Enter the Necropolis: 'Undead Undertakings' Out Now

Steel your heart and ready your sword – the armies of the damned await in Undead Undertakings, the first major DLC expansion for Crowntakers. We invite you to brave the sinister depths of the Necropolis, where death and decay have left their foul footprints and mortals fear to tread. Battle horrors risen from their graves, including zombies, skeletons and vampires, lead your fellow mercenaries to victory and escape back to sunnier climes.
Features

A brand-new powerful mercenary joins the cast: Malda, the Druid, can take a fair bit of damage but also deal some back in return; attack your foes by sacrificing health, and regain it by absorbing their attacks.
Solve the mysteries of your fellow companions by completing each mercenary’s personal quest to awaken their full potential.
12 special items empower your mercenaries with unforeseen abilities; equip Zoe’s diary or Melic’s loaded dice and go all-out.
Travel through the unknown lands of the Necropolis, battle undead enemies like zombies, skeletons, and the realm’s dreadful boss.
15 additional achievements put your skills to the test.

Patch 1.2 live! Lots of new stuff!
Hi everybody! I know we have been kind of quite for the last few weeks since we were busy bringing the game to iOS and Android tablets. But that doesn't mean there is nothing new to come for the Windws/MAC/Linux versions of the game. A few moments ago, we released Patch 1.2 for C
Hi everybody! I know we have been kind of quite for the last few weeks since we were busy bringing the game to iOS and Android tablets. But that doesn't mean there is nothing new to come for the Windws/MAC/Linux versions of the game. A few moments ago, we released Patch 1.2 for Crowntakers! Here is the changelog: --------------- !!! WARNING !!! --------------- Your current saved game will be delete but not your mercenaries progression!

15 new items
2 new potions
New type of runes with special effects
5 new NPC
12 new achievements
20 slots in the inventory instead of 16
The map is now revealed during your exploration and doesn't appeared explored at the entrance of the floor anymore.
Enhanced map generation algorithm
The tavern is now at each floor's entrance
There is now a castle on each floor which will challenge the player and offer great rewards
Merchants now have specific items to sell

Balancing:

Enemies global balancing has been enhanced

Bug fixes:

Fixed: Time advances by itself
