San Francisco, June 2nd, 2023 | Null Games announced today that it’s publishing Athena Crisis, a modern retro turn-based strategy game developed by Nakazawa Tech KK that places you in command of distinct units including infantry, tanks, and air forces in your journey across multiple worlds!
Athena Crisis aims to bring aspects of best-in-class turn-based strategies like Into The Breach, Advance Wars, and XCOM into a thrilling single-player campaign as well as ranked and online multiplayer modes…with a twist! Actions undertaken in your game world can echo across to other players’ experiences, and vice versa - creating a dynamic, interconnected universe.
Complete with a map editor for those who love crafting custom worlds and a campaign editor for creating your own adventures, players can create, share, and play Athena Crisis maps and campaigns with friends or a vast online community, ensuring a constant stream of new challenges. Assemble your forces, defeat your foes, and secure victory across multiple changing worlds!
Chris Wanstrath, founder of Null Games, says, “The turn-based strategy genre is timeless, with many old games still just as fun today as the day they were released. Athena Crisis takes this classic formula and puts its own unique twist on it, both in terms of style and substance. I’m super excited to start playing Athena Crisis matches online against friends and foes, and as someone who grew up with map and campaign editors, I’m really looking forward to seeing what new adventures await beyond the awesome single player campaign. We’re honored to partner with Christoph and Nakazawa Tech to help bring Athena Crisis to Steam and mobile in 2024.”
