## What is King Crusher?

"You have to be born a king or a madman to do what you want." For King Tease, it would seem that this is not a problem – for it's quite possible that he is both. For he decided that this world had far too high a number of monarchs and that only one should remain: him! And so he's sending out his Hand to slay all other rulers, to walk through forests, deserts, and green pastures, as well as volcanoes and cemeteries, in exchange for gold and glory but, more often than not, all they receive in return is… death and setbacks.

You, the King's Hand, should recruit a small group of fighters from twelve character classes: There are so many heroes to serve as cannon fodder for His Majesty's pleasure! Take advantage of everyone's strengths, move strategically on the field, collect all the items you find on your journey, put the bonuses you pick up in combat to good use and level up in this great adventure with its wacky and offbeat humor.

Dive on rogue-like and RPG game in an original way. Its dynamic gameplay is based on swipes and cleverly carried-out quick hits to attack, defend, and move using press/slide motions on the characters that make up the King's Hand.

 - Build a team of fighters from 12 unique character classes and become the King's Hand
 - More than 60 events and situations to overcome
 - Defeat powerful kings, take their Kingdom's throwns to achieve domination
 - Explore a quirky and fantastical medieval universe over 5 unique lands
 - Swipe, attack with quick hits, move around using press/slide motions 
 - Build your strategy, earn loots to cast new spells and become the most fearful warriors to serve the Kingdom
 - Pixel-art graphics with old-fashioned arcade feel and wacky offbeat humor

### 5/5 — Gâchis

*2026-08-09*

Jeu banger à l’abandon depuis maintenant 7 ans… Quelques dlc pour les anciens joueurs ?

### 4/5 — reset

*2025-12-07*

Muito bom, mas não  consigo reiniciar meu progresso de jeito nenhum. Deveria ter uma solução dentro do jogo pra resetar.

### 1/5 — Bad gatcha system and inflation

*2025-06-20, version 1.0.9*

Terrible gatacha system and inflated as hell. Need to get more gems from expeditions and gatcha only gets me virgil as summons several times in a row. Nothing new. Need better heros in the pool

### 5/5 — Incroyable

*2025-03-12*

Franchement j’adore et c’est avec plaisir que je met 2e dans le jeu

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2025-03-09, version 1.0.9*

It’s fine but get rid of the hurry up feature it’s annoying

### 5/5 — best game,best developer

*2024-11-13, version 1.0.9*

like any other game make by this dev it amazing,same pixel graphic,good gameplay by it genre!

### 3/5 — Fun, with one big flaw

*2023-04-11, version 1.0.9*

This game is very fun however it goes from 5 to 3 stars for a big reason: In order to even enter some stages of the adventure mode you need to fill your team with a specific hero type. For example if it’s looking for a priest class hero you need to have already unlocked a priest character. How do you do this? By summoning a random hero at the cost of gems, with no guarantee that you’ll summon the correct hero type of course. But good news- you can just spend more real $$ and get more gems, wow! Or grind for long periods of time and get them that way (eventually) This is terrible game design. You should be able to at least enter every stage, even if it means that without the intended class it might be more difficult. Getting your hero units past level 2 takes an inordinately long time as well. Honestly I wish they made a version of this for $10 or whatever that nixed all the MTX crapola. I know that’s how most of these blood-sucking apps work but it’s too bad because otherwise this is a really fun game.

### 5/5 — Je recommande vivement

*2022-09-15, version 1.0.9*

Jeu hyper amusant, sans pub, rapide, bien expliqué, addictif, et surtout magnifique! Un game play bien pensé! Je recommande totalement!

### 5/5 — Very fun and unique gameplay but i got a bug

*2022-07-01, version 1.0.9*

in classic mode if you pick no healing modifier and got an option to pick healing blessing then you’re stuck and have to give up

### 5/5 — It’s the game I’ve been looking for

*2022-05-15, version 1.0.9*

It’s just like dungeons and dragons into a pixalted form with really fun battles.
