Wargroove 2 is the second installment in a series of turn-based tactical strategies inspired by Fire Emblem and Advance Wars. Once again, it takes place in a fantasy realm of Anaria, where we can once again follow the story or face other players.
Wargroove 2 is the sequel to the independent tactical strategy inspired by Pathway).
Three years have ed since the events ofWargroove, with peace prevailing in the land of Aurania. It turns out nothing lasts forever, though. The nation's commanders are forced to act once again once a certain faction discovers centuries-old forbidden technology and mysterious assaults start to occur at nighttime.
Wargroove 2 is a classic sequel, not making any drastic changes but rather expanding the previous game's formula. The gameplay is once again turn-based: we explore the map with our army, develop it and lead it into battles fought on separate stages. Battles can take place on land, at sea and in the air.
There are many different commanders to choose from, each representing different factions (including some entirely new ones, such as pirates) and having different specializations. Each commander has a special ability known as a Groove, which can be further enhanced by filling a special meter. Using Grooves at the right time is often key to victory, but we must also learn our units' strengths and weaknesses.
Wargroove 2 consists of three campaigns, their stories intertwining until the game's finale. Competitive multiplayer (online or hot seat), co-op (originally introduced in the free Double Trouble expansion), the map and scenario editors (which have been further expanded) all make their return here as well. Created maps and scenarios can be shared with other players.
New to the sequel is the Conquest mode, based on roguelike games. It consists of fast-paced series of battles, with all gold, units and their health staying the same between each encounter.
Visually, Wargroove 2 uses the same artstyle as its predecessor, still inspired by the Advance Wars series. The cartoonish 2D graphics thus haven't changed much.

Game Ratings for Wargroove 2 Video Game.
Softpedia: 9 / 10 by Cosmin Vasile
Wargroove 2 is one of the best smallish-scale tactics titles I have played recently, offering a wide variety of cool scenarios in its campaigns as well as extra variety with Conquest. The turn-to-turn action is compelling, and players have space to tweak the difficulty to suit their needs.

Wargroove 2 is just as good as its predecessor, but it isn’t any better.
Video Chums: 4 / 5 by A.J. Maciejewski
Besides a few new unit types and a nifty mode, Wargroove 2 is more of the same but when the core formula is this fun, that's great.
