Crown Wars: The Black Prince Announced

Crown Wars: The Black Prince is an upcoming tactical turn-based strategy with some RPG elements from Artefacts Studio, the team behind the delightful, if unpronounceable, The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos.

Moving away from The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk’s light-hearted tone, Crown Wars will be using the Hundred Years’ War for its setting and offer you an opportunity to recruit, equip and train your team, develop your home base, and unravel a malevolent conspiracy. The game is currently slated for a 2023 release.

Here’s the official reveal trailer:

And the game’s description:

As the fighting rages in the Hundred Years’ War, you are the head of a noble family seeking glory in this tactical turn-based strategy game. Fight enemy factions and battle an evil force that has corrupted the highest echelons of power and is exploiting the conflict for its own gain through a violent and mysterious cult.

From your castle – your seat of operations – recruit, equip and train your soldiers to fight your enemies and protect the population. Build your squads to suit your needs as you set out to find the source of the Evil and thwart the malevolent plot.

Your management and diplomacy skills will be put to the test. Upgrade your castle, forge ties with other families, and manage your resources wisely.

With the world on the brink of collapse, there can only be one solution: Evil must be defeated.
