Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Fallen Crowns is a dark fantasy action RPG made by a solo developer, and its extraction raids live or die on feel: how long a raid should last, how fast the grave-rot should rise, how dangerous the rival bands should be, and how much loot is worth the risk. Those questions are best answered by players. I want your feedback to shape the raids before the full game ships.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 12 months. As a solo developer, I'll share progress and plans in regular news posts on the store page.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“More to raid: new crypts and dungeons, more bosses and rival bands, more weapons, armour sets and legendaries, more talents and spells. The story of the Four Kings returns as its own mode: an open kingdom with quest lines, towns and the Crown Bringers who hold the stolen crowns. I also plan more languages.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Extraction raids in the Sunken Crypt, solo or in online co-op for up to 4 players. Each raid builds a new crypt from a grid of rooms and gives you twenty minutes to loot it, with portals that open as the raid wears on and a grave-rot miasma that closes in toward the end. Two to three AI rival bands raid alongside you. Fall, and you lose everything you carried. Between raids you return to a dwarven tavern hold with traders, a fence and a stash vault. Six classes up to level 20, guard-and-parry combat, randomized loot with affixes, legendaries and armour sets, and a character creator. Full controller support, Steam Deck settings, Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud saves. English only for now. Expect rough edges and balance changes between updates.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will rise when the full version launches. Everyone who buys during Early Access gets every update, including the full release, at no extra cost.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through the Steam Playtest, the Community Hub discussions and regular news posts. As a solo developer, I read every piece of feedback and every bug report myself, share my plans before each update so players can weigh in, and tune the raids from how they actually go.”

About This Game

Go down. Get out.


Beneath the fallen fortress of King Aldric lies the Sunken Crypt, and everything the old kingdom buried with its dead. Fallen Crowns is a third-person dark fantasy action RPG with a stylised low-poly look, built around one question every raid: how much will you risk before you run for the portal?

Gear up in the tavern, take the cellar stair down to the crypt door, and you have twenty minutes. Search the dead, crack the chests, fight what guards them, and get out alive. Make it to a portal and everything in your bag is yours. Fall, and the crypt keeps it all.

A crypt that never holds still


  • Every raid builds a new crypt: a grid of catacomb halls, prisons, vaults and ossuaries, shuffled and turned so no two runs share a map.
  • A door in every doorway. Doors block arrows and sight, creak when they open, and hide whatever waits on the other side.
  • Hundreds of coffins, urns, crates and fallen raiders to search, chests in every wing, and the Warlord himself in the deepest hall, sitting on the best loot in the crypt.

You are not alone down there


Rival raiding bands go down with you: small parties of knights, sorcerers and northmen who loot the same chests and race you to the same portals. Monsters attack them as readily as they attack you. Cut a band down and its bag and gear are yours. Leave them be, and they may empty the vault before you reach it.

The rot rises


Portals open at random points as the raid wears on. Find one and hold your ground while it pulls you out. Late in the raid the grave-rot rises: a green miasma that fills the crypt hall by hall, closing toward the last portal. Breathe it for long and you are done.

Raid together


  • Online co-op for up to 4 players. Invite friends through Steam, post your party on the tavern's notice board, or Quick Join an open raid.
  • When a hero goes down, a teammate has thirty seconds to pick them up.
  • Every hero brings their own character, keeps their own loot and makes their own escape.
  • The crypt grows with the party: more monsters, tougher monsters, more chests, and one more rival band.

The tavern hold


Between raids you live in a dwarven hold above the crypt. Buy steel from Brokk at his forge and potions from Hilde behind the bar, sell what you dragged out to Grubb the fence, and lock your best finds in the vault, where the crypt can't take them. Patrons drink, sing and warn you about the rot.

Build your raider


  • Six classes: Warden, Hunter, Wizard, Rogue, Warlock and Paladin, each with its own weapons, armour and spells.
  • Guard and parry, charged heavy attacks, dodge rolls, and enemies with wind-ups you can learn.
  • Randomized loot with affixes, legendaries and armour sets. Every piece you wear changes how you look.
  • Create your raider in the character creator: species, body, face, hair and colours.

Early Access and the road ahead

Fallen Crowns is in development. The extraction raids are what I am testing first in the Steam Playtest. The story of the Four Kings, an open kingdom with quests, towns and Crown Bringers, is built alongside and will come back in a later update.

Full controller support, Steam Deck settings, Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud saves.

Fallen Crowns is made by a solo developer.
