Battle Worlds: Kronos is a turn-based strategy game in which factions attempt to place a new emperor in charge through battles on hexagonal gridded maps. Gamers can take on AI foes in three single-player campaigns, experiencing the battles as either the technologically advanced Yerla faction or The Residents, rebels who engage in guerilla tactics. There are more than 50 different infantry, naval, and airborne units to deploy, many of which can be upgraded with new abilities. Players can also improve their skills on challenge maps, or take on friends in multiplayer skirmishes.
