What Makes King Crusher – Roguelike Game Stand Out
"You have to be born a king or a madman to do what you want." For King Tease, it would seem that this is not a problem – for it's quite possible that he is both. For he decided that this world had far too high a number of monarchs and that only one should remain: him! And so he's sending out his Hand to slay all other rulers, to walk through forests, deserts, and green pastures, as well as volcanoes and cemeteries, in exchange for gold and glory but, more often than not, all they receive in return is… death and setbacks.
You, the King's Hand, should recruit a small group of fighters from twelve character classes: There are so many heroes to serve as cannon fodder for His Majesty's pleasure! Take advantage of everyone's strengths, move strategically on the field, collect all the items you find on your journey, put the bonuses you pick up in combat to good use and level up in this great adventure with its wacky and offbeat humor.
Dive on rogue-like and RPG game in an original way. Its dynamic gameplay is based on swipes and cleverly carried-out quick hits to attack, defend, and move using press/slide motions on the characters that make up the King's Hand.
- Build a team of fighters from 12 unique character classes and become the King's Hand
- More than 60 events and situations to overcome
- Defeat powerful kings, take their Kingdom's throwns to achieve domination
- Explore a quirky and fantastical medieval universe over 5 unique lands
- Swipe, attack with quick hits, move around using press/slide motions
- Build your strategy, earn loots to cast new spells and become the most fearful warriors to serve the Kingdom
- Pixel-art graphics with old-fashioned arcade feel and wacky offbeat humor
This Adventure game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This is our first review ever. We love rogue-like games and finally someone did it right for mobile. The mechanics and fights are difficult when introduced but very rewarding once mastered. Items/classes vary but arent overwhelming and rely on strategy to make them work well. Clearly the creator wasnt trying to cash in too which is much appreciated. The art style is also simple, but its cute and concise. Primarily we just wanna thank the dev(s) for putting out a thoughtful, super fun game.
Wow we dont know how to say this but you made our day ten million trillion times better just now.
Not only is it FREE but its also FUN!! We reccomend it and we dont play a lot of mobile games.
We love everything about this game.
Fun game! Does free to play well. Doesn't force you to watch adds.
Truly. Theres no online forums or community, but its really fun and accessible.
This game is sooooo fun OMG if you guys are not sure to get this game or not well u should because trust us ones u get it your not turning back its so addicting u dont understand just something about the game when you defeat the levels is so satisfying so if we were you we would get the game cause its worth it.
A really game and we feel we can open at anytime and enjoy playing ya know.
We really like this game its really fun.
Game is incredible in todays market of over complex, login everyday, bad online games. This game harkens back to classic pixel graphics and character classes of the 90s for a nostalgic, simple game that for quick or long play. Love it and looking forward to additional games by these devs.
This game is really fun we have been playing it for half an hour its really fun you should play it.
We love this game. This game is like, all we played for weeks! We love how there are barely any ads and ads only pop up if u choose which we really enjoy! Thank you for this game dev.
This game is almost perfect, in our opinion, we mean there are like one or two flaws but its not worthy of a star being taken away. Ive personally been addicted to this game for quite some time, they also need to make the game to where you dont need internet.
This game is 99% perfect. We cant stop playing and the music is fantastic. Also, we are not experiencing any crashes that other users are mentioning in their reviews. Nice work and keep it up! :).
So far the game is fun and dose not have any bugs or glitches any is over all very enjoyable and perfect for waisting time or relaxing.
We just downloaded the game yesterday and when we woke up we tried to play the game because we were bored but it crashed. So we tried again, crashed AGAIN. Im not gonna lie we love this game, its one of the best rpg games Ive played in our life.
Summoning numbers are clearly bull****. Otherwise nice little gem. To prove comment, not sour grapes, 25% chance for top hero have rolled 30x and gotten 0…broken or bogus either way sole flaw otherwise fun and good concept well made.
