Battle Worlds: Kronos

Battle Worlds: Kronos is a hex turn based strategy game in the style of Panzer General. The game creates a good setting and tells a story through text conversations on the battle field, the writing is good but for the genre there can be a bit too much of it and the presentation could be better, it is all unvoiced text with static image characters. You are dropped into a tutorial that does a good job explaining things for a little while, then seems to suddenly stop and you are left to find and read through menus to learn the rest. As usual for the genre, some units have ranged attacks, some units only attack adjacent units, bones damage can be done to surrounded units, and units counterattack when attacked. The campaign itself isn't very interesting as you are frequently very outnumbered with no interesting objectives to complete, rely more on the AI making mistakes to get you through the game and them being passive until you start to attack, and your ability to take promoted units with you into future stages. It's a good setting and the game looks good but it is held back by the campaign and AI design and it makes learning how to play more difficult than it has to.
