About
Athena Crisis is a modern retro turn-based strategy game that presents multiple gripping single-player campaigns alongside sync and async online multiplayer, as well as a full map and campaign editor, leaderboards, player skills and unit powers. Fans of Advance Wars or Fire Emblem will feel right at home in Athena Crisis!
Victory in Athena Crisis can be obtained in multiple ways: defeat all enemy units to clear a map, take over your opponent’s structures and bases, escort units to an escape zone, or simply survive for a period of time against overwhelming odds. Outwit, outbuild, and outfight your opponents to become the best Athena Crisis player.
Command 40+ infantry, ground, naval, air and special units in turn-based battles. Seamlessly convert single-player games into multiplayer by activating Power Crystals that allow friends to join for coop. But beware: Activating crystals might mean other players will invade and battle you!
Beware the fog! Proceeding too far behind enemy lines may leave your units exposed to attacks from unexpected directions, or even at risk of…dinosaur munches? Strategic thinking will be required to take advantage of terrain and lines of sight.
Customize your gameplay experience with unique unlockable skills and powers: Unlock new units, apply status effects or completely change how some unit mechanics work. And when you need to gain the upper hand, activate powers to unleash devastating counter attacks.
A lighthearted, humorous story full of memorable characters will keep you playing long past when you planned to put your Steam Deck down. Just…one…more…map… And when you run out of official content, there are hours of community created campaigns and maps to play through!
A full map and campaign editor is included, allowing you to customize your own campaigns with your own dialogue or make challenging encounters for your friends to overcome. You can make single maps to play with friends and other community members, or create complete campaigns with entirely new dialogue and stories.
Athena Crisis takes the phrase “multi-platform” to a whole new level: you can start a game on PC or Mac and seamlessly continue it on iPhone, Android, or Steam Deck, whether you’re playing the lengthy single-player campaign or an online skirmish with your friends.

cool
A worthwhile successor to Advance Wars, swapping COs as characters for the Units as characters in the campaigns. You, as the CO, is customisable through unlockable equipable powers.
This really wasn't my kind of game, or anything strictly similar to Intelligent System's Advance Wars, but it's alright.

Ein sehr guter Indie-Titel, der sich an dem "Wars" franchise orientiert, aber selbst durch Innovationen überzeugt. Der Karten/Kampagnen-Editor bietet sehr viele möglichkeiten um seiner Kreativität freien lauf zu lassen, auch wenn anfänglich die auswahl ein wenig eingeschränkt ist da man einige Einheiten und Biome durch das abschließen von Kampagnen freischalten muss bietet die große Menge an Content die bereits verfügbar ist mehr als genug fortschritt um eine sehr umfangreiche Auswahl zu verfügung zu haben. Die Balance zwischen den Einheiten ist sehr gut, es gibt viele einheiten welche stark sind aber signifikante schwächen haben, und sehr viele Nischen können durch eine große auswahl an Fähigkeiten abgedeckt werden, je mehr man Spielt, desto mehr möglichkeiten kann man finden um seinen Spielstil neu zu erfinden. Das Invasions-system ist womöglich die beste Innovation meiner Meinung nach, allerdings hat dieses einige Probleme, welche aber nicht vom System her rühren, sondern von der Ausführung, nähmlich dass Spieler, welche einen Kristall nutzen und so ihre Kampagne zu einem Multiplayer Spiel machen, und dann sofort afk gehen können für potenziell verschwendente zeit sorgen, da es nicht immer sofort klar sein kann ob dieser Host nun verstanden hat dass das Spiel nun "Life" ist. Das kann dafür sorgen, das Spieler die versuchen den Host zu unterstützen (was durch eine restriktion, welche dafür sorgt das bis ein Host gewinnt, der aller-erste Invader ein verbündeter ist hervorgehoben wird), so nicht nur zeit sondern auch einen Kristall verschwendet haben, was eventuell frustrierend sein kann. Es gab zwar verschiedene lösungs-ansätze, aber ob sich einige technisch umsetzen lassen können steht in den Sternen. Alles in allem ist dieses Invasions-Feature trotzdem das Beste was diesem Spiel hätte passieren können, da es in kombination Kampagnen zu erstellen und zu veröffentlichen für enorm viel Wiederspiel-wert sorgt.
Amazing game. Feels like a modern advance wars. The option for mobile and async play takes things to a new level.
I like the complex and sometimes brutal roguelike feel of the phantom crystal enemy invader (or otherwise losing) side of the multiplayer invasion system. Sometimes you get a doomed run from the start of your invasion that lets you experiment with your army or try to hold on till more invaders act as reinforcements/truce allies.
Spent 45 minutes trying to figure out how to get it past an initial logon "email and password" screen on my SteamDeck. Eventually tried putting the deck into online mode and finally got the actual main menu to show up. Not a good introduction experience.
进去了游戏然后加载地图加载不出来,等了20分钟也没有,设置打开的也很慢。语言切换完中文后来进去又变英文了,只能重新选英文再选中文变回来。都快一年的游戏了还有这种恶性bug,打折44的价格也不是很便宜
