About Athena Crisis/How it Differs From Genre Classics

You’ll be right at home in the world of Athena Crisis if you’re a fan of Advance Wars and seeking freshened up take on the genre classic. This modern-retro turn-based strategy game presents a gripping single-player campaign filled with quirky characters, alongside ranked and casual online multiplayer modes that keep you on your toes.

Athena Crisis expands the classic turn-based strategy genre with modern features such as:

A robust map editor for those who love crafting custom worlds, and a full campaign editor for creating your own adventures.
Options to create, share, and play endlessly creative maps and full-blown campaigns with friends and a strong online community, ensuring a constant stream of new challenges.
Instant cross-progression between PC, iOS/Android, browser and Steam Deck (Verified). Pick up right where you left off no matter where you are!
Faster gameplay and fewer stalemates to keep each match fresh and exciting.
Blending classic modern military units with fantastical characters such as powerful Bazooka Bears, manipulative Zombies, and all-powerful Dragons.
Chill and friendly vibes and music for a welcoming atmosphere, while remaining deep enough for genre veterans to sink their teeth into.

Athena Crisis is built in Javascript, unlocking a host of possibilities for the developer to create features, balance units and push updates almost instantaneously. Developer Nakazawa Tech has also open-sourced parts of the game so others can join in on improving Athena Crisis, or using it as a basis for their own ambitious project.
