Battle Worlds: Kronos

[*]Official web page: http://kingart-games.com/battle-worlds-kronos-is-back
[*]Developer: KING Art Games
[*]Genre: Turn Based Strategy
[*]Release date: December 2013
[*]Story/Description:

Quote:

The classic turn-based strategy – exciting, involved gaming that calls for long-term planning, clever tactics, transparent rules and tough decisions – is making a comeback. Many gamers may have seen and enjoyed recent examples of great turn-based gaming, but might not be aware of classics like Battle Isle or Advance Wars. Have you ever wondered what games of that calibre would look like today?

Staying true to turn-based strategy, Battle Worlds: Kronos is all about using your units and resources to the greatest possible effect. In order to win, you will need to consider factors like the positioning of units, attack range, armament and equipped upgrades.Victory or defeat - your tactics will decide.
All units in the game have a unique character, setting them apart from all other units and giving them well-defined strengths and weaknesses. You can further individualize them by assigning specific upgrades. Most units allow for two leveled upgrades, each with two options to choose from. The campaign sometimes allows you to take some of your victorious units with you and improve them over the course of several missions.




[*]Single Payer: Yes
[*]Multiplayer: Yes

Funny you should say that because the devs list one of their influences as battle isle. The "style" of battle isle was one of the reason that I backed it.

TBH they could have spent a bit more time on the SP campaign however it was focused on MP.

It's out already? That was fast.

Is it worth downloading or still in beta state? I hate playing unfished games; I never bother with the final version.

Just stumbled upon this game. Any recent opinions on this one?
I loved the first Battle Isle games.

I loved the Battle Isle games in its days - a series that got woefully ignored over the years. I bought Kronos but it's on my "to play list".
