Don’t let the title deceive you; Shadow Wars is actually more akin to Advance Wars and Fire Emblem than its brethren.

Ubisoft is switching gears with the latest entry in the Ghost Recon Series. Rather than tactical third person shooter gameplay, Shadow Wars features turn-based strategy in the vein of Nintendo’s Advance Wars or Fire Emblem titles. This style of game revolves around navigating units on a grid, each of which can perform certain moves and move a certain number of spaces with each turn. Enemies have similar capabilities and matches typically revolve around defeating all enemy forces, or holding them off for a certain number of turns.

Instead, players are left with a collection of mediocre mini-games that don't even make an attempt to truly utilize the time concept, relegating it to the background of the mini-games, making its inclusion negligible.

It’s safe to say that by this point you’ve at least heard of the Warriors series. It has been around for years and has seen countless iterations, each only slightly altering the core hack-and-slash gameplay. The upcoming 3DS title, Samurai Warriors: Chronicles doesn’t appear to be an exception; however, players will be able to experience the most complete Warriors game on a handheld console to date, thanks in large part to the capabilities of the 3DS system and the large 2GB ROM size of the 3DS game cards.
