Crown of Greed releases in 2025 for the PC
Crown of Greed is a real-time strategy-building game, where you can construct buildings, build an economy, and then look to sign contracts with local heroes to help you battle with the undead hordes that will be plaguing your land.
It sounds similar to The Settlers setup, where you start with a castle and then command your subjects to build certain buildings, construct defenses, and gather resources to build up a strong army of followers.
Once you have enough gold and resources you can start looking at hero contracts to help complete objectives and missions. It seems the heroes have a lust for gold.
Here’s a brief overview provided by Blum Entertainment:
