Nice TBS! The core game nails all the features I like in a game of this kind. I'm playing through on normal difficulty and it's a reasonable challenge, which means there will be replay value for the campaign at higher difficulties. PvP, skirmish maps, custom map editor, co-op on the roadmap. Full featured game. If you like grid based TBS this should be in your library.
The art style and humorous dialogue may or may not be to your liking, but it doesn't detract from the game.
There was a similar game I played years ago with a ton of troop types. This game has them all and a few more. Map features all serve some purpose to block or slow movement, depending on unit type. Land, sea, air units and special abilities, put together with the map editor and choice of PvP or co-op means you can get a lot of hours out of the game. It may seem a little pricy, but it's worth it IMO.
Seems there were some issues on launch, but I've had the game for a few days now. No bugs so far. Very much enjoying the game.

One of the best Advanced War likes. It doesn't mess with the formula too much. If you're an old AW fan, buy this.

Heard the game had a rocky start so i waited a few weeks before buying. Overall, I give the game a 7.5 with the potential to higher it based on the Roadmap to V2.0.
PROS:
1. Faction unique units that adds diversity to the game.
2. Map Editor that allows you to create your own maps for enjoyment.
3. Campaign (30 missions)
4. Improving AI that makes the game a bit more challenging.
5. Four factions to choose from with each having commanders that have their own powers.
CONS:
1. Noticed a few commanders have the same power/passive skill like "Orbital Beam" which is a bit repetitive. Would be nice if some new powers can be made down the line.
2. When i'm in map editor and drop down Faction specific buildings and save the game they are reset to empty buildings so i have to drop a few infantrymen down in order to play.
3. Can't pick your own commander when playing the skirmish Maps.
4. Dead Multiplayer
5. No Random weather Setting like in Advance Wars.
Also hoping more units, commanders, skirmish maps and terrain features for map editor can be added.

It's a pretty good advance wars clone with some interesting concepts and couple units with different strategies to use them. want to get rid of some tanks? get a Rhino...which is a special vehicle that rams things out of the way so....box the enemy vehicle into the river to get rid of them. it's honestly a very tricky unit to deal with.
I will say, the UI needs some work and some game mechanics as well. I keep forgetting that you don't simply move the unit next to the adjacent enemy unit to attack, you need to move the cursor into that unit to attack. also the information on the special CO power? it doesn't tell you in the game so you have to go look at the intelligence menu to see what exactly it is before you can use it or you can stun your own units with EMP if you did not know before hand. this isn't a huge deal breaker which is the most important part, but it can be improved.
otherwise it's a good advance wars clone, seems it focuses more on strategy unlike on ADW where one CO seems unstoppable due to day-by-day advantages (Screw rich kid Colin who gets cheaper units but also allows him to flood the map easily if given time despite only 30 percent less damage dealt due to lack of experience) so you gotta make sure you spend your funds properly here and plan your moves carefully just like on Advance wars: Days of Ruin.
give this game a go if you're into turn-based strategy games

Been over a month since launch and the game is still being fixed (as is rather expected given how bad the launch was).
Campaign:
- Mission variety would be nice (it is almost always destroy all units).
- Art design for CO's are not for everyone, and I'd argue that some are done well, and others just... no.
- The writing is very hit and miss, mainly miss- the writing comes off very painfully hokey.
- The missions are fun overall though, and if the above can be handled, it is very enjoyable.
Skirmish:
- Cannot choose CO's as of now.
- Cannot choose color as of now.
- Limited Skirmish Missions still.
Editor:
- Haven't used it yet.
Other Notes:
I like the unique units, though rebalance would be nice for a couple of them (Dirt Bikes need a movement buff)
I like most of the CO powers despite some not being unique and a rebalance being desperate for some.
A lot more information is needed about the powers and CO's. A lot is needed in general.
I like that they have a roadmap of sorts laid out, and assuming it is all followed and implemented well, the game will be quite good.
Final Verdict.
I recommend the game, but barely. Wait for sale or when the next major update happens unless you want to have fun in the campaign. I hate how the game launched and it really soured my thoughts on the game currently, but after playing it for a few hours, I am having fun. That is what matters. 5/10 as it stands assuming more good things are on the horizon.

Everyone is saying the campaign is super easy and the AI is dumb. After the patch I find it almost impossible to beat certain missions without some super cheese gimmick run or restarting until the AI does something dumb. I've been on krakens run for days...

I waited a bit before leaving a review, given the disastrous launch of the game, which clearly ruined my experience.
The biggest issue for me is that the game lacks depth.
On one hand, the story and characters are uninteresting — to the point that I don’t even feel like finishing the campaign missions that were added.
On the other hand, several gameplay elements were simply abandoned (CO passives, unit ammo and fuel, and certain units shown in the trailers), supposedly for the sake of balance, and the AI is dumb.
I feel that what remains of the game’s early ambition is little more than a price tag it no longer earns.
