- Lin's Theme
Memories:

Ah yes, Days of Ruin. The second best Advanced Wars game, only losing out to the true king, Battalion Wars II. Another IS game with some chick named Lin and some dude nicknamed the Beast that I played a bit too much as a kid. Always had a good time with it, despite getting trashed by my buddy's Isabella after school.

When I saw the E3 stream, it unlocked a memory that is very faint.

It will always baffle me why the only story mission where we got to use Gage was one where he had no naval units or indirects, A.K.A his entire speciality.

One of the best Days of Ruin songs, the game seriously had the best music out of the entire franchise.

I wish The Beast from campaign was a CO. Always felt like he should've been a spiritual successor to Sami and have him have capture game related traits and abilities (cause hes a raider).

The major issue with Advance Wars is that Japanese gamers love grinding and games that are styled like JRPGs. Advance Wars doesn't have units for you to get attached to and level up like Fire Emblem does, so Fire Emblem won out. They never even got Days of Ruin in Japan. I think Codename STEAM also could have been a test run for Advance Wars on the 3DS, but Codename STEAM really tanked hard, so that threw any chances of an Advance Wars game out the window. Its a real shame too, cause this was one of the best strategy games I've ever played.

Regarding the fact that Lin's power increases vision by 2, I think you forgot to mention in the video (I didn't double-check) that FOW in Days of Ruin functions differently as in previous installments; when a unit moves around the map, every space along the traveled path that is within the vision range of that unit gets revealed for the remainder of that player's turn (even hiding places get revealed if the traveled path is adjacent to them, if I remember correctly). This means that units with big vision ranges can reveal a huge chunk of the map when moving. So, in my opinion, this makes increasing vision by 2 even more powerful in Days of Ruin than in previous games.

One of the best themes. It feels like it synergizes more with the EU name.

Also, if I remember correctly, isn't Caulder so intentionally broken that the game simply doesn't allow you to pick him in Multiplayer? Good thing, too, since he'd have to be banned by the community anyway for his comically huge advantage over everyone else. He's an endgame big bad designed to be overcome with teamwork and overwhelming numbers, not something designed to be fair in a 1v1 fight where everyone has equal resources. You can play him against the AI, but at that point you're basically just on a power trip, so it doesn't really matter.

Don't forget that it may also fall into the 3ds, depending on if they felt like it or not. The same has to be said for golden sun. #GoldenSunGameNow

It was not that long ago in my head… my childhood is over and I’ve awakened to find the world before me burning. Funny how this song always seems to pop up for me though, even when I haven’t played the game or even mentioned it in 12 years.

I may be alone on this, but I actually prefer Days of Ruin's graphics over the classic series. I get that most people scoff at gray-brown aesthetics because they feel too Call-of-Dutyiesque, but when I think of war games, I really don't like cartoonish graphics. Maybe if Days of Ruin had more greenery it could be both more realistic as well as more colorful, but remember that it's a plot point that the athmosphere was altered.

I remember getting this game for Christmas in 2001, and being disappointed that it wasn't an RTS (like C&C), but it grew on me. Especially, when I saw Sami and heard her theme song. ^.^

I actually liked Days of Ruin more than the other games. It felt like the old games told there nice little story and with dual strike overstayed there prime. Days of ruin was something fresh mature and the themes of the Co's were crazy good. I would love to see another game like that.

I love Days of Ruin, but I think I just looked at the logo for the first time, it looks like a horror shovelware game for the wii
