Crown Trick was released back in last October on PC and has garnered praise from critics and players alike. I've been lucky enough to play it from its initial launch and recently had the joy of rediscovering it all over again as it releases onto consoles September 7th.
Crown Trick thrusts players into "The Nightmare Realm" as they take on the role of protagonist Elle and guide her on a perilous journey through procedurally generated dungeons, carefully navigating unique enemies and traps that only move when Elle does thanks to the unique synchronous turn-based mechanic.
Players will need to strategically plan each move in order to survive, using a combination of skills, Familiars, and weapons in order to escape the Nightmare Realm.
Crown Trick is a delightful and thoughtful take on a rogue-like RPG adventure characterized by turn-based combat and skill-item interactive strategy.
Working your way through dungeons that move as you move, where mastering and matching elements to enemies is key to uncovering the mysteries of this underground world.
Procedurally Generated Maze
The procedurally-generated maze ensures you have a different experience every time you enter the dungeon. But unlike traditional open maps, Crown Trick locks you inside of small dungeon room to do battle with monsters. Without access to the entire map, you have no choice but to strategically decide how you will mount an attack on the enemy.
Synchronous Turn-Based Strategy
The game moves as you move, and your enemies will stand still until you decide what’s the best way to attack. Take however long you need to map out your route, decide the best way to avoid traps, or how to use the elements to your advantage. A carefully thought out strategy is the key to escaping this dungeon alive.
Cast your Skills on the Elements of the Terrain
As you go deeper into the dungeon you will come across terrains mirroring a variety of elements that can be combined with your skills to deal heavy damage to the enemy. Throw fire on top of oil to burn monsters and mix lightning with water to electrocute your foes. There are a lot of lethal combinations to explore and use to slay monsters you encounter.
