Crown Wars: The Black Prince takes place during the 100 Years’ War, which pits several royal families against each other in bloody conflicts, the outcome of which will determine who dons the crown of the most powerful kingdom in the West. The game brings its own unique twist to this mediaeval setting: a story tinged with touches of dark fantasy and occult forces, the influence of which is reflected in the gameplay.
With six classes to choose from, players can define their own combat strategy by forming a squad combining physical power and exceptional skills. The varied profiles of each character also enable them to build an army with an identity of its own.

A system of cover, positioning and skills combinations, where it is important to make good use of the terrain and surroundings
Complex turn-based tactical situations
A host of main and secondary objectives to complete
A wide variety of weapons to choose from and develop, depending on soldier class and the strategy employed
