Changing direction with the R-stick doesn’t use up a turn, but is quite a disorienting experience. Most turn-based combat in Strategy-RPG games would start with your character moving followed by the opponent, with the rare case of simultaneous movement in the case of games like Vandal Hearts II.Ĭrown Trick takes that mechanic and runs with it in a seemingly free movement dungeon crawler. One thing that we’re presented with is the somewhat strange turn-based combat. As you grow in power and explore more the Nightmare Realm while enlisting the aid of former enemies that are now familiars, will Elle find a way out of the dungeon and what is the trade-off that she will have to give up with the titular Crown? Deceptively SimpleĪfter the opening cinematic, Crown Trick quickly throws you into the labyrinth with a pretty basic tutorial to guide you through the dungeon. You take on the role of Elle who wakes up in the Nightmare Realm, helpless and lost, as she encounters the titular Crown, who gives her powers to challenge the dungeon master, Duke Vlad, for freedom. Crown Trick released on Nintendo Switch a year ago and now we’re receiving ports for the PS4 and Xbox One, with the latter launching on Xbox Game Pass on Day 1. Tencent’s Next Studios’ Crown Trick is an interesting indie that tackles the roguelite challenge, but at the same time using mechanics popular to the genre such as dungeon crawling, monster capture, and action-RPG elements. With the height of its popularity achieved by Hades, the genre has steadily been accepted by gamers and with it, a renewed demand for accessible roguelite games players could tackle in between their AAA adventures. Roguelites are becoming the popular go-to genre for independent developers because of its flexible gameplay mechanics that keep the players interested.
