I've never left a review before but I love this game and I can't believe it isn't more popular and I need more people to play it (it doesn't even have a subreddit!). I've just finished my third playthrough and I'm still finding new things all the time and I'd even say it's been the most enjoyable one so far. That's not to say I don't have criticisms. The combat has a really weird difficulty curve and the card that immobilizes an enemy nullifies like 80% of the bosses. I purposefully tried a different approach to combat by banning a couplen of cards for myself and now combat is really exciting again. So then why do I recommend it anyway? Because of the amount of things this game has to love. The characters are great, the choices are hard, there are consequences to even small actions, the art is stunning. I can see myself having a fourth playthrough and I never replay games. This one goes in my favorites.
If you love the vibes from "kill six billion demons" you'll love this game because I sunk hours into the game from the art alone. I'd also describe this game more akin to "into the breach" over a conventional "slay the spire" style. There is deck customization but it's not as deep, and the game really gives you all the information you need to solve the situation at hand. I also love the ancestral trait design, forcing you to consider the consequences of using the mechanic both in the game and in the story. My only gripe with the game comes from it's "illusion" of impactful choices. Despite making certain decisions, as long as you maintain a certain amount of "credibility", you'll generally be able to go back on the decision you made earlier. The game is also buggy, but because there are so many save checkpoints you can make and that the game does for you, the experience is annoying but nothing that ruined the overall gameplay for me However, overall I genuinely enjoyed the game and would love to see a sequel with more fleshed out writing. I believe the game design itself is plenty enjoyable, and I found myself surprised at what combinations work with every run. I love the art and worldbuilding for this game, and I really look forward to the kingdom sim game they have coming up, which also takes place in the same world as this.
Crown Gambit is such an underrated gem it hurts. I had a lot of fun with big hitter indies like Hades II and Hollow Knight Silk Song, but for me Crown Gambit is a genuine contender for game of the year because of how good its lore, visuals and gameplay are. I will scream to the heavens into the end of time that this is an under appreciated game until I see more people playing this. I don't care if card games scare you, shut up and play the game, its so easy to get into and its worth doing multiple playthroughs. God I love this game.
This is my first time writing a Steam review, but I adored this game so much that I just had to sing its praise. The card mechanics are unique and engaging, not overly complicated but in-depth enough that it is fun to plan out each turn. Each of the three characters feel unique from each other, but none are lacking in power, and all play an important part in the team depending on which skill trees you go down. But while the gameplay itself it a lot a fun, for me the part that is truly engaging are the characters and the story. You get thrown into the deep end of a world that is very lore heavy and interesting, and learning more about it as you progress was so abundantly engaging. Flailing through that first run, just confused and unsure of who could be trusted, was a wonderful experience, and one that I wish I could go through again. But even with my many hours in the game I am still coming upon information and interactions that I hadn't seen before, and I have been loving learning more about this world. It feels so thought out even as you are only shown slivers, and very character has agendas and allegiance that make them seem like they have such full lives. I've been unable to stop thinking about this game since I played it, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has any interest in dark fantasy. Then, of course, there is the art, and I feel especially blessed to have received the physical artbook for this game recently. Gobert's style is absolutely gorgeous and the character designs are all so cohesive and unique, especially for the paladins. Every time I encountered another one of them for battle I was just utterly blown away with the thought that went into their armour, and how it reflected their powers or personalities so well. This has my favourite knight designs of any game I have played. I could ramble my praise about this game all day, but I'll just cut it there and state again that I very strongly urge everyone to give this game a try. Between the gameplay, story, characters and artwork, it just hits the mark in every regard.
An interesting mix of a visual novel and a card battler. The story is probably the main (and maybe the only) reason to play Crown Gambit—but it’s definitely worth it. I played it together with a friend, sharing our impressions along the way, and our paths ended up diverging completely. We met different characters, went through different events, fought in different battles, and in the end had two completely different playthroughs. And judging by the achievements, we both still missed a lot. The only downside is that Act 3 unfortunately drags the story into a chain of endless battles—about 10–12 in a row—and by then the combat system really starts to wear thin. Still, this is a rare hidden gem that I’d recommend to anyone. The game is cheap, so if you’re on the fence—just buy it. You’ll almost certainly get your 10–20 hours of fun out of it. Интересная смесь визуальной новеллы с карточной боёвкой. Сюжет, пожалуй, первое и и единственное, ради чего стоит играть в Crown Gambit, но сама история, а вернее, её построение того стоит. Мы проходили с другом и по очереди обменивались впечатлениями, и наши пути во многом абсолютно разошлись. Мы встречали разных персонажей, проходили через разные события, участвовали в разных боях и получили по итогу два очень и очень разных прохождения. И судя по ачивкам, и он, и я ещё многого не видели. Только в 3-м акте история скатывается к бесконечным боям, к сожалению, их там штук 10-12 подряд, а к этому моменту к боёвке теряешь хоть какой-то интерес. Тем не менее, это редкий хидден гем, который я могу посоветовать любому. Стоит игра немного, так что, пожалуйста, если соменваетесь - просто купите её. Свои 10-20 часов удовольствия вы из неё наверняка получите.
