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 assume the role of a skeleton king, commanding an army of skeletal minions. The gameplay involves upgrading your forces and engaging in battles against mortal enemies.
Given Whiteout Survival's success, Century Games' expansion into new genres isn't surprising. Crown of Bones, currently in soft launch in regions including the US and Europe, offers a casual strategy experience. Players lead their skeletal army across diverse landscapes, from fertile farmlands to barren deserts, continuously upgrading their units and facing escalating challenges.
Maintaining a family-friendly aesthetic with charming, non-offensive graphics, Crown of Bones emphasizes upgrades, collectibles, and progressively difficult levels. Players can even compete against friends and other players on leaderboards.
While details are still limited, Crown of Bones appears to draw inspiration from other strategy games, a strategy that clearly worked well for Whiteout Survival. The developer's previous success with a casual take on survival, reminiscent of Frostpunk, suggests Crown of Bones could be another major hit.
Further observation will be needed to fully assess Crown of Bones's position in the market. However, given Whiteout Survival's popularity, Crown of Bones has the potential to become Century Games' next flagship title.
