  • gameplay116 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players enjoying the fun mechanics and unique blend of battle royale and MOBA elements, while others criticize issues such as long matchmaking times, clunky controls, and balance problems. Players appreciate the easy-to-pick-up nature of the game, but express frustration over bugs, slow item routing, and the need for more depth and complexity in gameplay. Overall, while the core mechanics are seen as enjoyable, significant improvements are needed in various areas to enhance the overall experience.

    • “The champions are all fun to play, the gameplay is ridiculously easy to pick up but difficult to master.”
    • “Fantastic aesthetic, fun gameplay, lots of genre ideas combined very elegantly.”
    • “The gameplay is fun, innovative and rewarding.”
    • “I have zero hours of gameplay as all of my playtime has been spent waiting for matches.”
    • “The routing is pitiful, making items is painfully slow, the interface is somehow even less beginner-friendly than ERBS, which I didn't believe possible until now. The combat is clunky, the map is too big and boring, the inventory is too small for how poor the routing for items is, health and mana regen so slowly that I think the game is just not telling me how the mechanic works, because there is no way they intend for it to be that slow and useless.”
    • “The developers change the core gameplay design every few months, meaning at any point this game can implode on itself because these developers seem incompetent.”
  • graphics63 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the nostalgic art style reminiscent of titles like Ragnarok Online and Tree of Savior, describing it as cute and visually appealing. However, some users criticized the low-poly design and poor optimization, leading to issues like low frame rates and lag. Overall, while the graphics are charming and fit the game's aesthetic, they may not meet the expectations of all players, especially those seeking high-end visuals.

    • “Really nice battle royale, with cool MOBA controls and lovely art style.”
    • “The graphics are nostalgic but great, this could be a good MMORPG.”
    • “The character design and art style is very similar to Tree of Savior and Ragnarok, so it might not be for everyone, but for me, that is a very refreshing take on the saturated battle royale genre.”
    • “The graphics are fairly poor, low poly stuff, but polished enough to hide most of the compromises that had to be made for the mobile platforms this was designed for.”
    • “Edit: the game almost bricked my potato PC for 2D graphics; the optimization is terrible.”
    • “Very low effort art style, with abilities that have little to no impact.”
  • grinding23 mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and frustrating, often leading to a tedious experience as they farm for resources and gear. While some appreciate the depth it adds to gameplay, many feel that the balance between farming and action is skewed, making matches feel slow and drawn out. Overall, the grind is seen as a significant barrier to enjoyment, particularly for those looking to unlock characters or progress without spending real money.

    • “Clearing a whole forest of boars, consuming multiple potions that you crafted, and still not getting the item that you were farming for is just infuriating.”
    • “The amount of randomness in drops, bugs, overpowered characters/items, and brainless farming materials just makes the game feel long and boring; every time I play, I feel like I am in a math class.”
    • “The grinding to unlock is pretty intense, but it's all part of the charm of a game like this.”
  • stability21 mentions

    The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, crashes, and server problems that disrupt gameplay and party systems. While some improvements have been made since launch, many players still experience character freezing, matchmaking difficulties, and a poorly designed interface, leading to a recommendation to wait for further fixes before diving in. Overall, the game's stability remains a major concern, impacting the overall experience.

    • “Huge major glitches/exploits need to be fixed for this game to be worth your time.”
    • “There are times in the match where the character completely freezes while your teammates are able to move.”
    • “It's not a beta; it can hardly even be called an alpha, so buggy is everything about matchmaking, queuing, party invites, etc. Trying to play with friends, everyone will have to restart constantly to fix random bugs like party invites not working, or sometimes you straight up don't connect to the game.”
  • monetization19 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game primarily revolves around cosmetic purchases, with three currencies: gold (earned through gameplay), crowns (for cosmetics), and gems (real money). While players can unlock all champions through in-game currency, there are concerns about the game's lack of advertising and ongoing issues, leading some to perceive it as a potential cash grab. Overall, players feel that improved advertising could enhance the game's visibility and player base, addressing matchmaking issues.

