I never played the game that started this genre.(BattleIsle) Ive played Field Commander on PSP and a game called Dai Senryaku VII: Modern Military Tactics that was released on original XBOX. I loved both those games. Bottom line on Kronos is this. If you like turn based, hex map strategy games, you will enjoy this. Its a bit expensive at 30$(I got it for 10$ during sale) The publisher(KING Art) seems to be doing a good job paying attn to the players and providing timely updates and changes. They respond quickly to technical issues as well(for me less than 12 hours with a working solution) There is online multiplayer with 'matchmaking' and the ability to 'play by mail'...finding online matches is not at all difficult. Graphically the game looks very good. the UI is a bit clumsy, but not terribly so. There are some control options I wish they would add(like being able to slave non isometric zoom to the mouse roller, right now U have to use PgUP/PgDwn keys to zoom in with out loosing the 'birds eye view') If you enjoyed BattleIsle 1-3, Panzer General or other such games you'll like this, and may love it...either way, its a well put together game with lots of possibilities and very good publisher support at the moment...
