At the most basic level, you can move up to an opposing unit and attack, with the pair exchanging fire, subtracting hit points from each one. In the campaign, you take on the role of an upcoming young commander of the great house Telit: the favourites to win the succession war.īattle Worlds: Kronos is a back-to-basics turn-based strategy game – set on a playing field divided into hexagons – in the venerable tradition of the Panzer General series. Clearly the arbiters of past succession wars have had time to carefully tune things after millennia of complaints one faction or another is OP and needs a nerf. It also might explain – unlike most strategy games – why the battles seem somehow balanced as if to give each side a chance of victory. This ceremonial war has strict rules to assure the life-or-death conflict is sportmanslike, such as a ban on chemical weapons.


The imperial homeworld of Kronos, however, takes this callous mentality to a whole new level, as the entire planet is designated as a giant battlefield where the great families fight to determine who the next emperor is. War seems like a game to some politicians, who use it to gain power and galvanize the populace into patriotic obedience.
