Don't hesitate to try this one!
-
To put those complaints into perspective, it'll take you 40-plus hours to finish the story mode. Longer if you try to complete all of the optional badlands missions. That's 40-plus hours worth of awesome battles and addictive customizing.
-
Only kids will likely get much out of the game's storyline, but anyone who enjoys a good turn-based strategy-RPG will find plenty to like about this game.
-
The card subsystem in Drone Tactics is interesting and unique, and it helps set the title apart from other similar games.
-
Drone Tactics may look like Advance Wars with giant mechanical bugs and an absurd plot, but it's challenging and fun. Just watch out for those damn centipedes.
-
Adult players may find the story a tad on the horrendous side, but Drone Tactics easily holds its own in the strategy and gameplay departments.
-
If you consider yourself a fan of turn-based strategy games, though, you may find the engaging insect mech combat to be worth it.
-
A solid title with a lot of shine on the core gameplay. Anyone looking for something new in the genre should give this a test run.
-
Nintendo PowerThe result is a storyline that will elicit nothing but eye-rolls and nasal snorts from anyone over 12, but the game at the core of Drone Tactics is surprisingly well-made. [June 2008, p.87]
-
Drone Tactics is functional and occasionally fun, but it never gets exciting.
-
It's definitely a superior example of turn-based strategy, and certainly the best insect-based example of the genre. And, in a slightly tenuous attempt to tie the end of this review back in to our opening trivia, it's definitely more fun than counting to 10 quintillion.
-
Nintendo GamerGenre fans won't find much challenge here but it's diverting enough while it lasts. [Aug 2008, p.68]
