A whole battle world, not just an isle!

Battle Worlds: Kronos, a deep turn-based strategy game with very modern looks paired with old-school mechanics and hex-based presentation, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's $23.99 for the first week.

Over the course of human history, someone said that war never changes. That is untrue as war does change over time. It evolves slowly, with a sudden evolutionary jump sparked by technological advancement every now and then. What truly never changes, is human nature. From the moment one of our primate ancestors took a heavy stick to another primate's head, we have been a race of warriors. Or maybe, it began even sooner? So deep is our expertise in violence, so enthralling is the desire for power, that it seems to work at cellular level. No wonder, then, that we took war with us when we set off for the stars. Now, as the Emperor lies dead, the greatest succession war in the history of mankind begins.

If you're an old-time military strategy gamer, Battle Worlds: Kronos will bring back many of your fondest memories. The playfield alone, divided into countless orderly hexes, looks irresistibly familiar. Time-proven turn based mechanics allow for careful planning and provide room for the cleverest of stratagems. Two single-player campaigns provide up to 30 hours of challenge and satisfaction, further extended by special maps and--of course--multiplayer modes, including the oldie-but-goodie hot-seat option. Pair that with visuals absolutely perfect for a mid-range sci-fi strategy game, and what you get is a title no armchair general could possibly resist.

Bring order to the chaotic and dark times of the succession wars and lead humanity to victory--well, a part of humanity at least--in Battle Worlds: Kronos, for only $23.99 on GOG.com. The special release discount offer lasts until Tuesday, November 12, at 10:59AM GMT.
On a game card under min system requirements there is NO Windows XP.

Trilarion: Nice, but why the hassle with the CD key? Maybe I should also clap my hands and sing a song before I can play?

jamotide: That's only for online multiplayer.

It's really cheap here on gog, this is 17,76 Euro here, on the official Kingarts Website they charge 40 Euro for the version with the soundtrack.
So I only sing for Multiplayer too. ;)

Don't get me wrong. It looks like an awesome successor of a very nice strategic game series also available on GOG. I will for sure have it some time in the future. I must have it and will buy it most probably from GOG.

It looks like that it's $5 less at GOG than what Steam is selling the regular edition for, both with and without the discount. Somebody negotiated a good deal.

Come on backers, get to playing and writing reviews. Try not to overrate it like just about every other game around here is. :P
high rated
Am a backer. Waiting for my GOG.com k--oh, wait. I guess I don't actually have to wait for that. :P
Will everyone who backed this please stand up?

Glad to see this here
This looks really good!
Awesome deal GOG.Spreading the word :)
Happy for you turn-based players. If this was rts I'd go for it too. There's only little competiton to Starcraft :/
I would be interested in hearing how this compares to Fantasy Wars and Elven Legacy. Maybe someone played them and Kronos?

Not surprised, considering it is a new release.

Buying this game now. From GOG of course, I don't want to give the publisher the wrong signal that I'm fine with DRM, by buying it from e.g. Steam instead. Especially as they told they will become a completely DRM-free company, if the DRM-free version sells well enough.

I'm doing my part. :)
ARGH! No XP support! No sale!
It looks absolutely sweet and gorgeous, does it play like a wargame like battleisle ?
Anyone got a decent video of the gameplay?

It's got pretty low system requirements. It wouldn't surprise me if it indeed ran on XP just fine, even though it's not officially supported.
