  These small flaws keep Battle Worlds: Kronos from being as good as it could have been. While the interface quirks take some getting used to and the campaign difficulty may turn some off, there’s definitely enjoyment to be had here for fans of the turn-based strategy genre.

  Whilst I can’t justify anyone purchasing this title, there was effort put in at least… The developer’s pride for an Advance Wars style game shined through, which I can appreciate. It has its issues whether it be a cluttered user interface, bad graphics, and similar environments, which can make it easy to overlook this title, and I can’t say you’d be missing much. If you are an Advance Wars fan, you might want to try looking elsewhere, that is, if you can’t overlook these points of concern (a good starting place might be Chucklefish’s latest hit – Wargroove).

  It’s hard to recommend Battle Worlds: Kronos on Switch to anyone but those that are really desperate for a turn-based strategy game on Switch -and if you are, keep in mind that there is a new Fire Emblem on the horizon. The issues with the limited AI could be avoided by engaging with other real players but even then you’re still stuck with a counterintuitive control scheme and a confusing, cluttered interface.

  Battle Worlds: Kronos is a game I desperately wanted to like. I’m a huge fan of Panzer General, Advance Wars, and Battle Isle, the game that inspired this one, and I was really hoping this would deliver a similar experience. Sadly the end result is uneven at best, with solid gameplay held back by mission design that runs counter to the gameplay style, and difficulty spikes that can end your carefully planned strategies with one cheap trick.

  Battle Worlds: Kronos is completely functional, even good by indie standards, but it just made me want to play other games. The story is not gripping and the neither is the gameplay. Playing Kronos feels more like work then leisure. Like data entry, but with tanks. Move the units down one more cell, subtract losses, write an algorithm for victory in two to three hours.

  All in all Battle Worlds Kronos is bland and boring. Unless you are chasing the nostalgia of the Battle Isle games you should probably explore other turn based strategy options.
