Wayward Crown

Wayward Crown is a management simulation game. You play as the head of Wayward Crown, guiding a group of free-willed adventurers indirectly through bounties, buildings, and economic incentives. You cannot directly control any character — you can only observe and manipulate the adventurer ecosystem as a whole.

Key Features

  • Indirect Control — Adventurers act on their own based on personality and needs; you can only influence them through bounties, buildings, and research
  • Rich Random Events — Over 50 event types, from blood moon invasions to treasure rain, making every playthrough unique
  • Deep Economy — Balance bounty payouts, building investments, market taxes, and adventurer spending
  • Large-Scale Battles — Supports thousands of adventurers and tens of thousands of enemies on the field simultaneously
  • Custom Levels — Built-in map editor and campaign editor to create and share your own scenarios
  • Plugin System — Add new classes, enemies, buildings, and language packs without modifying the source code
  • 15 Languages — English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, German, French, and more
