Battle Worlds: Kronos

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.

Is Battle Worlds: Kronos wholly original? No. Is it fun despite that? With a real person, yes. It's far too generic for its own good, but it does manage to take the turn-based strategy formula and advance it just enough it for a modern audience. Battle Worlds is in need of serious polishing and won't satisfy die hard strategy fans with its meandering single player, but an engaging multiplayer and genre familiarity keep things fresh for at least a few hours.

Beneath Battle Worlds: Kronos' archaic veneer is a strangely satisfying strategy game. Just make sure you’re the right candidate for the job before buying in.
