Describe Wargroove here....Okay, it's Advance Wars, IN MEDIEVAL TIMES. Well, that was easy, who's for lunch?All joking aside, Wargroove is a 2019 Turn-Based Strategy game for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 by Chucklefish, developers of Starbound and original publisher of Stardew Valley. Like its predecessors, it is an intentionally retro-looking game intended to serve as a Spiritual Successor to a previous franchise, in this case Nintendo's venerable Advance Wars series with a seasoning of Fire Emblem added.The gameplay will be immediately familiar to any Advance Wars fan: Starting out with a headquarters and a few units, players take turns to slowly conquer the map by claiming settlements and defeating your opponent's units in turn-based moves heavily dominated by Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors, buying new units from buildings you claim along the way. You win by either destroying the opposing headquarters or by defeating their hero. In addition to the Advance Wars staples the game also adds its own touches with the introduction of commander units, powerful unique units that represent your army's general and will fail you the game if they are defeated, and a built-in turn limit for multiplayer games where the player with the most territory and units will win when time runs out. Commanders each have unique hero powers called 'grooves' (similarly to CO powers) that slowly charge up as the commander fights battles. The game supports 4-player multiplayer games over the internet with cross-platform compatibility, as well as the ability for players to play multiple games at a time and message their opponent when their turn is done instead of waiting around for the opposition's moves in-game.The game's included single-player campaign follows Mercia, recently-crowned queen of the Cherrystone Kingdom after her father is murdered by the Felheim Legion in an attempt to weaken Cherrystone for an invasion. Over the course of the campaign Mercia must make common cause with her other neighbours, the Heavensong Empire and the Floran Tribes, and repeal the Felheim Legion's invasion. The game also comes complete with a map and campaign editor that promises the ability for anyone to make (and share) their own stories online with anyone who would like to play them.In October 2019, a free Expansion Pack named Wargroove: Double Trouble was announced. It introduces a new co-op story campaign, three new commanders (Wulfar, Errol and Orla, and Vesper), two new units (the Rifleman and Thief), and a range of balance updates and improvements to both the map editor and online play.In March 2023, a sequel titled Wargroove 2 was announced, introducing new units, game modes, commanders and factions. It released on October 5, 2023. | |

| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_105f4bd9 | comment |
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: In both campaign and arcade, any defeated Commander is hale and healthy in subsequent cutscenes (even if you defeated them in-game), and usually escape off-screen with no hindrance. Averted in Ryota's spotlight side-mission in the Campaign, where he corners and executes Sedge, and in the last battle against Sigrid, which ends with the vampire skewered by Mercia. Averted by Elodie and Dark Mercia in Arcade Mode, who outright kill their opponents after each battle. | |

"Get Back Here!" Boss | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_10f5b375 | comment |
"Get Back Here!" Boss: All enemy commanders will generally try to stray away from combat if it's not necessary for them or if they're low in health. Combined with the fact all of them slowly regenerate and beating campaign missions in a set amount of turns yields higher stars, this can be frustrating. The True Final Boss, Dark Mercia, teleports and retreats to different phases in her battle. | |

Coup de Grâce Cutscene | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_11204355 | comment |
Coup de Grâce Cutscene: Both Sedge and Sigrid are killed by the victorious player commander in cutscenes after their final encounters in the campaign, even if in-game they merely lost their fortresses or were struck down by generic units. Sirgid's case especially, as the cutscene immediately opens with her fatally impaled upon Mercia's sword, without actually showing the attack. | |

| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_15fc9fb | comment |
Our Elves Are Different: Reading their Flavor Text establishes the Floran Tribes to be a warped take on the trope of forest-dwelling elves living in harmony with nature. They're described as "lithe and beautiful, moving with other-worldly grace and agility," but "also display terrifying aggression and a keen hunter's instinct." | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: And how! The Florans are fought as enemies because Sedge tricks Greenfinger into thinking they're hostiles and he believes it. The Heavensong warriors are fought due to a combination of Sedge's assault against them and Nuru's Blood Knight attitude. The Felheim Legion are the villains, but only Sigrid was the actively evil one. Valder had thought Mercia had started a war against them — he had no idea Sigrid killed Mercia's father until the last minute. | |

Palette Swap: The Outlaw Clans in the first game use Cherrystone units, until Wargoove 2 gives them a more distinct pirate theme. The Guardians of Requiem also use Cherrystone units during Arcade matches. One of Dark Mercia’s voice lines has her take offence at being called a palette swap. | |

