Jul 25, 2025Crown Gambit is one of the rare video games that effectively combines a gripping story and engaging gameplay. The premise is a little familiar but the title, while borrowing from popular culture, focuses on three very likable characters and spins plenty of narrative threads smartly. Choices matter and replaying to test different paths is viable. The card-focused battles are fast and varied. The many boss engagements and the artifact fights ask players to carefully consider each hero’s abilities and when to dip into artifact use. Crown Gambit has only one slightly annoying idea, the chases, but all its other ideas work together beautifully to tell a good story using solid mechanics.

Jul 20, 2025For their first game, Wild Wits has created an adventure story that constantly gives us the impression of making the wrong choice, and the universe is so rich that it's difficult not to succumb. While the card game's mechanics are solid and offer small subtleties to help you stand out from the crowd, the battles still struggle to differentiate themselves from each other and prevent you from varying your approaches.

Jul 9, 2025It’s impressive that, considering its mix of two very different genres, Crown Gambit very rarely missteps. Through the ten or so hours I spent with Crown Gambit, there were very few moments were I wasn’t completely invested in the fate of Meodred. With fast-paced storytelling and a unique card system, this is a fascinating addition to your tactical combat collection, provided you can survive all that backstabbing.
