by

The strategic narrative game known as “Crown Gambit” is set to debut on PC through Steam on the 18th of June, according to the announcement made by its publishers, Playdigious, and developers, WILD WITS.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

In the “Crown Gambit” game, you lead three knights on a perilous journey along a foreboding road, traversing a city beset by turmoil and political instability.

Choose to back a claimant for the royal position and aid their rise to rule. Keep in mind that every decision you make carries potential consequences!

As a gamer, I choose my allegiance between the plotters and embark on a journey using ancient artifacts to vanquish my adversaries – be they power-mad knights, wily nobles, or rebellious commoners who strive for control.

What are you willing to give up to protect the kingdom? Who do you support as the future ruler of this land? The fate of the kingdom is now in your control.

Carve Your Own Path Through the Chaos

In the fragile realm of King Meodred, a devastating political upheaval is causing widespread instability, with shadowy forces seemingly manipulating events from behind the scenes. Each contender for the throne gathers their supporters to claim the crown, while the masses stir unrest and the waters continue to churn… In this tumultuous situation, you assume the role of three inexperienced paladins, guardians of the crown, tasked with making tough choices to prevent the kingdom from sliding into utter chaos.

Develop unique personas for your knights as you face tough decisions throughout the narrative, sticking firmly to your beliefs. Choose your companions thoughtfully and maneuver through conflicts to expose plots. However, be cautious of alliances: during turmoil, deceit is most powerful.

Feel the Impact in Epic Board-shattering Card Combats

Manage a group of three valiant warriors in intense, strategic close-quarters battle: Aliza, the agile blood-bender, Hael, the fierce cleric with a mace, and Rollo, the sturdy tanker wielding an anchor. Feel the power of your strikes as you annihilate foes using dynamic attack sequences, pushing through adversaries with your relic weapons of great significance. Be ever vigilant, for other formidable paladins will defend their own loyalties—and they won’t back down without putting up a strong fight.

As you embark on your journeys, ensure you are well-prepared by strategically assembling the deck for each of your paladins. Overcome any challenges that come your way by functioning seamlessly as a cohesive unit against your foes. Make every strike matter and do it with flair!

Power is a Double-Edged Sword

Harness the old and mystical force flowing through your sacred artifacts and tip the scales in combat with the invocation of Ancestral Favor. Undoubtedly, you’ll cut through opponents more swiftly, yet be cautious; the cost for this divine power might very well claim your spirit…
