i've gotten 200+ hrs out of this game and have plenty more ahead. the rebalancing of AW mech rushes, for instance, feels so nice :) the devs are great with giving QoL updates, and their curation of player campaigns is a very nice feature for solo players like me

About This Game
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.
Take Command
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!
Think Tactically
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.
Skills and Powers
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.

This game, even on E.A.S.Y has way to many levels that are just outright unfair to the player, where it feels like your forced to do specific moves and just bash your head against the wall until you either find the right ones, look up a tutorial on youtube or just rage quit. Your given practically no information by the game outside of the basic tutorial. You cannot change the keybindings and they are EXTREMELY awkward to use. And this game while it is also avalible on mobile, which being blunt feels like the intended platform with PC just being a sloppily made port where the bare minimum works and that's good enough. Also Map editor items are locked behind getting specific skills so even if you encounter say, the Super APU that itself doesn't work for unlocking them in the editor, you need the Skill of the same name found through a secret to actually unlock them for the editor, and while this is more on the nitpicky side, how you unlock some things is by buying them with Stars, Sta...
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.
