Team17 have announced they are working with developers NExT Studios, to bring Crown Trick, the rogue-like RPG to PC and Switch later this year, check out the trailer below.

Set in a procedurally generated maze-like dungeon, Crown Trick is steeped in strategic, synchronous, turn-based gameplay where enemy decisions and actions are only revealed when players make their moves, and features hundreds of weapons, skills, and items on hand to customise and evolve the combat style as the quest progresses.

Stephen Lin, Producer at NExT Studios, said: “As we prepared Crown Trick for its release, we wanted to ensure we found a partner that could maximise its success outside of mainland China. With its strong sense of spirit and track record of success, we could not think of any better than Team17. Crown Trick’s imaginatively unique synchronous gameplay, coupled with roguelike action, is a compelling and strategic experience, and we’re looking forward to launching it in the West with the support of Team17.”

Max Everingham, Head of Publishing at Team17, said: “Crown Trick is roguelike royalty, a beautifully realised and unique experience thanks to its mix of gameplay features, and fits perfectly with our portfolio of titles. The Nightmare Realm, its traps and monsters, and its procedurally generated maze provide a deadly and compelling environment for strategy and RPG fans alike.”

As the enemies will only move when you move, each action you take will need to be thought out, in order to ensure that not only you survive, but your enemies are defeated. This is made all the easier, with a massive array of weapons and elements as your disposal and with each combination, you should find new and interesting ways to remove any obstacles in your path.

There is no firm release date yet, but they are aiming for a Q3 release this year, for both PC and Switch.
