is full of cliches, but the gameplay is fun. It has a good learning curve, the missions have enough variety, and there's a healthy amount of strategy involved. I especially like the "power shots" and the light RPG elements.



I played the first 4 levels, the gameplays not very complex so far but then again I'm not that far in. Graphics don't look too bad considering other 3ds titles but it isn't impressive either, and the story isn't very interesting lol.

It's not great or bad it's just mediocre

Yeah, the story and dialogue is really dragging it down for me. 

The gameplay, though, is pretty good. I like that players can change the difficulty level to earn more XP and also the optional missions in each map.

You need to pick more interesting games. *smacks Veknoid*

You're going to give me a concussion.

In Veknoid's defense, finding a decent Western 3DS game is quite the challenge. I mean, there's this and there's...

Played a little more tonight. Not much more to report. The dialogue is still cringe-worthy, but the missions are fun and addicting. Finally got to upgrade Duke's assault rifle to a SCAR :)

P.S. I added some questions to the third post.



Does the 3D effect work with the game? 
sadly I never use the 3D effect for my 3DS, it makes me uncomfortable.

How does Shadow Wars compare to the other 3DS launch games?
I didn't play the other launch titles :/

Are the dual screens used wisely?
I think it's very convienent to have the bottom screen full of map and character information.

What are the strengths of the game? The weaknesses?
I'd have to say it's story and controls are a little off, especially the grenade/rocket launchers

Also I finally got to chapter 2, the last mission for chapter 1 is pretty good

Agreed! The last mission in chapter one is pretty great. I managed to keep everyone alive, even the red shirts  

I plan to do a marathon session this weekend to catch up on lost time.