Support Party Member: Wagons, Transports and Balloons can quickly ferry land units across the map, but have absolutely no means of defending themselves or attacking targets. Double Trouble adds Thieves, who are also incapable of fighting, but can steal income from enemy buildings (neutralizing them instantly, no matter their current health). | |

Sidequest | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_2af679a6 | comment |
Sidequest: The main campaign is littered with optional maps that can be played (or ignored) without moving the main story beforehand. They often unlock new characters for Arcade Mode (those missions being A Day in the Limelight or a Villain Episode for that character) and add to the player's star rating. Sidequest Sidestory: All the side quests canonically happen at the same time as the main storyline whether you play them or not; for example, Sedge is exiled by Zawan in an optional map where you play as Zawan and later shows up in the main storyline referencing the events of the optional map. | |

Geo Effects | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_35a24c16 | comment |
Geo Effects: Weather effects are present and accounted for. Sunny is normal, fair winds give movement bonuses on land and sea and attack bonuses for air units, and bad weather applies penalties to the same. Each type of terrain provides bonuses or penalties to a unit's defense, as well as affecting their mobility. Roads allow land units to move faster, but provide no defensive benefit; meanwhile a mountain will slow movement due to the treacherous geography, but provides a significant defense bonus. Futhermore, many units' Critical Hit mechanics depend on the unit standing on a certain type of terrain (eg. Areonauts dealing a critical hit while over a mountain). | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: In a game where you can summon dragons, purchase gallant knights, call in harpies, and utilize massive, unit killing golems, what will usually be your most important, most valued, most pivotal unit? The humble Pikeman (with perhaps a ballista or witch around for handling aerial units) will often be the key to your success. At a cheap 150 gold cost, they are easily spammed, and unlike most of the units worth less than 600 gold, can actually tank really well. The majority of ground units simply can't break through them in a single hit, and often can't do it in two, either. And unlike the swordsman, Pikemen can give just as good as they get. The biggest reason to use Pikemen, however, is the way money is handled in this game. Both you and your opponent will be jockeying for a lot of money to start purchasing heavy hitters like Golems, Trebuchets, and Dragons. However, given that there's rarely more than fourteen properties on a map (and that's being generous), the simple fact of the matter is that even late into a campaign you can't crank out a dragon every turn. This is compounded by buying Knights and Harpies and Archers- all fantastic, usable units, but expensive. In general, until mid-to-late into a campaign, it's far more cost effective to spam Pikemen as a defensive wall so that, at most, you're only losing around 300 gold a day (as later maps will often have multiple army deployment centers) at a point where that will give you a net gain on money, allowing you to save up for Ballistae and the heavy hitter units much more effectively than futilely spamming Knights. Spamming expensive units is often the AI's greatest flaw to exploit as a result. Downplayed in a later update where Pikemen now cost 250 gold each but they're still useful nonetheless. | |

Crapsaccharine World | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_3b79029a | comment |
Crapsaccharine World: A Downplayed example, as the setting of Wargroove remains a lighthearted Adventure-Friendly World, but the Codex isn't afraid to point out some of its darker elements. For example, it comments on how Cherrystone appears to have a bandit problem and speculates on what the wider socioeconomic cause could be. Despite their Adaptational Heroism, the Florans are still voracious carnivores and deadly hunters. The codex points out that the main reason they refrain from eating people is simple Pragmatic Villainy - Humans don't taste as good as herbivorous animals, and they have a tendency to react with Torches and Pitchforks. Even then, a hapless intruder into The Lost Woods is liable to be hunted down for sport by the locals, with only the word of the Greenfinger capable of staying their hand. The codex entry on Floran villagers also implies that even those who befriend Florans aren't entirely safe from them. | |

Hero Must Survive: If your Commander is defeated in battle, you lose the match. In addition, much like in Advance Wars, losing your HQ is also an instant loss. This also applies if you're controlling multiple commanders at once - losing any one of them will result in mission failure. | |

The codex points out that the main reason they refrain from eating people is simple Pragmatic Villainy - Humans don't taste as good as herbivorous animals, and they have a tendency to react with Torches and Pitchforks. Even then, a hapless intruder into The Lost Woods is liable to be hunted down for sport by the locals, with only the word of the Greenfinger capable of staying their hand. The codex entry on Floran villagers also implies that even those who befriend Florans aren't entirely safe from them. | |

Zerg Rush | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_41dd77d | comment |
Zerg Rush: The encouraged usage of dog units. Thanks to their relatively low cost, large movement range, high attack power, and a crit that activates when other dogs are surrounding the target, it’s generally a good idea to send out a large pack of dogs to disrupt enemy defenses or overwhelm the enemy commander, assuming they have the backup needed to deal with threats they can’t take on. | |

