After a long silence, 5Crowns finally continues its journey with a major new update.
This version adds two new chapters, new camp conversations, several gameplay additions, a visual overhaul for various parts of the game, as well as assorted adjustments and fixes.
The adventure of the Amethyst Fangs continues beyond the mines of Roches-sous-Pluie.
This time, Chapters 5 and 6 take you to the gates of the desert, in a brand-new environment where protection missions, new threats, and old friends will put your strategy to the test.
It is also a chance to finally discover the Emeriths, the second half of the people living on Aterah.
New camp conversations
The camp continues to grow with new scenes between your companions.
Between battles, take the time to stop by: some conversations revisit your allies’ past, others deepen their relationships, and others simply add new moments of life to the camp.
Among the new scenes available:
Our Honor & Childhood Friends
Two exchanges centered on Aaron and Athéo, to better understand the bond between them.
Past and Future
A lighter, more intimate moment centered on Sigert and Anna.
Redemption
A scene focused on Nysia, expanding her journey within the group.
And this is only a glimpse: more dialogues await you at camp.
⚔️ Cursed Legacy Mode
Chapters 2 to 6 are now playable in Cursed Legacy.
Unlocked after completing the game, Cursed Legacy is the mode for those who want to face the harshest version of 5Crowns: tougher enemies, less room for error, constant pressure... here, every action matters more than ever.
With this update, that challenge also comes with new achievements.
✨ Gameplay additions
This update also brings several smaller additions that enrich the gameplay experience:
- New skills
- New items
- Added an astral sign for each character *
- New achievements tied to the different game modes
* Each character now has an astral sign tied to their backstory, granting a slight stat bonus.
🎨 Visual overhaul
Several visual elements have also been reworked:
- Portrait overhaul for the first characters
- New visuals for the generic units of the different factions
Our earliest companions deserved a proper refresh, and the game’s different armies now have a stronger visual identity.
🔧 Fixes and improvements
- Fullscreen now works better, without making you lose mouse control
- Various minor adjustments have been made to improve gameplay comfort
- Several details related to balance, readability, and content have been revised
💬 A word from us
We also wanted to share a more personal note.
It has been a while since the last update, and we know the wait has been long.
And we are sincerely sorry about that.
5Crowns is a project we develop as a team of two, in our free time, with the invaluable help of people who lend us a hand on certain parts of the game. Even though we do our best to keep moving forward regularly, our pace is naturally tied to our personal lives and the time we can truly devote to the project.
That said, one thing has not changed: we deeply love working on this game.
Every update takes time, energy, and a lot of dedication, but we are still just as happy to bring this world to life and keep building it.
So thank you for your patience, your support, and for staying with us through the quieter periods.
