Description
Battle Worlds: Kronos includes "Trains" DLC.

When the emperor of Kronos dies, the mighty Houses of the planet fight a ruthless war to settle the succession. The fraction that is able to seize control of the twelve holy temples and simultaneously light fires on each of them, appoints the new emperor and decides on the destiny of all.

In the latest war of succession the House of Telit used nuclear weapons for the first time, nearly destroying the planet in the process. Anyone that could afford it, fled to the neighboring planet Rhea, among them the newly elected emperor. Those left behind on the planet, have established a new civilization. They call themselves The Residents and refuse to accept that their recovering planet will be once again used as the arena of a bloody competition.

Battle World: Kronos is a classic turn-based strategy game in the tradition of Battle Isle, Advance Wars and Panzer General. Have you ever wondered what games like that would look like today? Well, we did. As a result, we decided to develope Battle Worlds: Kronos.

"Trains" DLC includes: four new unit types with new gameplay features, and diverse new tactical options; compeletely new singleplayer campaign (ca. 15 hours of play time!); two new multiplayer maps; one new challenge map.

  • Strong AI that will challenge even experienced commanders.
  • Online & community features (ladder, chat, achievements and - in early 2014 - tournaments).
  • Editor for user-generated maps (PC only).
  • Two single player campaigns (~30 hours), single player challenge maps & hot-seat mode.
  • Live multiplayer & asynchronous multiplayer (think "play by mail"), both cross-platform.

Note: This game may require additional serial key for multiplayer mode. In case it is not automatically generated in your GOG.com library (open it via website → select the game → More → Serial Keys), please reach out to our Support team.

From a subjective standpoint ...

I am a backer of this game. I liked the idea of a spiritual successor of Battle Isle and that's what BWK is. I don't need more polish on graphics, interface or a ton of video material. I am happy with this in-budget, in-time and in-quality work the devs promised. It might be not as complex as other titles or looks as good as a triple A game, but then again it does not cost 40+ bucks either. And yes - BWK is also a statement: TBS is NOT dead, dear mayor publishers! So sorry for this rather subjective review.

difficulty is ridiculous

Even the tutorial is nearly impossible to do, I want to play a game for fun, not save/load every klick and fight for every small success! For casual gamers avoid this, is every other game to easy for you, try it.

Good game!

Love the game. Wish they would make a sequel with modern game engines and units to scale.

played battle Isle 2220 since 1995

Bought this from a guy on ebay the day it was released and got snagged on about map 5 or 6. I tried every possible combination of moves and got disapointed! I was sooo excited that "someone, anyone" was going to do an old school TBS! Does anyone know if they ever made a patch for the game? I deliberately ran it in the easiest setting for the ability to: just enjoy....

Very disapointing.

Playing this game is a pain, the interface fights you every step of the way, everything little thing you try to do is just aggravating. Plus you now have to deal with text-trees in your TBS-game, just kill me already. Avoid this game! I know it looks pretty and cool-looking and you really just want your turn-based strategy fix but, it's just not worth it.
