Crown of Greed hits Steam later this month

A release date for BLUM Entertainment’s Crown of Greed has been unveiled today.

The forthcoming RTS/city builder will be released on March 31 on PC (via Steam). A release date trailer can be seen here.

A synopsis for Crown of Greed reads:

Step into the mystical realm of Rodovia, where you must guide your kingdom through cunning leadership and alliances. As the ruler, your choices dictate the kingdom's prosperity. However, the kingdom’s survival depends on Heroes, whose actions are not always predictable. Influenced by gold and self-interest, these Heroes will either save your realm—or doom it.

Will you find the right balance to lead your people and secure alliances with the capricious Heroes of Rodovia?

The game is narrated by George Ledoux, a true industry legend and an outstanding voice actor.

Crown of Greed introduces an indirect control system, where NPCs and Heroes operate with free will and advanced AI. Instead of issuing direct commands, you’ll influence their decisions through incentives, contracts, or even bribes. This innovative mechanic creates a challenging yet rewarding management experience.

Each playthrough is unique, thanks to randomized hero traits. You might recruit a powerful warrior who excels at fighting undead but is also lazy, making them less reliable in battles. These traits require players to adapt their strategies, balancing strengths and weaknesses to succeed.

As the game progresses, players unlock new hero headquarters. Each of them unlocks new spells and abilities.

The game can be wishlisted on Steam right now here. A demo is currently available for those looking to try it out.
