    Flexing itself as an entry to a rather under-represented genre on Switch, Kronos scratches the itch of the turn-based strategy RPG fan. While not nearly as simple to pick up as WarGroove, the game has wonderful visuals and a fantastical setting, plopping you deep in the far reaches of space on this sci-fi war romp.

    The complex game play adds a difficulty element that isn’t unheard of for strategy games of this type, but the UI caused a bit more trouble with navigation during my play time. I did particularly enjoy the ramp up of the mission difficulty, and how the game’s AI was actually a joy to content with for those who enjoy tactical combat.

    The replayability for missions is decent, and while each mission can feel largely tedious to grind out, doing so rewards you with more medals and a higher sense of accomplishment. The difficulty is nothing to shake a stick at, and I had to replay some missions multiple times in order to scrape by with even a minuscule victory, but as my combat skills sharpened and I learned more of the intricacies of battle, I found myself carving out sound strategies many turns in advance on each map.

    Kronos would be a good title for anyone with a lot of time to dedicate to one sitting, and who doesn’t mind a loose story that’s not very immersive, but easy enough to follow along with.

    Pros:
    - Wonderful visual aesthetic.
    - Fantastic combat system.
    - Local multiplayer.

    Cons:
    - Missions can be excruciatingly long.
    - The user interface is clunky and hard to get used to.

    Overall: 7.5/10

    Battle Worlds: Kronos is a great game for anyone looking to take a crack at being a tactician in space. Don’t forget your oxygen tank.    … Expand

    In my opinion is a decent warlike game, turn based, where you manage different kind of units: land, navy and air army.

    Graphics and history are poor nowadays, but the game fulfills its purpose. The game has like 20-25 missions, that every mission take you from 4 to 8 hours, more or less. Having to manage 10-25 units in every missión is a little burdensome.

    I like that in every mission you "discover" a new unit, and you have to learn to use it.

    The game has some difficulty, unless you discover the order to complete each mission and some other tricks.    … Expand

    At a first glance, Battle Worlds: Kronos looks like a kind of spiritual successor to strategical titles such as Command & Conquer. It differs from the formula with its hex-layered grid and turn-based structure, but delivers a clunky and slow experience that doesn’t fit well with Switch’s portable capabilities.

    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.

    Battle Worlds: Kronos does its job of a strategy game competently, in a sector that's not very represented in the Nintendo Switch. While some elements are disappointing - the absence of the level creator and of an online multiplayer component are the main ones - the game does a decent work when it comes to its lifespan, combat system and local multiplayer component.
