Cinder & Crowns is a free-to-play mobile 4X strategy game (SLG) for iOS and Android, launching in 2026. Rise from the ruins of a fallen city-state, summon 30 legendary heroes drawn from across real history, and lead your alliance across a living, ever-shifting world map in the contest for the Golden Capital.
Each season is a new campaign. Build and expand your kingdom, master the counter between infantry, cavalry, and archers, coordinate rallies and sieges alongside your alliance, and contend for control of a sandbox that narrows as the season unfolds.
Cinder & Crowns is built around fairer competition: a season is decided by alliance coordination, timing, and command of the map rather than spending alone — no single player can buy their way to the top. Approachable for newcomers, yet deep enough to reward a full season of mastery.
