How does it compare to the first? I don’t know why, but the first one didn’t really click with me. I think the CO being on the field made it feel too fire emblem rather than advance wars.

Plus the move away from pixel graphics really hurt the asthetic, but I think they knew without doing something graphically that people wouldn’t fork over $60.

Even if it was getting slim enough to run on consumer grade hardware it wouldn’t undercut the SaaS model.

I think the real thing, as others have mentioned, is that it’s not reliable enough and everywhere I’ve seen it’s been difficult to move the latest models past just being chatbots.
