Gameplay

Following 200 years of peace, two opposing political factions are competing for control of a vacant throne in a far-off region of the galaxy. The game is a turn-based computer wargame played on a hex grid. The player controls a small army of ground, sea, and air units and must complete various objectives. These include escorting important units, defending positions, and capturing enemy headquarters.

Each unit has multiple actions per turn. Some units have a move and attack option, while others have wild cards for extra moves or attacks. The main part of the game is the campaign mode which consists of three storylines.

Reception

According to Metacritic, a review aggregator, Battle Worlds: Kronos received "mixed or average" reviews from critics.

TouchArcade summarized: "With so much content, story, replayability and generally fun gameplay this game would benefit massively from just a little bit of love from the developer to tighten up a few weak spots." Nintendo Life said: "While ultimately less accessible than the likes of Wargroove (which taps into that Nintendo-centric DNA of Advance Wars far better), Battle Worlds: Kronos does a decent job of bringing a more complex and challenging take on turn-based hex strategy." Nintendo World Report concluded: "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."
