About

Crown Roads

Features
Read full description

This adventure is the continuation of what happened in KingConquest. After that battle, the village was left badly shaken by a new threat, and now it is your duty to help rebuild it piece by piece. In Crown Roads, you have to find the correct path, connect the locations, and organize the routes to get the village back up and running. There are maps you can analyze calmly, others that disappear, and some where you will have to think fast. It is an adventure that is easy to start, but some puzzles get tough. Play at your own pace, try different paths, and help the kingdom rise again.Crown Roads is free and made for spending some time, thinking a little, and enjoying an adventure with pixel art style (and great music).
