Crescent Hollow

Crescent Hollow is a 2D top-down action RPG set in the world of Anthropia, where you can change the environment and choose whether to help the empires or destroy them. You choose from four classes, each with its own story, and build an empire, assemble a party and develop your character. Combat supports local co-op for up to four players.

Classes and story

The four classes are Ninja, Dark Knight, Druid and Airship Pirate. Each has custom animations, a distinct introductory story in Chapter 1 and powers to unlock. After completing Chapter 1 with any class, you unlock build mode; in Chapter 2, the main characters meet and join forces.

Combat and party

Combat takes place in real time. The Ninja and Airship Pirate can unlock four melee attacks each, while the Dark Knight and Druid have one melee attack available by default. You unlock more powers as you level up, and can control and develop a party of three units, mixing and matching them. Each class starts with its own party units, which are either obtained through quests or summoned at a barracks in a major empire or town.

The game includes more than 30 fully animated creatures, including some that you can gain through quests and command with command scrolls. Not every enemy can become a party unit. Buying and using a command scroll at a barracks gives you a 15% chance to capture the soul of a special enemy as a command card, letting you summon that creature there. You also fight bosses, and can take part in real-time airship battles in the skies.

Build and explore

You harvest items from plants, trees and enemies, craft potions at an alchemy station, and cook food over a campfire. Gather wood, stone and ore to build your empire; the building system is tied to the main story quest, and becomes available after you complete Chapter 1 with any class.

Explore multiple overworld maps, islands across the seas and skies, and around a dozen biomes. A global clock drives the day-night cycle, with exclusive creatures appearing throughout the world at night. A calendar tracks the days of each month, and can trigger events.
