Review by Matt S. Here is something I honestly never expected to see on the PlayStation 4; a turn-based, hardcore strategy game in the vein of classics such as Panzer General or Slitherine’s more modern Panzer Corps. Yet, that is exactly what Battle Worlds Kronos set out to achieve, and…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m pretty sure that I’m meant to deeply dislike Langrisser Re:Incarnation -TENSEI-.
