\"Battle<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe you remembered or played one of Blue Byte’s sci-fi turn-based Battle Isle titles from the 90’s. Well, I haven’t, but I understand to have been a strategy gaming series of some importance at the time. At least in Germany and Europe it seems to have been the case.<\/p>\n

Now,\u00a0KING Art Games, an independent game developer from Germany, with some turn-based tactics and turn-based strategy enthusiasts, wants to make what seems to be a spiritual successor of the Battle Isle series. And, they also mention Advance Wars and Panzer General as sources of inspiration.<\/p>\n

So, KING Art Games is currently on Kickstarter<\/a> with a proposal for Battle Worlds: Kronos, a sci-fi turn-based strategy game with an emphasis on tactical combat. Gameplay seems to be mostly about unit-movement and action-points spending. You may move a unit twice, attack first and move afterwards or the other way around. Special units may attack twice if they haven’t moved.<\/p>\n

The type of terrain and amount of units surrounding a rival also have an effect on damage.\u00a0A target unit will fire back after it has been attacked. In the process a damaged unit will deal less damage than a full-health one. Distance also plays a factor, and some units can only attack the surrounding hexes while others may attack further and even prevent a counter attack. These rules seem to form the basis of combat.<\/p>\n
