About This Game

The castle walls are your only sanctuary, and they will not hold forever. You are the last Crusader, the final bastion against a tide of goblins, ghosts, ghouls, and grotesque abominations bent on extinguishing the last light of the kingdom—Princess Plum.

Crusader is a high-octane, survival-based FPS that blends arcade action with deep roguelike progression. The gameplay is simple, but the challenge is endless. Every kill earns you coin, and every coin is a choice. Do you risk it all on a powerful new weapon, or gamble on a mystery mushroom upgrade that could turn the tide of battle? With each wave, the enemy grows stronger, faster, and more numerous. But so do you.

Master satisfying movement, find the perfect vantage point on the castle ramparts, and unleash a hail of steel and spells upon the monstrous legion below. Collect rare gems to unlock permanent upgrades, ensuring every run makes you a more formidable protector. Rally an alliance of Paladin Tanks, Elven Healers, and Lightning Wizards to join your cause. This is not just a battle for survival; it is a quest for glory.

The princess is counting on you. Do not fail her, brave knight.

Features:

• Relentless Wave-Based Combat: Stand your ground against an ever-escalating army of over a dozen unique enemy types—from swarming Goblins and wall-leaping Werewolves to teleporting Vampires, moving Castles, undead Zombies, alurring Demons, colossal Twin-Headed Ogres, flying Eyeballs, sprinting Goblin Queens, and screen-shaking Dragons!

• A Vast & Unholy Arsenal: Unleash destruction with a diverse armory of weapons and spells. Snipe from the ramparts, release the Holy Hand Grenade, blast hordes with a powerful Shotgun, squash foes with a Boulder, toss a Boomerang, blow up a bouncing Shock Orb, shatter a Frostbolt, or guide a devastating Fireball to its target!

• Deep Roguelike Progression: No two runs are the same! Spend coins on new weapons, gamble at the Mystery Mushroom, or pray for a game-altering Magic Mushroom drop, granting you one of many temporary Super Power-ups.

• Recruit Your Own Army: You are not alone! Command the battlefield by summoning a trio of powerful AI allies: the unshakeable Paladin Tank, the devastating Lightning Wizard, and the life-saving Elven Healer.

• Permanent Prestige System: Collect rare gems from fallen foes to unlock a huge pool of permanent, compounding upgrades. Reduce your spell cooldowns, increase your weapon capabilities, and gain more movement tricks that carry over between every crusade.

• God-like Movement & Agility: Master your fortress with catapult jump pads, satisfying wall-running, a powerful damage-dealing dash, trick sliding, and a springy grapple hook. The castle is your playground, not your prison.

• Strategic Battlefield Control: Turn the tide with throwable turrets, smart translocators, and explosive barrels. Use the environment to your advantage!

• Your Personal Bard: Choose your battle anthem! Toss a coin to your loyal bard and select from over 15 Hours of beautiful, atmospheric music. The soundtrack is yours to command.

• Powerful Proverbs & Full Fantasy Flavor: The world is packed with hidden Easter Eggs, a treacherous Mimic, and wisdom for your journey. With over 800 unique voicelines, every moment of peace is a chance for reflection.

• Endless Replayability: A scaling wave system, randomized upgrades, a deep prestige system, and unpredictable Wave Modifiers ensure the crusade never truly ends. How long can YOU survive?
