Developed by Pilgrim Adventures · Published by GrabTheGames
You inherit a rundown estate and a small team of fighters in a fantasy realm where factions compete in gladiatorial arenas. As their owner and manager, you train them and work to build your reputation among the nobility.
Between bouts, tend to your fighters, choose their training and equipment, restore estate buildings, and hire staff. Keep an eye on the treasury as upkeep and royal taxes make money management part of running the school.
Progress through twelve arenas and face dozens of opponents on the way to the royal arena. Conversations reveal each fighter’s backstory, while choices can lead into political storylines; you can also pursue activities such as marriage and keeping racing horses.
Players who enjoy the game often describe it as a simple, absorbing management experience: they like developing fighters and their equipment, following the fighters’ personal stories, and seeing estate upgrades and choices shape their progress. Some also appreciate its lore and relaxed pace. Other reviews find the repeated train, heal, equip, and fight routine wears thin, and say that automated, luck-driven bouts can make careful preparation feel less consequential.
From the creators of Rhe Deed and The Deed Dynasty and the Space Pilgrim Saga comes a fantasy RPG/Management simulator set in the ruthless world of gladiatorial combat.
In Crown Champion: Legends of the Arena you are not a hero, a noble ruler, or even a combatant. Instead, you are the new owner of a team of fighting slaves, one of the many factions who compete for the adoration of the common people in the ancient storied arenas of the Crownlands.
Your task will be to oversee the training of your fighters and build your estate into an effective school of combat, all while trying to enhance your personal reputation and standing among the nobles of the realm. This is an expensive business, and the king demands his taxes - so you must make sure to manage your treasury with care and attention.
Glory awaits those with a bold heart and a steadfast mind, as well as a place for their faction among the legends of the arena ...
Inherit a dilapidated estate and a couple of fledgling fighters, and then over time develop it into a prestigious academy for your team of fighting slaves. Restore the ruined buildings and hire new staff to serve your every need, from doctors and trainers to cooks and scribes.
Progress through twelve arenas and dozens of opponents to reach the royal arena in the city of Aldmoor, where your slaves will fight for the glory of the king and queen.
Develop relationships with whichever fighters you choose to acquire from the slave ship, each of whom comes with a unique personality and a fully fleshed-out backstory.
Train your fighters and purchase new and stronger equipment as your fortunes increase, progressing through shortswords and basic leather coverings to halberds and full plate armour.
As your reputation grows you can also choose to become engaged with the turbulent politics of the realm, following a series of 'choice and consequence' based storylines and meeting many important characters along the way.
And of course, you must have a life outside of the arena. Find a husband or wife to share in your glory. Build stables and start keeping a team of racing horses to bring more money into your household. Forge a legacy to last the ages.