The Unfought | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_464dd7cc | comment |
The Unfought: The player never fights Tenri in the main story mode, instead taking control of her during her one limelight mission against Emeric in a friendly spar. She is however fought in the expansion campaign mode. In the co-op campaign, Sigrid and Sedge are nowhere to be seen, likely due to the fact that this campaign takes place after the main story, long after they have been slain for good. They are however featured in the Dance Party Ending in the credits for that campaign though. | |

Throw the Mook at Them: Wulfar's groove allows him to launch any non-commander unit away, dealing splash damage to any enemies it lands near and instantly defeating the unit if it lands somewhere it can't move through (land units in water, wheel units on mountains).

Floran commander Nuru is an existing character from Starbound who repeatedly alludes to interstellar adventures, and uses a spaceship's teleporter for her groove (complete with the same beam-down sound effects). In her Arcade Mode ending, it's revealed that Nuru is working for Esther Bright, confirming that Wargroove takes place after the events of Starbound. | |

Risking the King: Commanders may lose the game when defeated, but they are powerful combatants, heal passively, every Groove has its effective range centred on the user (if they're not a direct action outright), and Groove charge is built faster when the Commander is in combat. Taking measured risks using them as a Frontline General is greatly rewarded compared to taking a Too Awesome to Use approach and leaving them sitting next to HQ. | |

Dangerous Forbidden Technique | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_8f0dc93c | comment |
The computer also gets Giants, Harpies/Vampires, and Dragons significantly earlier than you do in the Story Mode. Thankfully the game gives you counters for all three at the same time they're introduced (Trebuchets for the Giants, Alchemists and Balistas for the Vampires, and Witches for the Dragons), but it can be seen as quite unfair for the AI to have far more powerful and mobile units. Handwaved with Greenfinger's mission against Sedge, where he classifies them as a Dangerous Forbidden Technique, but seen as weird during Ragna's Villain Episode, where her foe Caesar (a Cherrystone dog) can casually use Giants. | |

Mighty Glacier: The Spearman has the lowest movement rate in the game, but can deal frightful damage in packs thanks to its Critical Hit mechanic and has decent defenses against melee attacks.

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: The AI emphasizes attacking over defending and can be baited into making bad trades by providing them with the right fodder to attack. This goes double if your Commander is on the frontline; the AI will gladly charge them with units who have no realistic chance in heck of making a permanent dent in their HP pool. The AI will often focus on destroying allied villages, even if one of your units nearby is recapturing it every turn. Inversely, an isolated unit will sometimes fixate on capturing a village, even if one of your own units is nearby to demolish it every turn. Wagons receive a disproportionate amount of the AI’s ire, much like the APCs of Advance Wars old. Especially with the above in consideration, the AI is just not good with large maps. It's not too difficult to keep up with a hard arcade AI on them, as the AI refuses to make wagons/balloons/barges and usually focuses its forces on wherever your commander is, meaning the starting skirmish can be pushed further into their territory than it should. If the AI somehow gets wagons/balloons/barges, it has no real idea what to do with them, leaving them just out of reach of your troops at best. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Despite the fantasy coat of paint, the games wears its inspiration on its sleeves, which can lead to tripping up when a couple of crucial mechanics are very slightly different. In particular: For Advanced Wars veterans. Properties use a completely different set of mechanics that bares not even a passing resemblance to AW. Grade in Campaign mode is exclusively based on your speed (How many turns it takes for you to win). Players are used to scoring high on Power and Technique for grade (killing enemy units and preserving your own) will find it awkward. The Archer unit, while filling the same niche as Artillery, is a very different beast, being able to move and attack in the same turn, retaliate and range, and attack point-blank. They can also attack flying units for normal damage unlike the Artillery. Trebuchets and Ballistas have similar niches to Rocket and Missile Launchers, but they both function very differently. Both cannot move and attack at the same turn, and Ballistas can attack all units (although for less damage than air units). A lot of units here are significantly inexpensive compared to Advance Wars, especially the air and sea units. There are only three units that are 1,000 or over coins, and those are the Trebuchet, Giant, and Dragon. Even accounting for Wargroove lopping a 0 off the end of its gold values, that still makes most units significantly less costly than their Advance Wars analogues... except the Trebuchet, which is dramatically pricier than the Rocket it replaces. For Fire Emblem veterans. Archers even being able to attack and counter more than 2 spaces and at point blank, which was implemented in Shadows of Valentia. Additionally, Archers aren't super effective against Flying units - Mages, Sky Riders, Ballistas, and Harpoon Ships do that instead. Also, Mages can only attack the space in front of them unlike FE Mages. FE players are used to selecting a unit or structure with the A button, as well as entering the menu by selecting an empty tile with A. It's now B on the Nintendo Switch version. You'd end up pressing A and, instead of selecting a unit or bringing up the game menu, you bring up the unit and tile information menu. Worse is if you're playing on Xbox (Or using an Xbox controller) and played FE before. The tutorial actually ends up displaying "A" every time it wants you to select, further motivating you to press the rightmost button rather than the bottommost, since A and B are switched on Nintendo and Xbox. a picture to help you understand◊ if you're not aware. | |

