Being the chosen one elected by the king himself you embark on an adventurous journey to free him from the hands of the evil duke. But time is of the essence! ≈≈≈≈≈≈ Features ≈≈≈≈≈≈ - Roguelike turn-based strategy meets RPG on a hexagonal battlefield. - On every game start the world is rebuilt with different environments and encounters; - More than 4 diverse and procedural environments - Hire 9 individual mercenaries to take on bandits, wildlife and malevolent knights - Utilise the unique class skills of the archer, wizard, scout and others - Gather resources, level-up your companions and collect mighty equipment - Alternative endings Will you save the king before the time runs out? ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ What the Media says ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ „Crowntakers strikes a really good balance between simplicity and complexity. It has just as much pick up and play appeal as lighter roguelike fare while offering a bit more to chew on.“ Shaun Musgrave, toucharcade, 4,5/5 stars „Crowntakers is a tough combination of turn based strategy and Roguelike. It's quite satisfying, though.“ Jennifer Allen, 148Apps, 4/5 stars „How many acronyms can you cram into a single game? Crowntakers is a PDL TBS RPG (that is, a procedural death labyrinth role-playing game with turn-based strategy combat) (…) and it’s really good fun if you like games like Final Fantasy Tactics.“ Michelle Star, CNET ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ User Ratings ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ 5/5 - If you like turn based tactical medieval rpg's get this. Not as much story/length as final fantasy tactics, but frankly on iDevices I consider that a win. Bite sized battles, winnable in a day on easy, challenging on hard, good replay value. Only crashed once on 1st gen mini 5/5 - This is worth your money. You get a polished game, tactical battles, and thoughtful choices in exploration. Also big points for splitting the game into two difficulties. One being sort of roguelike with permadeath and the other much more RPG without permadeath and with consistent leveling. If you're thinking about this one, you'll probably thoroughly enjoy it like I do! 5/5 - This game should get much more hype. I've been playing it non-stop in my free time for over a week. Despite some bugs (which the dev's have been very quick to address), Each game feels quite different with the random locations within areas, random loot and different party builds. It's not easy at first, but learning different strategies as you go is enjoyable. Highly recommend this game! 5/5 - Big fan of this game. The battles are very tactical and the map navigation is really streamlined and fun to explore. This is a good one for any rogue-like fans. It's not super punishing, but it does present a nice challenge on the normal mode (haven't beaten it yet, but I hope a hard mode unlocks after doing so).

I love this on PC. Tough, story-focused roguelike with a fantastic boardgame-esque style. Very enjoyable, and unlike anything I can think of on iOS. It's also half the price pretty much of its PC counterpart. If you like personality, challenge, replayability and freedom that doesn't compromise story structure then I can only recommend this. The battles are like Heroes of Might and Magic etc. whilst the exploration is roguelike with random events thrown in like those in FTL and Out There. I wouldn't say it quite matches the levels of those games, but it is something I'll happily double dip with seeing as I paid £13 for it originally on PC. NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #3 NOEN, Mar 30, 2015 I can't even see the App Description yet, but with Pete's comments and it being by Kalypso, I'm getting it. PeteOzzy Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2013 4,596 3 0 Norwich, England #4 PeteOzzy, Mar 30, 2015 I so hope you enjoy it as much as I am! It's not perfect, and those that get frustrated when they have a bad play that could be blamed on randomness will get a little irritated but it is worth the money to me without a doubt. I can't express how much I love seeing so many great PC indies come out on iOS; you can't not take mobile seriously when it offers a fair chunk of the most "hardcore" platform's games. ojtitus Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2010 3,228 5 38 Male Canton, Ohio #5 ojtitus, Mar 31, 2015 Last edited: Mar 31, 2015 Pete, I just wanted you to confirm for me that there is some carry over on play throughs.

NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #8 NOEN, Mar 31, 2015 That's why I love mobile gaming so much right now. I have been a console guy ever since the old Intellivision/Atari days, but I never got into PC gaming. So it's nice being able to play a big chunk of games that I've missed over the years. Then throw in everything else that's on the AppStore and I find myself playing iOS games more than my consoles.

The Son of Anarchy Well-Known Member May 14, 2012 313 0 0 #18 The Son of Anarchy, Mar 31, 2015 There are some seriously cool games coming to iOS these days and this is one of them. My iPad is crammed full of great games but I usually only play one to death at a time... this is next I reckon. Thanks Pete for your secret wizardry in finding and sharing these games. anabolicMike Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2013 302 0 0 #19 anabolicMike, Mar 31, 2015 Yeah there Mr Sons of Anarchy I do the same. Crammed to the max with games and I only play one over and over..... And the one I was playing just got kicked outta place because this is a seriously cool game. Terrific find! Bye bye Sid Meier!!! Hello silly CrownTaker Oh btw.... The Son of Anarchy. I watched some of it and had to turn it off. I have a couple real biker buddies and they are not like those guys. Sure those guys party hard and kill people like they are Ina. Tv show (wait! They are!). But real biker gangs wouldn't accept a transvestite or one of their members having a joyous time with him/her. Also the major Gangs? Sorry super racist, they woulda been more friendly to Henry Rollins then any of the other different people (which isn't right at all, I personally think we are all the same scum,we all got that one thing that makes us all the same, we ruin, plunder and destroy everything to get what we want regardless of what it does to anything or anyone else, I hate to say it but Agent Smith said it right, Human race is a virus, a freaking parasite). Anyways, that not the biggest problem, the biggest problem with the whole freaking show is al ost everyone of those members was a rat. Including pretty boy in the white shoes. Bikers do not like rats and they ALL were working with 5Litre. (Or 5-O, the coppers). Anyway, Sons are Rats, wouldn't ever wear their shirts. So yes, the racism and etc is nothing compared to the hate of the dime dropping cheese eating rats. (I'm serious lol have a nice day!)
