However, just because you rocked your last battle and everyone leveled up doesn’t mean you’ll make it much further. Units gain substantial bonuses by staying together.
After each battle, you’re rewarded with experience and items, and both your hero and your mercenaries level up as you go, with each level providing a new stat-increasing perk. So, while combat might seem too dumbed down at first, these micro-battles are brilliantly done and really open up as you progress into the later levels.
#Crowntakers hen plus#
A wide variety of potions, plus a death blow mechanic that allows an extra turn after a kill, add even more strategy. Each character can take two actions per turn, but it’s not as straightforward as just moving and attacking: there’s terrain to contend with, which can be especially troublesome on the small maps, and adjacent unit bonuses that allow for extra attacks and counterattacks. Battles in Crowntakers play out in standard SRPG tile-based fashion, but on a much smaller scale. If your hero dies, it’s game over regardless of how many party members you have left standing, and that makes them a central part of the combat experience. Your mercenaries aren’t just there for support, though. And, as an added bonus, you’re able to unlock permanent alternate - and more powerful - versions of each one. There’s more than enough variety to allow you to use entirely different strategies on each run and each mercenary features unique strengths and weaknesses. At first you’ll only have access to two classes, but more open up as you progress through the game. Crowntakers wouldn’t be much of an SRPG without a party to control, so you’re able to recruit mercenary companions from the inn at the start of each level. The whole endeavour is quite daunting, but you won’t have to face it alone.
#Crowntakers hen upgrade#
This forces you to consider every single movement you make - is it worth exploring the side road in hopes of finding a blacksmith to upgrade your equipment, or should you rush straight to the next level? Crowntakers further expands on these decision-making aspects by frequently forcing you to choose between benefits like upgraded equipment, armour versus critical damage runes, and healing items. You’re also fighting the clock with each step: each day that passes by increases the strength of your enemies. As you explore, you’ll run into special characters with quests to unlock new party members, which adds extra excitement to the earlier runs. You’re able to see fights ahead of time once you reveal that spot on the map, but other locations hold mystery events some yield rewards, but not all.
#Crowntakers hen how to#
You have access to a map that shows the endpoint you need to reach but nothing in between, so you’ll have to figure out how to get there. Pesky royal guard units are always blocking the way.Ĭrowntakers features one-step-at-a-time movement on a grid that's quite similar to FTL. It is pretty, however, and traversing Crowntakers’ environments is largely a joy. You’ll have to cross through eight different maps filled with randomly generated enemies and situations to find him, and it’s far from easy. He reaches out to you in a dream to request your help, tells you good luck, and then leaves you to figure out a way to navigate the dangerous hazards that stand between the two of you. In this roguelike SRPG, you play as the heir of an imprisoned king. I’m here to remedy this oversight for two reasons: first, Crowntakers is a seriously enjoyable game that deserves all the coverage it can get second, it just became playable on the iPhone, and I want to share a few thoughts on how it holds up on the smaller device.
