Thank you so much for playing LEGO Battles! So happy you like our game! We had so much fun making it! ❤❤❤

I have so many fond memories of this game. My favorite campaign was the Mars Mission one. I really wish that Lego would have made more rts games. Sure there was that Rock Raiders game, but that was before my time. I really hope that with Travelers Tales losing their exclusivity license we get to see more games like this. That would be fun.

It really hurts that this game doesn't have more videos on it

Damn the soundtrack brings back so many memories of sneaking out of church services to go play lego battles with my friend

Something I love about Lego battles is the fact that playing the other side in the war isn’t just a generic evil playthrough. The leaders range from unabashedly good and best and evil yet sympathetic at worst. King is a noble man just trying to protect his kingdom from the hordes of the undead. Wizard is trying to gain magic power to resurrect his dead lover. Brickbeard and his crew seek an ancient treasure and defend native islanders from an invading imperial occupation. Broadside is sent in to hunt down a roaming criminal of the seas. Gemma and Biff simply stumbled upon a power source that earth can benefit from and wants to stop a potentially deadly alien force from exploiting it. And Alien Commander and his hive are simply stranded on Mars and desperately want to leave but a corporation see them as a threat to their mining operations. All of this more or less being communicated through a handful of simple but effective cutscenes. The game doesn’t give you enough to make you deeply care about these leaders in a personal level but you are given enough to kind of know what they’re about and why they are fighting who they are. Obviously it’s a Lego strategy game so In the grand scheme it doesn’t matter too much, but I always loved as a child never needing to be forced to play “the bad guys”

As a kid, by FAR the most frustrating level in the entire game was the final level of Act 2 for the Pirates Campaign, I forget its name but it was easily the highest difficulty spike in the entire game, you had to survive entire swarms of enemy units from at least 3 different directions, for 8 entire minutes. This single level was probably 10% of my entire time spent playing the campaign, but yeah at least the Pirate music slaps....

It took me years to realize that each one of the eras represent the three earliest Blizzard Entertainment RTS, namely, Warcraft, Tides of Darkness, and Starcraft.

It's crazy and sad to realize that it's almost going to be 14years since I last touched the game.. I'm now gonna be 25. Wow....I loved this game as a kid. I 100% completed it in a week as I would stay up most of the night even on school nights just to beat the campaigns and find all the collectibles.

This was my first RTS game and i instantly fell in love with the genre. There's something so deeply satisfying to my brain about being a commander in charge of whole armies, setting them against the enemy, and i trace that fully to lego battles

From my memories and the experiences other people recount, it actually seems like the difficulty was really well tuned to the game's target audience. It was a very solid level of challenge for a kid imo, but still manages to be a good time as an adult.

I'll never forget visiting my grandma as a kid and she had this game for me. Seems like a lifetime ago man, time sure flies. I'd love to see another Lego battles game, but that'll never happen.

As someone who's been replaying lego battles lately I can say this it's been a fun ride playing it again

Really one of my favorite games growing up! Campaign was awesome and playing against my brothers in the car was always great. I would always have fun making a secondary base just in case and usually spending more time on it so my main base would get destroyed lol. Great video! :D

As someone who plays RTS games that are considered traditional, I'll say that the ability to choose your roster between the different civs' units rather than choosing civs with a specific spread of units, so to speak, with the civs mostly differing in gameplay and a few exclusive units (i.e. in Age of Empires III, the Germans play a primarily cavalry-focused game that has them being shipped their exclusive cavalry unit, the Uhlan, while the Dutch have banks that let them basically generate gold) is rather unique.

I used to play lego battles with my brother and we banned Agent Chase alongside Space criminal leader, because hotwire is so broken. Other times we would use the hotwire glitch to capture our own heroes. But using the glitch on builders were my favourite since you could have flying and fire breathing boats which looked so bizarre. Love this game so much.

12 years without seeing the graphics, listening to the music or the effects, pure nostalgia, lovely game. Thanks

This is so nostalgic, both the music and the general design/vibes of this era of Lego

Im shocked that this game has a nostalgic video for it, I havent even met another person who even encountered a single rts for the ds at all, let alone the lego one!

Honestly, having an RTS as good as this for a small Handheld like a DS was insane and I shall always cherish my copy. Also, I wish we had a Dune port for DS, this is proof it would work.

Man I remember this game for some reason. The game kept on getting corrupted somehow it didn’t work properly

Ah, LEGO Battles. The game that introduced me to real-time strategy. 😊 And long before I got into RTSs about two years ago to boot.

Great video, from how good this game is I expected to see more videos reviewing the game, but yours is actually the first video that (to my knowledge) has summed up this game pretty well. This video was definitely worth the wait

The sad thing is that I just didn't get 100% through the game because I didn't know anyone to play a 3 player game let alone win one...

