Our take on Battle Worlds: Kronos
Its defining structure is asynchronous multiplayer: each round is stored on a server, allowing opponents to take turns at separate times rather than sharing one live session.
What is Battle Worlds: Kronos?
Battle Worlds: Kronos is a turn-based strategy game with two single-player campaigns offering about 50 hours of gameplay.
Separate challenge maps present combat scenarios and record progress. Multiplayer supports live internet matches, cross-platform play, and hot-seat sessions, while asynchronous matches store each round on a server for opponents to take turns later. Online features include leagues and chat. The game also includes computer-controlled opponents intended to challenge experienced commanders and a Windows-only editor for creating maps and missions. The included Trains DLC adds a campaign of about 15 hours, new units, and additional multiplayer maps. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes two PDF manuals and a soundtrack containing 10 original tracks.
