About Death Crown

https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/814530/extras/banner-for-steam-medium.gif
Death Crown is a minimalist real time strategy game in a 1bit style, where you will be play Death herself, commanding her legions of death, and punishing humanity's Kingdom for its overconfidence.

Key features:

  • Clear strategic gameplay. Clear strategic gameplay. Everything is very simple: you only have barracks producing troops, mines producing gold, and towers protecting your buildings. Every building is integral to your success!
  • Local multiplayer. Punishing pitiful humans in co-op with a friend is much more fun! And after that you can find out which one of you is cooler in the PVP mode.
  • A memorable visual style. Seriously, how many strategy games in 1bit do you know?
  • Unique story. Upgrade your troops, march through your foe's lands, sowing death and destruction, behold the fall of the Humanity's Kingdom in the breathtaking campaign.

The Story


At the end of the millennial war, when all the cemeteries were overcrowded with the bodies of the dead, came the one who was called The King. Thanks to his unyielding will, The King managed to subdue and unite all the lands. The Kingdom appeared, and the era of the Human began.
The King ruled wisely and fairly, but his time on this land ran out: Death came after him. But the will of The King was so strong that he could deny Death.
He grew so proud that he humiliated Death itself. The idea of the overwhelming power and immortality didn't leave his mind. The King realized that power over the living was not enough for him.
The King decided to get the powerful artefact known as the Death Crown. Thus begins the War of the Death Crown.

This game is a fun, bit-sized RTS game. The objective is to defeat the opponent's castle before they do yours, via overwhelming their structures and army with your own. There are three options for building: mines (money), barracks/graveyard (troops), and towers (defense). There are a few other things that come into play later during the campaigns, as well. As you can see from my play time, the game is quite short. My gameplay not only includes campaign time, but also a while on Domination mode. Some of the campaign fights have unique mechanics that made them quite interesting. I was able to beat both campaigns without any losses or restarts, but the Domination mode can be a lot more difficult. I think Domination mode would take up the most time, but far. Visually, this game is quite striking. There's the black-and-white option you see here, as well as a colorful one. The cutscenes are still in black-and-white, but I that didn't affect my experience at all. I think the colorful version of the game is better to play, and better on the eyes. The soundtrack was fitting, but I mostly heard one track the whole time I played. Luckily, the game is quite short, so neither the sound nor …
