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.