The game is one of my childhood favorites. sad that i never had the chance to play with someone who was actually good at it. Lego ninjago wasn't as good as lego battles tbh. The fun part was when you get to hack your opponents units with that alien criminal doing that glitch🤣 but great video btw🫶🏻🤙🏻

Now this takes me back. When this came out I was young enough to want to play it, but also old enough to recognise the returning characters from Lego Racers. I have fond memories of sweeping the map with a squad of Grav runners, or loading a massive force into four transport ships and launching a mass invasion on the enemy base. If anyone tells you they miss the days when Lego games weren’t all the same, show them Lego Battles. It’s easily the best Lego game of that particular era.

The detail in this video and the nostalgia this brings is just insane and u deserve thousands more subs

I’ve never heard of you, I’ve never seen any of your other videos, but seeing the words “Lego battles “with the words “best RTS game “ together in the title immediately not only earned you a like but a subscription from me

Thank you for making this video, this game is underrated and deserves some more love than it got, I have fond memories of playing this game and always wished that made either a sequel or a re-boot of the game on a modern console or PC. One of my First experiences into RTS genre and helped me love the genre.

Dude well done! You just reminded me of a core childhood memory! Played the hell out of this the Christmas year it came out, but never realized how hard the ost was😂

Awesome video! I'm happy to hear someone else loved this game as much as I did as when I spoke to some friends about it they either hadn't heard of it or just didn't like the game. Now I want to replay this game after watching this video. :)

BRUH I got this game when it came out. I still love it. The soundtrack is beautiful, the stories are surprisingly good, and I'm pretty sure the music also drastically affected my music tastes. Glad to see someone finally made a video covering it. ^.^

Amazing video bro, so glad to see someone’s giving this game the respect it deserves!

Be blessed for making this video about one of my childhood games. Sincirly: a OG who played it back in 2009

Oh wow, I used to play this all the time. Completely forgot about it until seeing this.

There's so much that can be said about this game I love it so much it was my childhood as well :)

ACTUALLY MY CHILDHOOD. used to play this in like 2013/14 on the DS and my 3DS and i couldn't complete any of the campaigns 100% so i just set up custom matches between me and AI lol. thanks for covering this

LEGO battles is a fantastic game, I love the wide variety of units to control in that game, the story in the three eras is somewhat simple but very interesting, I have never played in multiplayer, but at least I can play alone in addition to offering a wide variety of maps for free battles. In my opinion it is the best LEGO game for the nintendo DS.

I’m endlessly happy that so many other people enjoyed this game. Felt like a fever dream but I had so much fun playing this as a kid. Me and my step brother both had a copy and we’d play the vs. mode all the time. I beat all the campaigns multiple times

Great Video and you got my Sub^^

I loved playing this game when i was younger. i specifically remember getting the ranged units in the earth campaign and going nuts building lots of them

Thank you for reminding of this classic game on ds. I will probably play through my old copy for old times.

The music from the first King level put chills down my back! Gawwdd I loved this game so much

the hardest level is absolutely one of the first where you have to find the map hidden in the level🤣that has my child self stuck for about a year till a mate helped me out

Probably one of the greatest games ive ever played.

I’m pretty sure these two games taught me how to strategize as a kid while I was waiting for appointments and recitals and stuff

i completely forgot this game existed, thanks for giving me back my memories

Dude I also have so many memories of this game from my childhood. In Germany the game was realeased with the name "Lego Strategie" which means "Strategy" obviously, instead of "Lego Kämpfe" which would stand for "Battles". Thx for this awesome video, wish I could go back in time :( Greetings from Germany 🙌🏻

This game was actual peak, the multiplayer was so much fun and will never forget my heated battles against my brother haha

U just unlocked a part of my brain I haven’t seen in a decade

Nice video Artie. I loved this game as a kid. I remember playing wirelessly with a friend of mine who moved away at a young age.

when i first got my DSi Christmas 2009 one of my first games was lego battles and i have to say this game was brilliant and took up a large chunk of my childhood

You mentioned “Stand Fast” and ai got flashbacks…. that was quite the level

both lego battles and ninjago where such big part in my life and my current obsession with rts's and videogames and its amazing to see someone cover these games

lego batlles was one of my favourate games as a child on the DS definetly LOVED it, so many good memories, I also played so much of the ninjago games

I couldn't figure out this game at all when I was a kid so I'm glad I can look back now and see how the game was actually supposed to be played

dow dark crusade will always be in my heart

Played this on my friend's 3ds and kept wanting to go back and play more. Lovely little rts that made me want to buy a ds just for that game (unfortunately I never did :( ). For your efforts, you sir get a subscriber.

I adored this game. So so much. The stories were amazing

I think I gave this game away or something because I don't have it anymore. I remember having fun hotwiring the enemy hero or just dumping a massive army into the enemy's base using flying ships.