One-Man Army: Commanders are the most powerful units in the game and have good match-ups against practically every unit in the game; most low-tier units will, at best, deal around 10-15% damage to them. This is balanced by the Commader's defeat being an instant loss to its faction. | |

Leitmotif | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_9f6fb586 | comment |
Leitmotif: Each commander has their own theme, which will play when they are taking their turn. In missions where you control more than one commander, the dominant commander's theme plays (usually Mercia's or Emeric's), although both Requiem commanders override all commander themes in the Story mode, and Vesper's theme overrides all commander themes at the end of the Co-op campaign. | |

Dance Party Ending | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_a3c0c1df | comment |
In the co-op campaign, Sigrid and Sedge are nowhere to be seen, likely due to the fact that this campaign takes place after the main story, long after they have been slain for good. They are however featured in the Dance Party Ending in the credits for that campaign though. | |

Ascended Extra: In the default Wargroove campaign, the Outlaws are a mere Palette Swap of Cherrystone and have no commanders to speak of beyond a trio of spokesman mooks. Double Trouble, meanwhile, gives the Outlaws three unique commanders and even makes them the protagonist faction of their own campaign. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Mixed in with Tomato Surprise. The prologue of the game clearly shows Sigrid killing King Mercival, restarting the conflict between Cherrystone and Felheim. However, only near the very end of the game is it shown that Valder hadn't sanctioned the assassination. Mercia held Valder responsible for her father's murder and Valder wasn't even aware that one of his own had done it. When Sigrid reveals she started the war, Valder is outraged. | |

Don't Celebrate Just Yet: The war with Felheim ends when Mercia chases Sigrid to Cradle Island and slays her. Unfortunately, Sigrid had successfully opened Requiem's tomb before her death, and the protagonists decide that it can't be left to chance, so the final two missions are spent battling the Sealed Evil in a Can. | |

Arbitrary Weapon Range | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_b1c4bc94 | comment |
Arbitrary Weapon Range: Like in Advance Wars, non-infantry ranged units cannot attack adjacent units. Harpoon Ships and Warships need to be at least two tiles away from a target in order to attack, while Trebuchets and Ballista need only a one-tile clearance (and thus have no trouble attacking diagonally). | |

Alien Animals | |

Alien Animals: The codex heavily implies the florans are present on Aurania as an introduced species, delivered by a spaceship that crash-landed nine-hundred years before the story's beginning (remembered by history as a mysterious "comet"). Anyone familiar with Starbound probably isn't surprised by this, but the modern florans appear to have long forgotten this event. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Unlike Advance Wars, units don't need to restock on ammo for their weapons. This is justifiable for melee-focused units, but it also means Archers have an unlimited supply of arrows, et cetera. Double Trouble re-implements a variation of this mechanic as the Rifleman's gimmick; after a certain number of shots they must spend a turn to reload. | |

Aerith and Bob: A Downplayed Trope. The bandit leaders' real names (Greg, Neil, and Paul) are run-of-the-mill compared to everyone else in the series. However, in a feudal system like Cherrystone, it's not uncommon for the upper castes of nobles and the knighthood to have a different naming culture (see Theme Naming below) to the commoners. | |

Storming the Castle | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_b9f472b | comment |
Storming the Castle: Unlike in Advance Wars, buildings act more like units and have a health bar and the ability to counter-attack. A building reduced to zero health flips to neutral and can be instantly captured by any faction's infantry or commander. In the campaign proper, Caesar's first side-mission, and the second battle against Valder (as well as the True Final Boss) involves invading a castle using a relative handful of units. | |

