Crown Trick Reviews
While you may have to be prepared for a slow start and a grind, there's fun to be found in Crown Trick, thanks to its unique turn-based take on roguelike dungeon crawlers, its enjoyable and deep mechanics, and the vibrant world of the Nightmare Realm. Whether you're a patient player, a strategy buff or just someone looking for something different, NEXT Studios have something for you that might not be an absolute dream, but will be an interesting little fantasy.
A well designed, turn-based roguelike with a winning art style and a wide variety of options – even if it is a bit too random.
Crown Trick is a solid roguelike that stands out from the rest of the crowd, but is a bit sparse in the terms of content.

Crown Trick is slow to start and can't always get out of its own way, but patience is rewarded by a brain-twisting action RPG with a killer look.
Crown Trick is a classic dungeon crawler with some interesting new mechanics. Though it's not the most different game out there and not even an outstanding one, it does a good job delivering the vibe. Gameplay is engaging and the art style is really beautiful. If you're a fan of the genre, you should go for Crown Trick.

It’s only Roguelike but I like it!. Fun visuals and addictive gameplay await people who want to don the crown
Do you remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books when you were a kid? Probably not, most people reading this are a lot younger than me and were probably on Snapchat or something instead. They were books that at the end of certain points in the story, you chose what to do and turned to the appropriate page to see what happened. There are parts of Crown Trick that are like that but the only difference is that Crown Trick repeatedly kills you and I cant then turn back to the other page to rectify my mistake as I could in the books I once adored.
Crown Trick will go unnoticed by many, since it is not the best roguelike this year and has a very cartoon-like appearance. But underneath that layer, there is a complex game, with a variety of situations, weapons, enemies and much more. For fans of the genre, I recommend it, since it is different from other titles.

If you enjoy Mystery Dungeon games as much as I do then you'll absolutely love everything that Crown Trick has to offer.
Despite these drawbacks, Crown Trick very quickly dug its claws into us. While it may not be everyone and isn't as approachable as other recent attempts at the genre, it's unashamedly challenging in all the right ways. It has a beautiful art style, a fantastic soundtrack, complex gameplay and an addictive loop that will make you want to have just 'one more go'. It's a perfect Xbox Game Pass title and a fantastic game in its own right.
You’ll have to leave any run-and-gun sensibilities at the door when you jump into Crown Trick; it’s a game about thoughtful manoeuvres and carefully-planned attacks. But it results in combat that’s extremely rewarding, and a challenge that’s a lot of fun to take on. Progressing in Crown Trick may be tricky, but it’s never insurmountable – and you’ll be enjoying yourself so much that you’ll want to keep jumping back in, seeing if you can get that bit further next time.
Crown Trick is a cute dungeon crawler with a great sense of humour, lovely animation and plenty to discover to keep you coming back to take on the chaos.
With an enchanting art style Crown Trick is a delight to play, yet is challenging and frustrating before you master its combat system.
Crown Trick is a stylish and strategic roguelite that slows the usually frenetic pace of its genre down and introduces some rhythmic turn-based battling to proceedings. Elle's ability to blink around arenas, combined with the plethora of powers she gains from the many weapons, relics and familiars she encounters along the way, also adds plenty of variety and flexibility to the runs you'll make here. There are some UI niggles that need addressing, the inherently random nature of the core gameplay can plague proceedings now and again and busy battles can become hard to read at times but, overall, this one's a very solid effort that fans of roguelites should definitely check out.
Crown Trick is a very cute, addictive and thoughtful game with a small number of problems. The biggest one lays in the dungeons' sameness.

While not perfect, Crown Trick has managed to give a unique rogue-like experience to a genre oversaturated with copy-paste ideas.
Crown Trick is a charming roguelike that oozes personality. The gameplay is challenging but fair, It’s a rewarding experience for those who stick with it. Fans of the genre will want to give Crown Trick a play.
Crown Trick presented the Roguelike style of games in a distinctive and beautiful way with a variety of items and weapons, but there is a problem in loading trenches that may sometimes make you close the game completely and it was rather annoying, personally the game is one of the games that impressed me with its design and gameplay.
