Century Games, the creators of the hit game Whiteout Survival, have quietly soft-launched a new strategy game: Crown of Bones. In this title, players become a skeleton king commanding an army of bony minions. The gameplay involves leading your skeletal troops, upgrading their abilities, and battling mortal foes.
Given Whiteout Survival's success, Century Games' expansion into new genres is unsurprising. Crown of Bones, however, has seen a relatively low-key soft launch in various regions, including the US and Europe.
Based on available information, Crown of Bones is a casual strategy game. Players assume the role of a Skeleton King, leading their army through diverse environments, from lush farmlands to barren deserts, upgrading their forces along the way.
Maintaining a family-friendly aesthetic similar to Whiteout Survival, the game features charming, non-offensive graphics. A key focus is on upgrades, collectible items, and progressively challenging levels, with leaderboards allowing competition against friends and other players.
Currently, details on Crown of Bones are limited. However, its gameplay might draw inspiration from other established strategy games, much like Whiteout Survival took cues from Frostpunk. This isn't necessarily a criticism, as the casual approach to survival in Whiteout Survival proved incredibly successful.
Further observation of Crown of Bones will reveal its unique qualities. The success of Whiteout Survival suggests Crown of Bones has the potential to become another flagship title for Century Games.
