    it's so cool . Imagine if long ago, Dungeons fell in love with Secret of Mana. Somehow, this game came forth. A weird mix of both games styles: The absurd and the adorable, the silly and the strange. I like it.

    The gameplay is so addictive! When I blink between monsters and keep breaking them, it feels so safistying that I'm always at maximun attack. Blink/Break/Mana system works brilliantly together!

    There're a lot variety in terms of weapon/relic/item/skills that leads to many types of builds. Since it's a random roguelike game, you build your character on the way and make the best out of it based on what you get. Overall it's balanced pretty well. After playing more and more runs, build choices also increases. The only downside is that powerful relics/weapons don't drop often. if this can be addressed, then many runs could be more enjoyable.

    Again, this game is NOT action oriented, it's a turn-based roguelike RPG focusing on strategy. So take you time to plan you next move! This experience is pretty unique consider a lot of recent roguelikes are action based.    … Expand

    Because I was lucky enough to participate actively to the beta test, I've fall in love with the gameplay and the storytelling of the game. I'm not use to play "turn based" game as I have always thought it's boring and not very challenging, but this game is all about planning correctly your next move, if you make mistakes then you'll pay the price.

I become more and more hardcore player with this game because there is so many build that are to investigate.
    The casino is for me a turning point in the run, if you got unlucky during the run a good and smart use of the casino can help you to go back in track or you can continue to be unlucky, but that's what casino are right?
    The only point I don't enjoy tho is the weapon gachapon, it's not really useful in my point of view.
    If you are looking for a game to play brain-dead then this game won't suit you, but if you love challenges and want to overcome yourself constantly then you are more than welcome to experience this game.    … Expand

    How this game got 84 is a mystery covered by "Tencent".
    Fighting mechanics are bad for necrodancer-like mechanics.
    Loot is bad. You might get 0 synergy whole run and kill boss with starter weapon. Grind is 1 skill per 1-4 full runs. AND CASINO! One-armed bandit where your winning chances is in 0.001% range AND GACHA!! Random events also boring. Cursed chests and buffs are wildly    How this game got 84 is a mystery covered by "Tencent".

    Random events also boring. Cursed chests and buffs are wildly unbalanced (some require 1 mob kill and other require you to not change your weapon for 3 floors. Act have 4floors and boss)

    2 only for nice looking graphics.    … Expand

    Good game that does not last long. Beating the story and seeing all of the items repeatedly defeats this one. Completed 100% in less than 25 hours.

    La idea de Crown Trick está bien, pero la ejecución de la misma acaba a medio camino de dos sitios, en tierra de nadie.

Por un lado, el ADN básico de Crown Trick son los juegos estilo Hades donde vas explorando e iterando con cada intento en medio de acción frenética, esquivando, atacando y usando distintas armas y habilidades. El otro lado de su ADN es un juego que es por turnos, lo cual contradice profundamente lo que el cuerpo te está pidiendo que hagas si fuera del otro tipo de juegos. Y, a la hora de ser por turnos, es demasiado sencillo lo que se puede y no se puede hacer, sin un combate realmente complejo lleno de profundidad e interés. Y la progresión es muy limitada, con unas tiendas que desbloquean algunas mejoras pero tampoco nada demasiado profundo o game-changing.

    Gráficamente el juego es discreto en el mejor de los casos, con atajos de distinto tipo para ahorrar en animaciones y otros elementos. El sonido cumple, pero rápidamente se vuelve repetitivo. Al menos, eso si, no me encontré ningún bug durante mi tiempo jugando.

    El resultado es que, aunque es una buena idea, la ejecución la acaba dejando en insuficiente. Un 4    … Expand

    A very unique and chill roguelike. Compared to other games like this this one is really easy. I think i needed 2 tries at most for all the runs but imo this is perfect. Not every games must be insanely difficult like enter the gungeon for example.

    Un roguelike por turnos adictivo desafiante y con una estética muy acertada. Es una lástima que la traducción al español sea tan mala. Para mi ha sido imprescindible jugarlo en ingles para entender muchas de las mecánicas principales del juego, objetos y habilidades.

    Typical roguelikes are usually a nightmare for me, but Crown Trick turned out to be pure pleasure. Its synchronous turn-based gameplay gave me +50 to calmness and +10 to good mood, as I could take all the time I needed to plan my steps. I actually felt I was playing a turn-based tactical shooter rather than a roguelike. Apart from being fun, the game looks and sounds cool. [01/2021, p.60]

    Crown Trick is a very cute, addictive and thoughtful game with a small number of problems. The biggest one lays in the dungeons' sameness.

    The cute shell holds challenging combat and a mature story. The turn based fights are fair, due to their transparency and calculability. Nevertheless, the lack of proper replayability and endgame as well as the small amount of dialogue dull the experience a little.
