When crowns tremble, blades rise. The kingdom of Bianké is crumbling. Behind the golden halls, the king’s succession promises to be soaked in blood. Nobles arm themselves in silence, princes move their pawns… and the enemies of the realm no longer wait. In this creeping chaos, you play as Athéo , a commoner with no title, driven by the desperate need to save the one who remains . He leads the Amethyst Fangs , a mercenary company bound by a strict code of honor, soon caught in the storm of war. But 5Crowns doesn’t follow just one banner. You’ll traverse multiple fronts, witness conflicting truths, and command heroes with diverging ideals – all caught in the downfall of a collapsing kingdom. A forgotten duchy rises in the mountains. A young princess, sidelined by the court, tries to make her voice heard. At her side, a duchess forged by exile and war gives her more than shelter: an army, a hope, and a land ready to defy the laws of the realm. Among the nobles, others rise. Agraé , heir of the Fox, walks the tightrope between loyalty and truth. Goldy , a marquise marked by a broken oath, follows the shadows of her past through the Obsidian Blades. Around them, young knights and heirs question everything: should they still serve the crown… or prepare for its fall? And in the silence of cathedrals, another war brews. For while Éonn still guides the faithful, others whisper the promises of Nyx . Forbidden cults awaken. Old beliefs falter. And faith, like power, becomes a battlefield. ⚔️ GAMEPLAY Turn-based Tactical RPG : every mistake could cost you dearly.
