Century Games Launches New

                Century Games, the developer behind Whiteout Survival, has just soft-launched a new strategy game
                Called Crown of Bones, it sees you step into the shoes (toe bones?) of a skeleton king
                Lead your army of skeletal minions, upgrade them and duke it out with mortals
            

With the success of Whiteout Survival, it's little surprise that Century Games is continuing to branch out. But you may not have spotted their latest release, Crown of Bones, which has quietly slipped into soft launch in a number of regions, including the US and Europe. As for what it's about? Well, that's another story entirely.

Going off of what info is available, Crown of Bones is a very casual-focused strategy title that sees you taking on the role of a Skeleton King leading an army of equally thin-looking warriors. As you journey through the land duking it out with enemies you'll slowly upgrade your skeletal horde and experience a variety of environments, from temperate farmland to arid deserts.

Like Century Games' Whiteout Survival, this is very much on the family-friendly side of things, as they're eager to point out, with cutesy and inoffensive graphics. There's a big focus on upgrades, collectibles and the constant increase of challenges and levels, allowing you to even pit yourself against friends and strangers on the leaderboards.

Zandri Dust anyone?

There's not too much to say about Crown of Bones at the moment, apart from the fact that if Whiteout Survival is anything to go by I wouldn't be surprised if it takes significant inspiration from other strategy releases. At the same time, I can hardly blame them for that, as the casual-focused take on cold survival that emulated Frostpunk in their previous release proved to be a major success for the developer.

As we see more of Crown of Bones, however, I think I'll get more of a sense of where this new release sits. After all, Whiteout Survival proved to be a major hit, so maybe Crown of Bones is going to be their new flagship?
