Crown of Greed Out Today on PC, Letting You Buy Your Way to Empire Status
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Crown of Greed launches today on Steam, offering a fantasy RTS city-builder where players must use gold and bounties to indirectly command heroes and build an empire.
Real-time strategy games usually demand absolute control over every single unit on the board. Crown of Greed takes a different route, putting players in the role of a monarch who must fund every action rather than bark direct orders. Released today on Steam as detailed by Rock Paper Shotgun, this fantasy city-builder draws heavy inspiration from classic indirect control titles like Majesty, where subjects only move when the price is right.
Set in the realm of Rodovia, the gameplay revolves around setting bounties and managing a gold-driven economy rather than micro-managing troops in battle. Citizens and heroes feature individual traits, fears, and motivations that shift depending on how much coin is on the table. Alongside the indirect combat loop, players must handle traditional resource management and expand their settlements while dealing with European medieval folklore creatures such as Drowners and Baba Yaga.
For strategy fans looking for a fresh spin on resource allocation, the game also includes a heritage system for permanent kingdom upgrades over time. It offers a slower, more systemic approach to empire building that fits neatly into the current PC rotation. You can check out the release details and grab the game directly through the original coverage on Rock Paper Shotgun.
