About Athena Crisis/How it Differs From Genre Classics

Athena Crisis is a modern retro turn-based strategy game that puts you in command of 40+ ground, naval, air and special units. Play through multiple single-player campaigns and measure yourself against others in sync and async online multiplayer. You can unlock player skills and unit powers, or design your own maps and campaigns. Fans of Advance Wars or Fire Emblem will feel right at home in Athena Crisis!

Athena Crisis features invasions that turns single-player campaign missions into player vs player battles, with up to 7 people! Players can choose to activate a Power Crystal for an attack increase, which opens an inter-dimensional portal for friends to join – but also leaves it open for invaders to battle you.

Highlights

Free Demo: Play the free 10-Map Prequel Campaign before unlocking the full game.
Single & Multiplayer: Immerse yourself in solo campaigns or challenge others in PvP battles – and even play campaign maps with or against other players through invasions.
Buy Once, Play Anywhere: A single purchase unlocks Athena Crisis across all platforms — no microtransactions, ever.

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

Create and share maps and campaigns, and play high-quality community campaigns.
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 the game so others can join in on improving Athena Crisis, or using it as a basis for their own ambitious project.
