#Advance wars 2 rom vba update#

I don't care much for Dual Strike, and I'm not a competitive player either, so the fact that a game emphasized on both has become one of my favorites should tell you how good it's shaping up to be! With new CO's, more balanced COs, and tons of competitive level maps to play from, you get a ton of entertainment out of this! I should make it known that this game is more intended for human vs human multiplayer, so if you're looking for single player challenges, look elsewhere.

#Advance wars 2 rom vba update#

I haven't made is that far in the update yet, but I have no doubt that it will not disappoint! I felt that the final missions were too easy, and Ephraim recently released an update that (among other things) reworked the final missions. My only real criticism of this hack has been addressed, actually. Still, the fact that he even attempted it is very ambitious and admirable! The campaign is a blast, by the way! It recreates that feeling of playing AW2 for the first time and learning everything you can about it! Not only did Ephraim create a whole new campaign, he created new custom COs with their own abilities and even attempted to give them new CO themes! While the quality of these CO themes is debatable, Ephraim allowed for two patches, one with new music and one with the music from the vanilla game, depending on your preference. If any of these rom hacks deserve an A for effort, this one probably gets it. Status: 'Complete' (Done, but I think Ephraim intends to polish it) Though it is dated at this point, it paved the way for all of the other rom hacks on this list and provided so much challenge for a then-teenaged Stove who was playing AW for the first time since being a kid! Also, Xenesis deserves major respect for sticking with the community all of these years! I see this as like the godfather of my favorite AW hacks. Honorable Mention: War Room Challenge 2012 I know 'top 5' makes up the majority of them, but that's also why I wanted to post this: to show some appreciation! The hacking community is basically a few people, but I want to make it known how much myself and others appreciate the time and effort put in to a franchise that up until this year was more-or-less dead.
