Much like making a move, using a weapon takes up your sole action for the turn. Additionally, each class of weapons has a number of different subclasses, each with their own special ability and a number of slots that can be randomized at specific locations. Elle does have access to boots of teleportation which give her the ability to move to space within range without using up a turn, and managing her uses of these boots is one of the keys to success in Crown Trick.ĭifferent weapon types have their own attack patterns, with each having its own area of effect, and some of them, namely the pistol, shotgun, and rifle, requiring a reload round after a certain number of attacks are made. There is no movement stat in the game, and Elle can move a single space on her turn. Elle generally has the choice of one of four different actions during her turn: take a move, attack with her weapon, use a familiar ability, use an item, or pass. It even presents a bit of the general “build your character from what you find in the dungeon” idea, with Elle being given a choice of weapons, familiars, and maybe a single relic at the start of a run: everything else is based on what you encounter.Ĭombat is set up in a traditional you take a turn, they take a turn style. Elites and bosses usually drop power relics, each of which provides some sort of situational bonus. Healing is generally rare and hard to come by, but a character’s healing capabilities and HPs are completely refreshed between stages. If this sounds familiar it should, as this overall structure is very reminiscent of Slay the Spire and its imitators. There are five dungeons in total, and dying in one allows you to reattempt it without forcing you to retread the ones you already beat. On the 9th and final floor of every dungeon you will face the main boss at the end of your run, which resets your gear but lets you spend your accumulated soul shards and progress to the next dungeon. The rest of the rooms are a mixture of event rooms that provide opportunities to gain various buffs through choices or puzzles, familiar crystals which let you choose ability sets, and both visible and hidden treasure rooms.įinally, each dungeon floor has a single boss room which gives you a great deal of treasure and locks you out from continuing to explore the current floor. The bulk of them features combat encounters with a mixture of enemies and environmental hazards and the usual array of risks and rewards. The game is a turn-based roguelite with meta progression between runs that allows you to increase your character’s power, but otherwise largely adheres to the boundaries of the genre OverviewĬrown Trick features various themed levels, ranging from ocean depths through steampunk to witches and wizards, each with its own set of procedurally generated rooms. Teaming up with a sentient crown that might just rule this world, you face off against enemies who threaten both the real world and this, which translates to battling through regions of the nightmare realm, fighting a series of bosses of various levels until you fight the final boss of the region. Crown Trick, by NEXT Studios, is a turn-based tactical rogue-like, where you play a young girl named Elle who is trapped in a realm of nightmares.
