Development and release
Development and release
At ChinaJoy 2019, NExT Studios announced the game would come to PlayStation 4 in addition to its previously announced Windows version. In July 2020, Team17 announced a partnership with NExT Studios to publish the game to Nintendo Switch and Windows in Q3 2020, with a Team17 representative stating the PlayStation 4 version was still coming but they were focusing on the Nintendo Switch and Windows versions first. Crown Trick launched on 16 October 2020 for Nintendo Switch and Windows. In July 2021, it was announced the game would release on 31 August 2021 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The launch on these platforms was subsequently delayed to 7 September 2021. The game was made available as a day-one release on Xbox Game Pass. On 28 February 2023, it was removed from Game Pass.
Reception
Crown Trick received "generally favourable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator site Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received strong approval, being recommended by 89% of critics. Nintendo Life rated the game 8/10 and stated fans of the roguelike genre should check the game out despite some UI issues that needed addressing. PC Games rated it 8/10 and wrote: "The turn based fights are fair, due to their transparency and calculability. Nevertheless, the lack of proper replayability and endgame as well as the small amount of dialogue dull the experience a little." Pure Xbox also rated the game 8/10, and praised the art style, soundtrack, "complex" gameplay and "addictive loop". Vandal, rating the game 8/10, wrote: "The gameplay this adventure offers is much more serene, complex in the best sense of the word, and refreshing. A very interesting title, technically well-executed, and one that will surely be very well received by Switch and PC users."
