Broken Crown

Broken Crown is a fantasy real-time strategy game about building a kingdom, managing its economy and commanding armies in large-scale battles. You gather resources, construct buildings, expand your settlement and develop its military infrastructure, balancing investment in the economy with preparations for war. You recruit units, organize them into formations and lead them across the battlefield.

Human and Orc campaigns

Play as Humans or Orcs in two campaigns that present different perspectives on the conflict. Humans believe the Orcs have invaded their lands and fight to reclaim what they lost. The Orcs are fleeing a greater threat and must decide whether to seek survival through coexistence or conquest.

The game currently has 20 campaign missions: 10 for Humans and 10 for Orcs. Missions include defensive battles, resource objectives, convoy escorts, diplomacy and sieges, with multiple commanders and varied environments. Some missions feature neutral settlements with their own workers, buildings and economies. Bringing your King to a settlement may allow you to form an alliance and gain the village and its forces.

Build and command armies

Protect key positions, secure resources and choose when to strengthen your economy or prepare for battle. Humans favor disciplined, defensive forces, while Orcs take a more aggressive approach. Each faction also has its own units, and you can develop your military to unlock stronger troops.

You can direct your army with four formations: Square, Wedge, Circle and Wide. These affect how your forces move and approach combat.

Game modes

Alongside the campaigns, Broken Crown offers several ways to fight:

• Skirmish: build a base and battle AI opponents on standalone maps.
• Endless: develop your defenses and survive increasingly dangerous waves of enemies.
• Multiplayer: create or join player-hosted matches, choose a faction and fight on official or Workshop maps.

Create and share maps

Map Studio lets you build battlefields within the game. Shape the terrain, place resources, choose starting positions and decorate the environment. Maps can support 2 to 8 players and up to 1,024 placed objects.

You can publish maps to Steam Workshop and download maps made by other players. Workshop maps can also be played in multiplayer. Players who lack a map required for a lobby can subscribe to and download it before the match; the game checks that everyone has the same map version before the match starts.
