the story

In The Fallen Crown, you take control of a nameless undead warrior with no memory of his past. Inexplicably drawn to The Tower, you are flung to the depths below before you are able to breach its walls. Now, you must recover your body as well as the memories of your long-forgotten past.

​

The story will unfold as you, the player, explore The Tower and the many surrounding areas. Discover secrets to piece together your fragmented memories. Confront mysterious enemies to uncover the truth behind your demise. Only then can you face the evil that has been terrorizing the land for the nearly a century.

gameplay

Play the way you want. Smash your way through obstacles and rush to the finish line, or be cautious and stealthy, taking your time to sneak up on enemies and scour every corner for secrets.

 

At its heart, The Fallen Crown is a Metroidvania. You will create many shortcuts in an interconnected world, while acquiring new skills and gear to reach new areas. You will wield daggers, staves, axes, throwing daggers or the classic sword and board, engaging in visceral combat. However, you will also have to be quick on your 'feet'. You'll find yourself jumping off of ledges, pouncing on enemy heads and shooting projectiles more in line with classic games like Super Mario or Megaman.

There will be NPCs with which you can interact, as well as merchants who will be happy to take your hard-earned coin. There will be a rich world to explore full of mind-bending puzzles, difficult challenges and artifacts to collect. We aim to scratch that nostalgic itch while bringing a few modern concepts to make your experience more accessible and engaging.

 

You will have to master many skills to conquer The Tower and save the kingdom, but most importantly, yourself. Do you have what it takes?
