Advance Wars : Days of Ruin - Nintendo DS

Almost 90% of mankind has been killed off following a devastating meteor strike that has caused a massive dust cloud to blot out the sun. Scattered survivors pick through the wreckage, and the remnants of several military superpowers patrol the ravaged landscape, some factions protecting the innocent while the others prey upon them. The two rival world superpowers, Rubinelle and Lazuria, continue to fight among the ruins of their countries, the few surviving military leaders of each side carrying on the conflict begun before the catastrophe. In their wake, various warlords rise to power, seizing scarce food rations from the defenseless survivors and attempting to assert their dominance in the absence of law and order. Follow the Rubinelle COs Will, Brenner, and Lin as they embark on a mission to rescue as many of the survivors as possible, with the help of the mysterious Isabella, an amnesiac girl who seems to know vital military secrets, and various other sympathetic factions.

Turn-based battle system allows for confrontations between two to four armies, each headed by a commanding officer (CO), who take turns building and commanding units on grid-based maps.

Story plays out through 26 missions, with story scenes that tie the plot together occurring between and during the battles. In addition, around 30 training missions are Unlocked as the missions are completed.

Various weather conditions (which change the terrain effects of the entire map) affect each battle, as does the Fog of War, a phenomenon that prevents players from seeing enemy units other than those in the visual range of their units.

Ground, sea and air units available for command, including the new Motorbike, a highly Mobile motorcycle unit that can capture properties and the Flare, a new tank-like unit that can light up 13-square areas affected by the Fog of War.

Online multiplayer with 150+ maps for 2-, 3- and 4-player battles and voice chat available over Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection service.