Proud Hunter Race: They Florans are a primitive culture mostly interested in hunting, although it's less out of martial pride and more out of a love for "stabbing" and meat. According to flavor text, any outsider who sets foot in their territory is considered free game for hunting, unless the Greenfinger (a combination of shaman and chieftain) personally vouches for their presence. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One of Valder's lines when using Raise Dead is "Rise from your grave!" Similarly, one of Ryota's lines for Blade Dash is "You are already dead." Another one is "You'll never see it coming!". During the campaign, Ragna catches up to the party in the third act. She and her Vampire backup then introduce themselves by using the Ginyu Force's poses. Sedge's dance moves in the Jukebox. Koji's Jukebox dance heavily resembles the Carlton Dance. In their own Jukebox sprite, Errol and Orla perform the notorious Christmas dance from A Charlie Brown Christmas. Sigrid's gag line in the cutscene editor is to ask "What is a man..?" Valder's gag line is "Nothing personal, kid." | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: If an enemy kills a Thief that stole from them, they get the gold back. If the Thief is killed by its own side the gold goes to them as if it was deposited in a Hideout... unless the Thief was launched into water by Wulfar's Tee Off, in which case nobody gets the gold. (You don't exactly have time to recover it from the bottom of the ocean in the middle of a battle) Emeric warns you not to attack Valder in Act 1 Chapter 4 and just escape with the villagers. At the point he appears you're usually overwhelmed by enemies, but if you decide to do it anyway, he'll just laugh it off and heal back to full health. | |

Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": The codex has a handful of oddities like this. One that stands out is a mention of cinnamon mines that apparently waft their scent quite far. (In the real world, cinnamon is the inner bark of its namesake tree, which doesn't smell much stronger than any other tree.) | |

Anti-Frustration Features: Compared to the series it's inspired by, several units (especially Naval units) are far more affordable than their original counterparts. Some notable ones include Warships and Sky Riders, which are much less expensive than the Battleships and Fighters in Advance Wars. To put this to perspective, the most expensive units are the Trebuchets (Rockets), Giants (Medium Tanks), and Dragons (Bombers). | |

Anti-Structure: Knights, Trebuchets, Dragons and Warships are all capable of one-shotting buildings when they launch a critical attack (which, since buildings are stationary, is fairly easy for the former two). Spearmen cannot one-shot buildings, but do solid damage with another simple critical condition. There's also the Thief from Double Trouble, who when ransacking buildings will turn them neutral, bypassing its defences. | |

This includes skeleton swordsmen, pikemen, archers and the Ragna, a Frankenstien-like monster created from the corpses of history's greatest combatants. Far from mindless zombies, Valder's undead soldiers are capable of independent thought in his absence and are no less competent or intelligent than any living soldier. | |

All Animals Are Dogs | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_e70c45f0 | comment |
All Animals Are Dogs: To the point of being a Running Gag in the codex. It's understandable with the Floran Quagmutts, which are classed as a Dog unit, but becomes a bit of a joke when Cherrystone's dragons (units that stand in for bomber aircraft) are described as "really just big dogs". | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Floran, as usual. This complicates diplomacy during the campaign, though it's downplayed as their Greenfinger is a Reasonable Authority Figure, and Nuru is friendlier than your average Floran thanks to being part of a multicultural protectorate. This also creeps into their unit lore; for example, they don't traditionally domesticate their scouts and mounts, as it's a rite of passage to tame a wild one. | |

Crossover | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: The Florans are originally from Starbound. One of their commanders (Nuru) is stated to be a "visitor", and drops numerous hints she's the Nuru from that game. They appear to be slightly less stabbing-happy than their spacefaring counterparts this time around (in that they keep it to within their own borders). | |

Sidequest Sidestory | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_f23ffaf8 | comment |
Sidequest Sidestory: All the side quests canonically happen at the same time as the main storyline whether you play them or not; for example, Sedge is exiled by Zawan in an optional map where you play as Zawan and later shows up in the main storyline referencing the events of the optional map. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Wargroove (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: The Cherrystone characters have Latin names (Mercia, Emeric, Caesar and Mercival), Felheim's have Germanic/Nordic names (Valder, Ragna and Sigrid) and Heavensong's have Japanese (Tenri, Ryota and Koji). Averted with the Floran, who avoid their Starbound tendency of being named after plants or botanical terms (though Sedge is a plant related to grasses). Cacophony is tied to music-themed names, judging by Elodie (spoken to rhyme with "melody") and Requiem. | |

Buffy Speak: Many of the Floran Tribe's units are named like this ('Slasher', 'Stabber', 'Shooter', 'Floaty Thing', etc.). | |
