What it is
Battle Worlds: Kronos is a turn-based strategy game from King Art Games. It offers two single-player campaigns, challenge maps, and multiplayer in both live and asynchronous forms. Live matches can be played online or by hot-seat; asynchronous matches store a round on a server for the opponent to take later. Cross-platform multiplayer is listed among its Steam features.
The game includes an AI opponent and a map editor for creating maps and missions, though the editor is Windows-only. The included Trains DLC adds a campaign, units, and multiplayer maps. Steam features also list achievements, trading cards, and Family Sharing. The game is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its modes include solo campaign play and multiplayer, while the asynchronous option lets players take time over their moves and continue a match later.
