Warbits Plus is the definitive spiritual successor to Advance Wars that mobile gamers have been waiting for. It takes the pitch-perfect turn-based strategy of the original and modernizes it with a clean, high-refresh-rate UI and robust online features. The tactical depth is immense, but the game hides it behind a charming, vibrant aesthetic that makes even a crushing defeat feel somewhat cheerful.
What truly elevates the 'Plus' version is the cross-platform play and the map editor. The community-made content is already staggering, providing an endless supply of challenges once you finish the meaty single-player campaign. The balance between unit types—tanks, air units, and infantry—is handled with surgical precision. There's no 'winning move' here; success requires constant adaptation to the terrain and your opponent's fog-of-war maneuvers. It's a masterclass in strategy design.
Dinsun here. Now this is more like it. I’ve been waiting for something to capture the magic of Advance Wars without the predatory fluff, and Warbits Plus is it. It’s a pure game of skill and tactics. There are no 'level-up' bonuses you can buy; you win because you were smarter than your opponent. Period.
The 20-mission campaign is meaty and teaches you the ropes effectively, but the real meat is in the multiplayer. The cross-platform support is a huge win, ensuring a healthy player base. The visuals are clean, charming, and most importantly, readable. It doesn't try to be flashy; it tries to be a great strategy game, and it succeeds. If you have even a passing interest in tactics, this is an essential purchase. It’s the best money I’ve spent on the App Store in years.
Performance: Flawless performance; very low battery drain.
Buy if: You want a fair, skill-based strategy game reminiscent of Advance Wars.
Skip if: You prefer real-time action or want 'pay-to-win' shortcuts.
Available on: iPhone, iPad, iPod

In the early game, ignore the enemy units and focus entirely on capturing neutral cities with your infantry. Cities provide the 'funds' needed to build heavy units like Mega Tanks. Heavier units usually win wars, but you need the economy to support them.
Risky Lab Inc has announced that Warbits+ is now in open beta, with pre-registrations still underway until September 20th.

Always check unit ranges. Artillery can fire from a distance without taking counter-damage, but they are defenseless if a scout or tank closes the gap. Use transport units to move slow infantry quickly to high-value capture points.
