About
Riven Crown is an action-packed Soulslike game in development, set in a high-dimension realm where battles are fierce, and destiny is ever-changing. Immerse yourself in a dark narrative woven with intrigue, betrayal, and the supernatural.
A World Beyond Death
After perishing, the hero ascends to a higher dimension where four ancient civilizations, each ruled by a king or queen in communion with their god, have transformed into hellish beasts. Petrified by the Great Sweep, these rulers and their people await a hero to unravel their fate. Explore a vast, interconnected world where new civilizations have risen upon the ruins, guarded by elder councils and black magic centers.
Epic Storyline
Unravel the mysteries of the past as you navigate through multiple worlds, facing the corrupt and the damned. Each death and resurrection shapes your journey, with the chance to alter fate at every turn. Beware of the curse that grows with each demise, and use rare items to stave off petrification.
Dynamic Combat System
Experience a combat system that merges fighting game mechanics with traditional action RPG elements. Master devastating combos by activating your super meter and save prisoners scattered across the world to summon powerful allies. Each weapon and armor piece you equip brings unique abilities, becoming permanent as you master them.
Intricate World Exploration
Delve into a richly detailed non-linear world filled with secrets and lore. Engage with complex puzzles and hidden codes, sometimes revealed through our social media posts. Explore haunting dungeons, desolate landscapes, and vibrant cities, all while uncovering the secrets of the ancient gods.
Strategic Gameplay
Utilize a unique dual-kick system: break blocks with a light kick or push enemies and destructible elements with a heavy kick. Block strategically with standing and low blocks to counter enemy attacks. Discover statues throughout each level to increase your threat level, unlocking encounters with formidable bosses.
