About This Game

About the Game

Crowns & Colossi is a fantasy grand strategy game set in a myth-shrouded world. You ascend the throne: govern the realm at court, appoint ministers and grow the economy; maneuver and wage war on the world map; then take to turn-based battlefields to arrange your troops, unleash stratagems and hold your army's nerve — until the world is united under your banner. Roguelike elements keep every run unpredictable, while branching stories and fateful choices let your decisions truly rewrite history.

Core Gameplay

• A single, continuous cycle of rule: choose your civilization → govern at court → diplomatize and conquer on the world map → command legions in turn-based battle → unify the world.

• Grand strategy and tactics, seamlessly connected: your court policies set army size and war funds; your on-field command decides the fate of every battle.

• Turn-based tactical depth: unit types counter one another, and deck-building matters as much as your decisions on the field — patient play lets the underdog win.

• Roguelike unpredictability: events, encounters and the stratagems you draw differ every run — replayable and ever fresh.

11 Base Kingdoms + 2 DLC Factions — 13 Civilizations in Total

• 11 vividly distinct base kingdoms: the Holy Empire, the Viking Clans, the Ape Tribes, the Desert Realm, Olympus, Kievan Rus, the Vampire Dominion, the Black Wolf Clan, the Peacock Dynasty, Huaxia, and the Sunrise Shogunate.

• 2 paid DLC factions: the Skeleton Empire and Devil's Island — even without owning the DLCs, you can still invade and conquer them on the world map; you simply cannot choose or play as them.

• Each civilization carries its own story and a unique approach to warfare and statecraft — a genuinely different playthrough.

• Earn meta-currency to unlock new kingdoms, and return to the throne under a different banner.

Court & Statecraft: Rule as a True Monarch

• Appoint ministers: each counselor brings distinct administrative bonuses and personal stories.

• Grow the economy: balance agriculture, trade and taxation to fill the treasury.

• Raise war funds: choose between the people's welfare and the costs of war — overextension erodes loyalty.

• Hold morale: the people's faith and the army's nerve matter equally; defeat and tyranny can tear a realm apart.

War-Strategy Cards & Random Events

• A card-based stratagem system: tactical cards you can unleash on the battlefield, from Common to Legendary rarity — collectible and unlockable.

• Build your deck wisely to turn battles against a stronger foe.

• Random encounters: unexpected events arise as you march between lands.

• Branching stories and fateful choices: your decisions bend the fate of your kingdom and steer it toward different endings.

Giant Battles

• On the battlefield you may come upon a slumbering ancient giant.

• Giant-vs-giant clashes are dedicated, high-stakes encounters with their own BGM, where the colossi face each other head-on.

• To fell a giant is more than a tactical win — it is glory worthy of legend.

Branching Choices & Multiple Endings

• There is no single right path: hegemony, alliance, compromise, reform — choose your way.

• Multiple endings: how your road to unification ends depends on the ruler you become through a thousand choices.

• Several difficulties are available, including a Hard mode for those who seek a true challenge.

High Replayability

• Every run is a fresh campaign: randomly drawn strategy cards, random encounters and fateful choices keep each conquest unpredictable.

• Thirteen civilizations, branching storylines and multiple endings mean new stories, battles and challenges await every time you play.
