Gameloft does Advance Wars with iPhone strategy game Rogue Planet

It could be argued Gameloft has been working its way through all the big game genres, coming up with generically titled iPhone versions.

There's been free-roaming/GTA clone Gangstar, FPS Modern Combat, with weapons beat'-em up Blades of Fury and, and Diablo action-RPG Dungeon Hunter.

All of which have been enjoyable games by the way.

Now we're in the slot of turn-based strategy games such as Advance Wars with Rogue Planet.

Developed by French outfit Agharta Studio, the game is set in the future with a spaceship returning to Earth after a 30 year mission.

As can be seen in the video below, the game seems to be a traditional mixture of unit movement, combined with cash resource management. You move your forces around the map with battles taking place in a separate one-on-one screen, before switching back to the normal isometric battlefield.

You'll be able to play as various characters from the ship: we're assuming each will have different attributes in terms of available cash and special attacks such as air strikes and missiles.

You'll also be able to take over buildings including factories to build more units.
