About this game
LEGO Battles is a real-time strategy game based on the popular building brick toy line, incorporating three LEGO themes: Castle, Pirates and Space.
The game's main story mode consists of six campaigns (two per theme world), depicting both sides of each conflict: King and Wizard (featuring Undead, Dwarves and Trolls), Pirates and Imperials (featuring Islanders and Ninjas) and Humans and Aliens (featuring Space Police and criminals).

Humorous cutscenes in the style of other TT Games LEGO titles illustrate the storyline.
Only the King campaign is accessible from the start, the others have to be unlocked.
A campaign consists of three acts of four to six missions each.
Gameplay follows the standard RTS template: players have to explore the map (there is a fog of war feature) and harvest resources (i.e.
LEGO bricks) to build bases and units in an attempt to defeat the enemy.
Most missions require the destruction of either all enemy units or the enemy base, but there are also some other goals like timed defense missions.
While the details differ between the themes and factions, the general types of structures and units is the same for all sides.
Units include builders (for harvesting and construction/repair of buildings), infantry, ranged and mounted soldiers, transport ships and various specials (artillery, ships, aircraft and extra-powerful units like giants, golems and tanks).
A special kind of unit is the hero.
Heroes are very strong, automatically heal friendly units around them and have various special powers (magic or ESP).
Buildings include farms (needed to supply units), barracks for constructing normal and factories for heavier units, mines and lumber mills (or equivalents) for increased resource production, harbors for ship construction and a main base building that creates the hero unit.
The game is mainly controlled via the lower screen of the DS.
Here the game map is displayed in detail, and commands are given via a stylus-based point-and-touch interface.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks LEGO Battles for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding LEGO Battles to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2009.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
