A rumble, a lightning flash – what was that in the shadows? In the next major expansion for Kingdom Two Crowns you are embarking on a quest to free Mount Olympus and prove you are a hero worthy of the gods’ favor.
Kingdom Two Crowns is a roguelite co-op tower defense and strategy game set in beautiful pixel art worlds, where you explore islands to discover hidden treasures, and manage and build up your Kingdom to defend it versus the sinister Greed – monsters that come at night.
This time your journey will take you to azure seas and beautiful shores as players can enjoy a completely reworked map – you choose which direction to sail in and which islands to explore first. Most islands will be dedicated to a specific god, and through completing brand new challenges you will win their favor and with them powerful rewards.
But tread carefully, hero, for in Call of Olympus there are new enemies of epic scales – powerful multi-phased battles versus larger Greed than ever, forcing the most experienced Kingdom player to think up new strategies and utilizing the new units. Speaking of new strategies, in Call of Olympus you will be able to lead from the front – raise the banner to have your hoplites and slingers form up in phalanx formation and march toward these new enemies.
Is it enough to bring down the new mighty foes? We’ve got good news – for the first time ever, you will now be able to assemble a fleet, capable of transporting troops between islands in addition of being equipped with powerful ballistae to support your forces.
There are plenty of more hidden rewards for you to find – either solo or in co-op – new mounts with new abilities (such as the Pegasus that can fly), artifacts with both offensive and defense abilities, and new fire technology for your Kingdom to withstand the threat of the Greed.
Kingdom Two Crowns: Call of Olympus will arrive together with the Kingdom Two Crowns 2.0 Update the 8th of October.
Kingdom Two Crowns
Raw Fury
In the brand-new campaign mode, monarchs must now work to build a kingdom that stands over time until finding a way to defeat the Greed for good. Explore the environments to discover new mounts and secrets hidden in the deep.
But you don’t have to rule alone! Introducing a cooperative play experience that is totally unique to Kingdom: Two Crowns, monarchs can now choose between a classic solo experience or seek the assistance of a friend, working together locally or online, dropping in or out at will.
In addition to the traditional medieval setting, Kingdom Two Crowns also includes:
• Dead Lands: Enter the dark lands of Kingdom. Play as unique monarchs, including the Shardbinder Miriam, with powerful traits from the gothic horror action-RPG Bloodstained. Ride the gigantic beetle steed to lay out traps, the eerie undead mount that summons barriers impeding the progress of the Greed, and from Bloodstained the mythic demon horse “Gamigin” with its powerful charge attack. Building your Kingdom has never been spookier!
• Shogun: Journey to lands inspired by the architecture and culture of feudal Japan. Play as the mighty Shogun or Onna-bugeisha, enlist the support of the ninja, lead your soldiers to battle atop the mythological Kirin, and form new strategies as you brave the Greed hiding in the thick bamboo forests.
We will continue to keep the feeling of exploration, discovery, and strategy alive in Kingdom Two Crowns in post-release updates with more themed settings, each with unique styles that marvel the eye while changing how you rule the lands.
A challenge awaits all who seek it here, whether you are a first-time ruler or a long-time fan. So be brave, great monarchs, for in the end Two Crowns shall reign stronger than one!
