Athena Crisis is a modern retro turn-based strategy game that puts you in command of 40+ ground, naval, air and special units.

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!

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.
