Crownfall
A small board. A dangerous climb.
The enemy tells you what comes next. Find the match that keeps you alive.
Crownfall is a tactical match-3 roguelite about climbing a fallen mountain kingdom. Turn jewels into attacks, protection, healing, and powerful abilities. Choose your route, shape your build, and reach the Crown Dragon at the summit.
Play free in your browser. Touch or mouse. Portrait fullscreen recommended.
Four heroes. Four ways to play.
- Knight — Swap. Build Guard with strong matches, then turn a coming blow into a counterattack.
- Mage — Inscribe. Trace Sigil paths to reshape jewel colors and prepare a magical payoff.
- Rogue — Chain. Connect matching jewels along a path and push your luck for a larger return.
- Cleric — Slide. Shift whole lanes, heal through danger, and set up the next turn.
Begin with the Knight and unlock the other heroes through play. Each changes how you approach the same board.
Build your way to the summit
Five regions lead from the overgrown Moss Ruins to the Dragon Crown. Branch through battles, camps, merchants, strange encounters, and treasure. Read each enemy's intent before committing your move.
- Evolve your abilities. Choose mutations and master the path that suits your run.
- Weigh every relic. Powerful benefits arrive with tradeoffs.
- Change the board itself. Special jewels and permanent-for-the-run carvings create new possibilities.
- Return with more options. Unlock heroes, equipment, talents, Ascension choices, and deeper challenges.
Take your time. Make your move.
Enemy turns follow your actions, so you can study the board before you commit.
- Swap: tap two neighboring jewels, or drag one jewel one space.
- Match: line up three or more. Larger matches create special jewels.
- Use your hero's hand: drag a longer path for the Mage or Rogue; slide a lane as the Cleric.
- Fight: choose an enemy target and spend your resources on abilities.
Settings include sound, Reduced Motion, and Low Effects.
Bring a party — optional beta
Two to four players can join an online campaign. Each hero has a separate board while the party shares the fight. Co-op is experimental and depends on browser and network compatibility.
