Century Games, the studio behind the hit game Whiteout Survival, has quietly soft-launched a new strategy game: Crown of Bones. In this title, players become a skeleton king commanding an army of skeletal minions. The gameplay involves upgrading your undead forces and battling mortal enemies.
Given Whiteout Survival's success, Century Games' expansion into new genres is unsurprising. Crown of Bones, however, has seen a relatively low-key soft launch in several regions, including the US and Europe.
Available information suggests Crown of Bones is a casual strategy game. Players lead their skeletal army through diverse environments, from lush farmlands to barren deserts, upgrading their troops along the way. The game emphasizes upgrades, collectibles, and progressively challenging levels, with leaderboards for competition against friends and other players.
The game maintains a family-friendly aesthetic, similar to Whiteout Survival, featuring cute and non-offensive graphics.
Currently, details on Crown of Bones are limited. Its design may draw inspiration from other strategy games, a path that proved successful with Whiteout Survival's Frostpunk-inspired casual survival mechanics.
Further observation is needed to fully assess Crown of Bones's potential. The success of Whiteout Survival suggests this new title could become another flagship for Century Games. After playing, consider checking out our weekly roundup of the top five new mobile games.
