Immerse in Turn-Based Warfare: Athena Crisis Revives Advance Wars Legacy

Fans of tactical strategy games like Advance Wars and XCOM will find much to love in Athena Crisis, a new turn-based title from Nakazawa Tech, published by Null Games.

Athena Crisis boasts a charming retro aesthetic, featuring vibrant, almost pixelated 2D graphics. Enjoy seamless cross-progression across PC, mobile, browser, and Steam Deck, ensuring your progress is always synchronized.

Command Your Forces in Diverse Environments

Athena Crisis challenges you to command diverse units across seven distinct battle environments – land, sea, and air – each presenting unique strategic obstacles. Master the terrain to achieve victory!

The single-player campaign unfolds across 40+ maps, each teeming with unique characters that enrich the narrative. Multiplayer options include ranked and casual modes, supporting up to seven players online.

Endless Replayability with Custom Content

The built-in map and campaign editor unlocks near-limitless replayability. Create and share your own custom maps and campaigns with the community, offering a significant draw for strategy enthusiasts who value customization.

A Unique Unit Roster and Open-Source Elements
