Crownbound – Rule with Gold, Not with Force!
In Crownbound, you are the ruler of a growing fantasy kingdom, but your heroes have a mind of their own! Unlike traditional RTS games, you cannot command your units directly. Instead, you must influence them through spells, rewards, and strategic kingdom management. Heroes can level up, buy items in the market or even find them in fallen foes. Unfortunately they can also die or end up running around aimlessly instead of fulfilling your needs.
Will you lead your realm to prosperity or watch it crumble under the chaos of disobedient adventurers, greedy merchants, and monstrous invasions?
🛡️ Indirect Control, Ultimate Strategy
Set Bounties & Rewards – Motivate heroes to slay monsters, explore dungeons, and defend your lands… for the right price.
Unpredictable Heroes – Warriors, mages, rogues, and clerics roam freely, following their own goals, fears, and ambitions.
Expand Your Kingdom – Construct buildings, research powerful upgrades, and attract the right mix of adventurers to thrive.
⚔️ Epic Heroes, Legendary Loot
Your heroes aren't just disposable minions—they grow stronger with every battle!
Level Up & Specialize – Watch as your adventurers gain experience, unlocking new skills, spells, and combat techniques.
Find & Equip Powerful Gear – Legendary swords, enchanted staves, and ancient relics await those brave enough to claim them.
Train & Upgrade Your Forces – Invest in warrior guilds, mage towers, and forges to help your heroes reach their full potential.
Permadeath & New Recruits – No hero lives forever. When one legend falls, another rises to take their place.
🐉 A Living Fantasy World
Epic Scenarios – Conquer wild lands, repel sieges, and uncover ancient mysteries in handcrafted scenarios.
Tactical Upgrades – Enhance your units with weapons, spells, and rare relics found throughout the world.
👑 Can You Keep the Throne?
Your kingdom will rise or fall based on your ability to inspire, manipulate, and outthink both heroes and enemies. Gold is your true power—spend it wisely and perhaps you’ll be worthy of the crown.
Buy now and prepare to rule!
