    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.

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

    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.