Oh hey I remember this game, a friend of mine owned it back in the day I loaned it for a while but it didnt leave such a big print on me maybe due to our family computer had at the time Age of Empires 2 and 3 on it and some other older RTS games which satiated my lust for that

loved the Mars Mission RTS game

This game was my childhood, the music is still so nostalgic.

Damnnnn this takes me back. Fricking loved that game, played it on the ds for days

Hey. What timing. I literally dug this exact game out of my collection to start replaying it yesterday.

This is true

I still have the game along with Lego battles ninjago to this day thanks for the nostalgia!

Played this game a ton with my friend on DSI. We would battle in multiplayer but instead of fighting all the time we would make a full story with main characters and go on little adventures and stuff. We would use builders as civilians because they wouldn’t fight each other, and some of the transport ships also wouldn’t attack one another I’m pretty sure

Bro this game made me love RTS games since I was little , I remember playing this when I was around 10 so circa 2013.

I love this game so much. I was describing it to my friend recently and he got me into Age of Empires. The only thing id say lego battles really had going for it over Age of Empire, is the feature where you could swap each person in your army to be any faction you want it to be

My lord this game took my childhood to new heights on the 3d back in my day!

Holy shit im not the only one. Gonna relive this on PC

I genuine thought this game was a fever game, a figment of my imagination from my childhood. Then I had a sudden urge to see if it was real or not through research. Hearing all the old sounds gave me the craziest nostalgia since I haven’t played this game on my ds in probably a decade

Disfrutamos tanto de este juego que se nos fue nuestra infancia para siempre

Great game and vid !

I couldn't find anything on this game it was my childhood thank you so much for putting attention on it

This was the first game I ever 100%, the red bricks... all the maps... secret heroes... I'd pay a lot for a new similar style.

My childhood! I remember linking up with friends and battling each other on our DS's!

Omg core memory unlocked, I forgot this game even existed

Fav game of all time I think, this is why I'm obsessed with Castle's fantasy era sets. I recently ordered a troll and a dwarf minifig on bricklink because of nostalgia for this game.

Oh my word, I've never seen anyone talk about this game and it was SO GOOD!

Congratulations on remembering this great game.

Am I the only one who was scared by this game? The music was very creepy in an Evil Angelic way and the enemy ai hiding in the unexplored fog was ominous

Loved this game as a kid, stil do even tho you can cheese many of the missions by just taking your time before going to the first objective and cut every tree in sight. The OST is incredible.

The soundtrack of this game lives in my mind forever. And this game got me into rts games. It had no right being as good as it was!!

So amazing to see this game covered i played this so so much as a kid and 100% completed it alot too. The story missions are very good and its fun to unlock all the characters! The touch screen controls these days if your playing on original hardware are quite annoying at times and theres been several times where ive accidently pressed the wrong command or had my characters be unresponsive. I enjoyed multiplayer as a kid when i played with my friends, but i have to honestly say that the one thing that really put me off was the performance. If your playing with another pereon, the game just seemed to run very slowly once you engaged each other in battles. Apart from the above, very enjoyable game!

Stand fast was so hard, I had to use my red bricks on it

Used to wireless this with my friend such a great rts honestly

I need to play this again... I think I still have this somewhere, both the DS and the game. And the Ninjago battles game as well.

I do remember hundred percenting this game when I was younger. Its also on my "non-pokemon DS games I boot up occasionally" shelf. Good game for sure.

I played this game so much as a kid, one of the first games I got when my parents bought me a DS Lite for Christmas

Bruh I found this game on my shelf recently and realized I barely played it. While the controls feel a bit basic compared to the more fluid controls of stuff like 40K: Dawn of War or Star Wars: Empire at War or Age of Empires, the game seems like a great introduction to RTS gameplay for younger players, and is a fun time for people more familiar with it. Also good video btw, keep up the good work.

-mission called great library -ball crushing defense objective Someone’s a myth fan

Lego battles and Lego ninjago were so much fun when I was a kid I absolutely loved Lego battles

Man I can’t believe it’s been over 7 years since I last played it

Favorite childhood game pirates were soo much fun still play it for memories.

Lego Battles was lit, It was my first rts game didnt really think I would like it but I got hooked.

10:25 that’s a funny way to say “Cash Cow.” Seriously, Ninjago, City, and Star Wars have been around for a VERY long time. I remember being in 3rd or 4th grade and talking with my friends at recess abi it what we all thought would happen next in the Ninjago show.

I just remembered this game exists and now I NEED to find my old ds and original copy and PLAY It!!!

I found a copy of this game at a dollar store for only like $10 a few years back, and I've been very glad that I bought it ever since.

It has been around 3 years since i found my cartridge. I used it so much, the Logo peeled off of the cartridge. It was one of the first DS games I've ever played. I got it in 2013, so I've has it for over a decade.
