Our take on Mad Crown
The store presentation foregrounds the setting, tactical combat, and broad feature list, while the core run structure is more restrictive: death penalties, limited resources, inventory management, and changing dungeons define how each attempt unfolds.
What is Mad Crown?
Mad Crown is a roguelike RPG in a post-apocalyptic dieselpunk setting, where nuclear destruction and a war among colossal underground beings have transformed the planet.
Playing as an explorer, the player crosses mutated territory in pursuit of the Mad Crown, a relic with power comparable to that of the gods. Each dungeon run differs, and death carries penalties, making inventory control and careful use of scarce resources central to survival. Turn-based battles combine tactical decisions, equipment, ability cards, and enemies with varied behaviors. The game offers 10 character classes, over 200 items, boss fights, adventurer rescue interactions, and special modes. Fallen explorers may recover abandoned gear, while rescue teams can assist others.