The game itself is neat , move your sprites around the 3×3 grid by swiping a direction keeping melee up front and ranged anywhere else, all the while staying out of enemy attack patterns indicated by targets that appear on the ground or other enemy movements. The game is a lot of fun and mostly fair in terms of skill will allow progression and paywalls dont seem to be present unless you want pay to unlock characters faster than the normal grind pace (which isnt too bad as most characters only have minor differences). Our only gripe with this game so far has been once in a while when incarnating ( summoning) a new character the game has frozen and as of now its just a close game and reopen fix. Once however the game did take our gems and not unlock the character after it froze and we restarted the app. Other than that a fun game all round. One last thing , Ill call it a glitch , your gem count seems to randomly say you have odd amounts like 4,444 or 6,666 no matter you actual amount on occasion. It doesnt affect anything per say but it annoying to think you have a hefty gem count only to click a summon and be denied the amount because you actually dont have enough. Anyway , good job devs keep up the good work.
Can't rerun application if u close it . FIX PLESE.
Like the game, but we cant beat the Phoenix. No where to research how to progress.
This game is very fun however it goes from 5 to 3 stars for a big reason: In order to even enter some stages of the adventure mode you need to fill your team with a specific hero type. For example if its looking for a priest class hero you need to have already unlocked a priest character. How do you do this? By summoning a random hero at the cost of gems, with no guarantee that youll summon the correct hero type of course. But good news- you can just spend more real $$ and get more gems, wow! Or grind for long periods of time and get them that way (eventually) This is terrible game design. You should be able to at least enter every stage, even if it means that without the intended class it might be more difficult. Getting your hero units past level 2 takes an inordinately long time as well. Honestly we wish they made a version of this for $10 or whatever that nixed all the MTX crapola. We know thats how most of these blood-sucking apps work but its too bad because otherwise this is a really fun game.
The game has great mechanics and is really fun to play, but we have now had 5000 GEMS eaten by the game because of a glitch. We go to do a master incantation and it just eats the 2500 gems before giving us any hero. We had had no issue with the previous 6 we had done but this has now happened twice in a row.
Fun game – novel mechanics, which we enjoy. But once youve played the game, and then close it, youre gonna have the dickens of a time getting it to reopen without it immediately crashing.
Super fun game, but we have not been able to play all day. Every time we open it, the game crashes now. Super frustrating as we paid money into this game to support the devs. Please fix.
This is a great game – when it works. It constantly crashes and has game-ending freezes/other bugs. Would be 4 or 5 stars if it were stable.
Game was fun until the second day then the application stopped opening and reinstalling didnt work… Waste of a few bucks for be adds we will be refunding our purchases.
Downloaded this the other day b/c of an online review but the app wont even open. If you have a iphone or specifically the iphone xr you might have issues.
The game just crashes every time we open it. We even tried re-downloading it, but it still just crashes. Im using an iPhone X with the most up to date iOS. So we have no idea why it wouldnt be working, but Im getting frustrated.
We payed 1.99 for the ad free version and was awesome! Until the game began crashing after we exited the app. We redownloaded the game and it still didnt work. Super disappointed because its a really well made game.
Game wont open. Crashes on open.
Doesn't even let us play keeps crashing first second we open it.
No complaints good for free game, always have loved this genre.
This game is pretty fun and unique. The hero summoning system,however, is frustrating. You play the game for a while to save up to summon an epic hero for 2500 gems. After saving up such a large amount, you end up getting a hero that you already have. To be honest, it makes you not want to play the game anymore.
Ive had the game for a couple days and its really good but for some reason we cant open it and Im mega sad now cause we really liked the game please fix so we can continue to use it.
It is a cool and fun, but the difficulty is absurd.
The game is fun, and has a somewhat unique grid-sliding combat system. You can obtain gems free at a reasonable pace to get the highest tier incantation (Simmons leaders that buff their troop type) without spending too much time. But once the game closes once (to where it resets, you can exit out and back in if you only visit like one other app) it wont open anymore. Id bet the 5-star reviews were either written the first time it asks you to rate, or theyre fake/paid reviews. Once the inability to play is fixed its a 4-5 star game.
The game crashes every time we attempt to open it.
Every time we try to open it crashes. Very fun :).
Easily picked up and played for a minute or two. Havent encountered any paywalls or obnoxious IAPs yet. So far, really enjoying it.
No pay walls… Fun mechanics, good characters and a fun campaign, would recommend.
Its an rpg…action….puzzle…gacha…board game adventure? Hard to classify, but it has some innovative game play and nice production values. Not sure yet if Ill hit a pay wall but at this point (just an hour or so in) its a ton of fun and worth a try.
Im not getting the gems for watching the ads. It says something about making sure our broomstick is able to fly? Makes no sense.
