==Gameplay== | ==Gameplay== | ||
Gameplay in ''Star Fox Command'' is far more rooted to the styles of ''Star Fox 64'' than ''Star Fox Assault'' was. The levels start out with a turn-based movement system similar in style to ''Advance Wars''. Players are marked by Arwings, enemies are marked by red dots, and bases are marked by small building sprites. This is very similar to the map system from ''[[Star Fox 2]]''. "Fog of War" covers the field and the player can remove a certain amount of the fog once every turn. A player's flight path must intersect with that of an enemy to engage in battle. After engaging, the battle goes to a fully 3-D "All-Range Mode" stage. Here, the player uses the stylus to move their ship about and perform various maneuvers, while they can use any of the face buttons to fire their main weapons. | Gameplay in ''Star Fox Command'' is far more rooted to the styles of ''Star Fox 64'' than ''Star Fox Assault'' was.
