Null Games has announced that it will publish a modern retro turn-based strategy game named Athena Crisis, which is developed by Nakazawa Tech KK. The game, which is set to release in 2024, will feature gameplay reminiscent of successful turn-based strategy games like Into The Breach, Advance Wars, and XCOM. The game sets itself apart with its interconnected universe feature, where actions taken in one player’s game world can impact other players’ experiences.
The game will feature a single-player campaign and online multiplayer modes alongside a map editor for creating custom worlds and a campaign editor for player-created adventures. Players will command distinct units such as infantry, tanks, and air forces across different worlds.
Founder of Null Games, Chris Wanstrath, expressed excitement for the title and its unique approach to the classic turn-based strategy genre, stating that he was looking forward to both playing the game and seeing the adventures created by players with the provided editors.
Athena Crisis, which will be available in multiple languages, will be launched on Steam and mobile platforms. The game’s key features include commanding over 30 different units, exploring more than five unique environments, an immersive single-player campaign with memorable characters, online multiplayer battles, and the ability to create and share custom maps and campaigns.
