It does, and it's a very good game, but this feels like plagiarism with how similar it is -- artwork style, mechanics, even UI is essentially identical to the GBA games

"Plagiarism" does not mean what you think it means.
I think plagiarism is a bit far, but I definitely understand why others think your game is extremely derivative of Advance Wars. Could you elaborate on what makes your game special?
It expands on the formula with new units, buildings and gameplay elements like you’d expect from a new entry 20 years later. It also doesn’t take itself too seriously.
You can play on any device at any time, in sync or async games and interact with other players.
It comes with the exact same map and campaign editors we are using to build the game. You can collaborate with friends on a campaign and share them with anyone.
Hadn't heard of it --cool. Along the same lines, Eastern Front[0] was a turn based tactical game about 10 years earlier. I played it in the early 90s on an Atari. The OPs game and advance wars have much more in common, but certainly the derivation goes back a long way. Later on, Japan had a lot of these turn based tacticals that didn't make it to western markets. (Super Robot Wars is a series that had some titles sold in English but not most.)
