7 itemsAbout the Game
Crownbreakers is a fast-paced card game of revolutionary violence. This spiritpunk world is ruled by tyrants that grow fat by stealing souls just to grind them into profit. Fight against necromantic criminals and demonic billionaires. Break the soul trade and free your city. Crownbreakers combines turn-based tactics with deck-building mechanics in one snappy package.
Use your champion's actions and your cards together to control the battlefield. Push enemies into the perfect position for your area of effect abilities or chain explosive barrels together to pulverize the opposition. Master this to make the most of your abilities.
Each turn the battlefield advances, uncovering new obstacles, new enemies but also new rewards: rare cards for your deck, powerful relics to enable new synergies, and stickers to add to your cards. Build your deck and keep pushing forward. Only the strong can make it to the boss.
Add Stickers to create powerful, custom cards. With stickers you can increase a card's damage, add new abilities or even extend a card's area of effect. Limits are for other people. And the right sticker on the right card can make or break a run.
Complete quests and return with loot from your battles. Share you resources with the people of the city and get to know its colorful characters. Before your return for another run against the city's tyrants.
A WORLD OF MAGIC AND OFFICE JOBS
Step into a world where modern technology and magic coexist. People commute to work and buy their drinks at the franchise coffee shop on the corner while spirits bring technology alive and floating islands drift on invisible currents across the sky.
The truly dedicated can strengthen their soul and learn ways of using this magic to master mighty supernatural abilities. Unfortunately the rich and powerful know how to buy, steal or crush both magic and souls. All so they can hyper-charge their stranglehold on the world.
But you're not playing their game. You are ready to fight against their oppression. And you will break their crowns.
