Path to the Crown: Fantasy RPG

Spared from the gallows at the last moment, you set out on a road that may end at the throne.

Path to the Crown is a story-driven, top-down fantasy RPG with a living open world. Three books, eighteen chapters, many endings — and all of it free.

AN EPIC STORY • From a prisoner's cell to the Black Tower, the desert city of Goldsand, the Faerie Realm, the realms of Death and Fire and the Sunken City. • Skill checks, honour and ambition, bosses that surrender, and endings shaped by what you did. • 11 companions with their own quests, campfire talks and loyalty — and a dog that never leaves your side. • A rival hero rises alongside you: friend, partner or enemy.

YOUR HERO, YOUR WAY • 6 races, 14 origins, 6 classes and 12 subclasses: Knight, Archer, Mage, Witch Hunter, the shapeshifting Druid and the Assassin. • Choose your past — merchant, soldier, noble, outlaw, mage or farmer — each with its own opening. • Three-branch skill trees, level cap 60, loot with legendary powers and sets, upgrades at the blacksmith.

A WORLD THAT LIVES WITHOUT YOU • Seven factions wage war, make peace and form alliances. Armies march the roads; news arrives by raven. • Busy cities with guards and crime: get caught, stand trial — or talk your way out. • Plague, fire, fairs and royal weddings change the streets. Blood Moons, eclipses and comets light the sky. • Four seasons with their own weather, harvests and festivals.

SURVIVE AND SETTLE • Hunger, thirst, cold and sleep. Light a campfire, cook a meal, rest under the stars. Wounds need bandages and healers. • Build your own house on a plot you choose, furnish it and fill it with keepsakes. Buy property. • Farm crops and raise animals, fish dozens of species, craft at the forge and the tailor's bench. • Run trade caravans, sail to the islands, take contracts from the adventure board.

LOVE, FAMILY AND LEGACY • Court, marry and raise children; your heir can carry your story on. • Join a clan and rise through its ranks. • Become the village headman, raise your own banner, conquer regions and be crowned.

BATTLE AND GLORY • Field battles with dozens of soldiers; sieges with ladders and battering rams. • Hidden dungeons, treasure maps, and the bosses of the Endless Well. • Jousting and archery contests, a travelling circus and a tavern card game. • New Game+ and an optional permadeath mode.

PLAY YOUR WAY • Fully offline. No account, no ads, no data collection. • Touch controls on iPhone and iPad; keyboard, mouse or game controller on Mac. • English, Turkish, Japanese, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