    • “The game is absolutely fantastic but there is no advertising, despite regular updates.”
    • “The monetization is 100% cosmetic.”
    • “Monetization consists of 3 currencies: gold - earned by playing, crowns - used for cosmetics, and gems - paid.”
    • “They haven't really fixed or worked on any grievances the community has had for over a year and instead just keep shoving more monetization into the game, which seems to be the standard Korean developer practice when you're running out of ideas and passion for your project.”
    • “All of the red flags you'd expect from a bad, lazy cash grab.”
    • “Characters are all costly to get and require real cash, painting the game in just a cash grabbing light.”
  • story14 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of engaging narrative and reliance on repetitive quests for currency, which can lead to a frustrating experience. Players feel that the progression system is overly reliant on grinding for gold, making it difficult to unlock characters without spending real money. Additionally, the initial gameplay experience with bots is described as dull and unchallenging, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “Kids, sit down, I'm going to tell you a story.”
    • “People complain about not being able to buy characters for free, but if you play long enough, you are constantly gaining gold through missions, daily logins, and your battle pass.”
    • “These quests are along the lines of this:”
    • “The issue is the only way to get currency isn't by playing the game; it's by playing a mini-game to complete quests outside of the matches to get gold.”
    • “Gating currency behind quests only causes a weird kind of bottleneck of power - you either buy diamonds or suffer painfully waiting for 18k GP at 60-80 GP a pop.”
    • “Now let's say you complete 3 quests a match; that's 86 matches for one champion. 9 champions x 86 matches = 774 matches or 2322 quests with no way to reduce that other than to pay for diamonds.”
  • humor10 mentions

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with many players finding it genuinely funny and enjoyable, drawing comparisons to popular titles like Fortnite and League of Legends. However, some users note that technical issues, such as bugs and connectivity problems, can detract from the overall comedic experience. Despite these drawbacks, the humor remains a key reason for recommending the game.

    • “Royal Crown is a funny game which has connections to Fortnite and League of Legends.”
    • “The game is really funny and that's the reason why I recommend it!”
    • “This game is very funny to play; it still has a lot of bugs and poor connection to play out of your own country, but it is funny... let's give it some time so they can fix it all...”
    • “This is the only problem that made this game not funny.”
    • “The humor fell flat and often felt forced.”
    • “I expected more laughs, but the jokes were stale and unoriginal.”
  • optimization8 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with users reporting significant stuttering and lag during multiplayer scenarios, particularly with more than four players on screen. While the user interface has seen improvements and is generally smooth, many players express frustration over poor performance and responsiveness, especially on lower-end systems. There are calls for further optimizations to enhance the gaming experience.

    • “The interface is very smooth, typical of line games, which makes it very easy on the eyes and enhances performance.”
    • “I really hope to see more stylistic choices and optimizations for this game.”
    • “UI performance is very good after the last update.”
    • “Anyway, you will sometimes experience the game stuttering/lagging when 4 or more people fight on the screen. My rig isn't bad, nor is my connection to the server, so I do think this is an issue with the game.”
    • “Bad game, don't care if it's early access, no excuses for the bad performance.”
    • “Poor optimization and interface/menu - pretty laggy... click once and the response is 3 seconds later.”
  • character development6 mentions

    Character development in this game is heavily influenced by anime aesthetics and features designs reminiscent of classic titles like Ragnarok Online and Tree of Savior, appealing to fans of those styles. While the character abilities draw inspiration from League of Legends, there are concerns regarding balance and leveling that need addressing. Overall, the cute art style and character design contribute positively to the game's unique identity within the battle royale genre.

    • “I completely enjoy this anime BR-RPG game; the gameplay is somewhat similar to League of Legends controls and Tree of Savior/Ragnarok character design.”
    • “The art style is cute, character design is great, and the map is the perfect size.”
    • “You can really sense the inspiration from League of Legends behind the character design and abilities, but they need to work on champion balance and leveling.”
    • “The character design and art style is very similar to Tree of Savior and Ragnarok, so it might not be for everyone, but for me, that is a very refreshing take on the saturated battle royale genre.”
    • “It's a free, top-down, 2.5D battle royale with MOBA-like mechanics and characters, and character design reminiscent of Ragnarok Online.”
