„Crowntakers strikes a really good balance between simplicity and complexity. It has just as much pick up and play appeal as lighter roguelike fare while offering a bit more to chew on.“
Shaun Musgrave, toucharcade, 4,5/5 stars
„Crowntakers is a tough combination of turn based strategy and Roguelike. It's quite satisfying, though.“
Jennifer Allen, 148Apps, 4/5 stars
„How many acronyms can you cram into a single game? Crowntakers is a PDL TBS RPG (that is, a procedural death labyrinth role-playing game with turn-based strategy combat) (…) and it’s really good fun if you like games like Final Fantasy Tactics.“
Michelle Star, CNET

5/5 - If you like turn based tactical medieval rpg's get this. Not as much story/length as final fantasy tactics, but frankly on iDevices I consider that a win. Bite sized battles, winnable in a day on easy, challenging on hard, good replay value. Only crashed once on 1st gen mini
5/5 - This is worth your money. You get a polished game, tactical battles, and thoughtful choices in exploration. Also big points for splitting the game into two difficulties. One being sort of roguelike with permadeath and the other much more RPG without permadeath and with consistent leveling. If you're thinking about this one, you'll probably thoroughly enjoy it like I do!
5/5 - This game should get much more hype. I've been playing it non-stop in my free time for over a week. Despite some bugs (which the dev's have been very quick to address), Each game feels quite different with the random locations within areas, random loot and different party builds. It's not easy at first, but learning different strategies as you go is enjoyable. Highly recommend this game!
5/5 - Big fan of this game. The battles are very tactical and the map navigation is really streamlined and fun to explore. This is a good one for any rogue-like fans. It's not super punishing, but it does present a nice challenge on the normal mode (haven't beaten it yet, but I hope a hard mode unlocks after doing so).
Reviews
Great game
Super Flyswatter
Fun affordable game for the ios. Unfortunately it can be a tad buggy but it’s usually not game breaking. I think it’s a little misleading, easy mode should be called normal and normal mode in the game should be called hardcore mode. Fix that, the bugs, and the ending and I’d change my rating to 5 stars.
Good game, tedious crashing
AudreyArndt
Fun, short game with lots of replayabilty value, but it crashes all the time, especially just after killing a boss (meaning you have to kill it again). Super annoying, but gameplay is still addictive enough to keep me playing.

I REALLY want to like this game.... but it just crashes WAY too often, sending you back multiple moves (sometimes multiple battles). Since it hasn't been updated for 2 years now, and with the amount of other players bringing this issue up, I really doubt the devs care about it enough to even attempt to fix it. You'd be better off spending your money in the AppStore on something that actually works like it's suppose to.

Fun but not perfect

I did really like this game but calling it an rpg is incorrect. It has the battle mechanics of like a banner saga ( which I like) but there are no role playing mechanics. The armor/weapons are all the same in terms of how you upgrade, only ability to customize is in gems with different perks. You can’t change how the armor/weapon looks. Also your main character is always a warrior, you can change some of his abilities but you can’t make him an archer or mage. You have to choose which companion is good at which task despite the companions never talk or interact with you so I have no idea how you would know one is good at singing and one is good at chess besides googling. The companions don’t talk to you and have no interaction. All the other “choices” are search the cave/hut or whatever for 9 hours and get more stuff or search the cave for 2 hours and get less stuff. Normal is too hard for relaxing play, which is what I want in a phone game. If I want something stressful/intense I’ll play a fully fledged PC game. But easy is too easy to be rewarding. It’s that ridiculous easy let’s you skip end of level bosses. Normal should be hard and there should be an actual normal difficulty level. Lastly, when I finally finished the game on normal ( which is harder than it sounds because of permadeath and items/XP not transferring to new character) the game cut out so I didn’t even get to see the ending, and not enough people play so I could easily find spoilers about ending online :(
Good But Buggy
Nickname forthcoming
It’s a good game that is a bit less complicated than other rogue-like games. It is more like Out There instead of FTL, but it is a lot of fun. One downside is that it has bugs. I have the DLC and am still unlocking all the mercenaries. But if you have a quest open to unlock a mercenary, the game will crash if you try to enter the Necropolis at the end of Step 2. It crashes every time, and re-installing the game will not do anything except cause you to lose the mercenaries you unlocked and your progress thus far. I learned this the hard way.
One of the greatest TBS games on ios ever
4AK
I download and play lots of strategy games on iOS, and most of them I don’t play for more than a couple minutes before uninstalling. This is one of those rare ones that hooks me so much that I even play it at home when I could be playing dota. Just an amazing game, up there with kingdom rush as one of the greatest ios strategy games ever. Wish there was more content.
Good hex strategy with plenty of replayability
DiscerningAppMonkey
Lots of fun and some unique twists. A bit buggy on my iPad Pro, but nothing major (mostly music cutting out in Viking stages).
Pretty good - a little glitchy
Stonedart
Story and controls are good. Movement fritzes during battle mode now and then but otherwise enjoyable game.
Great game but still can’t get to end game content
VivaElToro
This is a highly playable game with some really fun strategic elements. It could use some additional content and I have been unable to access the end game content as the program crashes every time at that point. However, even without it the game is well worth the time and money.
