retroed Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Nintendo has announced a new turn-based strategy game for 3DS called Code Name: STEAM, due out in 2015. (STEAM stands for Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace). It's developed by Intelligent Systems, maker of the much-loved strategy series Advance Wars, with a team lead by Wario Ware: Smooth Moves' Paul Patrashcu and with art from Takaki Sakai, who previously worked on the Fire Emblem series. Code Name: STEAM adopts a steampunk style, mixed in with elements of classic American comic books, and places you in charge of a fireteam founded by Abraham Lincoln seeing off an invading alien force. The turn-based action sees players taking a more direct role, controlling characters who have action points. It plays like a mix of Firaxis' XCOM: Enemy Within and Sega's Valkyria Chronicles. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-06-12-nintendo-announces-3ds-game-codename-steam Looking forward to this a lot.

retroed Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 I wasn't a fan of Paper Mario: Sticker Star, but other than that I can't think of anything I've played by them that I didn't like. I guess this means we won't be seeing Advance Wars 3DS any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiofloyd Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Code Name: Steam gets a "Recommended" review from Eurogamer. If the game is half as interesting as that review makes it sound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
