It does, and it's a very good game, but this feels like plagiarism with how similar it is -- artwork style, mechanics, even UI is essentially identical to the GBA games

"Plagiarism" does not mean what you think it means.

I encourage you to check out both games side by side before making incorrect statements like these.

I think plagiarism is a bit far, but I definitely understand why others think your game is extremely derivative of Advance Wars. Could you elaborate on what makes your game special?

[burnished]

I think thats also known as a genre

[tmountain]

Yeah, it’s really common for indie games to be derivative of big name games. Examples:

Wargroove (advanced wars)

Stardew Valley (harvest moon)

Etc. Wargroove isn’t really even “indie” as Chucklefish is a very established studio.

So, yeah… this is normal and not worthy of criticism.

A genre containing only one game series from one company? :P
