As a seasoned gamer with a heart full of nostalgia for the golden age of Advance Wars, I can hardly contain my excitement over the launch of Athena Crisis! Having grown up honing my strategic skills on those classic games, I’m thrilled to see this modern take on the genre that promises to bring back the same addictive gameplay and vibrant pixel art.


Null Games has made the announcement that Athena Crisis, their strategy game with similarities to both XCOM and Advance Wars, is now officially available on various platforms for players to enjoy. With its retro-inspired design updated for modern gaming, this title invites you to command an array of units in tactical turn-based combat across a variety of settings, ultimately shifting the balance of power towards your side during battles.

To obtain Athena Crisis, a one-time purchase is all that’s needed, granting you access to play on various platforms such as PC, Steam Deck, iOS, and Android. You can delve into the single-player campaign or challenge others in both ranked and casual online multiplayer settings.

If you’re up for some extra creativity, you could also design your own maps using the campaign editor and subsequently share your unique creation with your friends in a bustling community filled with user-created content.

According to Christoph Nakazawa, founder of Nakazawa Tech, “I fell head over heels for the Advance Wars series once I played the initial game during my teenage years when it was first released. It’s been a while, but I still remember the thrill of tackling intricate puzzles while immersed in a stunning pixel art game with captivating music.

You’ll find more than 40 assorted land, sea, and air units to explore, plus over 40 unique maps and hidden treasures to discover. If this sounds like it matches your interests, why not browse through our selection of top-rated strategy games on Android for an enjoyable gaming experience?
