Make War is a bit too rough around the edges to hold up solidly. Bad translation errors lead to incomprehensible dialogues and controls that will drive you up the wall keep this game from reaching its full potential, though what lies beneath is still enjoyable in itself and the concept is something we haven’t seen before. This one will probably do better on PC.

Critic reviews
- The pixel graphics were charming and the game ran nicely, for the most part. It didn’t lag, and the controls were responsive. It was just the sandbox mode that wouldn’t work for me and it felt that the quests didn’t always register even when I completed them over and over again. With that said, this game was too repetitive for me with little strategic thought.
- 5.0Some pretty cool ideas and fun battle set-ups are largely handicapped by bad controls, and the campaign needs some overhauling with its length and unlock structure. These small things get in the way of the simple fun of watching crazy battles unfold. Ultimately, there are only so many things to try before it starts to become boring. Largely the battles are its strength, and far too often the game trips up on itself, when it would be better served getting out of the way.
- Make War is a promising strategy game that is plagued by localisation issues. If you’re still interested in its unique simulation elements, I’d recommend playing it on PC to avoid the frustration of using a cursor on the Switch.
