Announced a story-driven RPG with card battles "Break: Call of the Crown"
The independent team of Russian developers Lock On Games announced their debut project — a story-driven role-playing game set in an original fantasy world “Break: The Call of the Crown”. Its gameplay seamlessly combines the classic structure of jRPGs, turn-based battles, and an expressive visual style. Maps here are not a genre limitation but an important part of the artistic language that helps tell the story.
At the heart of the plot is the struggle for power in the kingdom of Sklavinia, which has recently experienced the death of its ruler and the loss of divine protection. Once, these lands were guarded by idols — chosen ones of the gods, endowed with supernatural power. However, after the king's demise, they lost their blessing and became mere mortals. Fifteen years later, the former heroes must embark on a journey again to restore their connection with higher powers, uncover the secrets of the past, and determine who is worthy of the crown.
The world of the game “Break: The Call of the Crown” is inspired by folk tales, court intrigues, and the aesthetics of the late 17th century. Players can expect lively dialogues, colorful companions with personal stories, additional quests, and tactical turn-based battles where they will need to wisely spend action points, exploit elemental weaknesses of enemies, and switch heroes during the fight.
The project emphasizes the atmosphere of a grand fairy tale adventure — cozy, dramatic, and visually captivating. The card style perfectly conveys the feeling of a living legend, but first and foremost, it is an engaging story about heroes, lost power, and the fate of an entire kingdom.
