Zelart and publisher HypeTrain Digital have announced Crown Must Hold, a new roguelike tower defense strategy game. This title offers a fresh twist on the genre by combining empire building with persistent progression systems. Players who enjoy managing economies while fending off undead hordes will find a familiar yet distinct challenge here.
Developers behind There is No Light shift to strategy with empire building
The project comes from the development team behind There is No Light, bringing their experience to a more strategic format. In Crown Must Hold, players construct empires using combined defensive towers to withstand relentless attacks. The core loop requires balancing immediate survival needs with long-term economic growth.
Gameplay centers on item-based empire customization and permanent progression that carries over between runs. This structure allows players to refine their strategies and unlock new capabilities as they advance. The roguelike elements ensure that each session presents unique obstacles despite the persistent upgrades.
Crown Must Hold is currently planned for release on PC platforms. The development team has not yet provided a specific launch date for the game. Gamers interested in tracking the project will need to wait for further updates from Zelart and HypeTrain Digital.
