Evaluation

Crown Champion: Legends of the Arena launched on October 21, 2016 and received a series of post-launch patches through early 2017. The updates included new random events and balance tweaks (version 1.3, December 16, 2016), performance and stability fixes (version 1.4, February 14, 2017), and a final quality-of-life and bug fix patch (version 1.5, November 10, 2017). There have been no developer communications specific to Crown Champion since November 10, 2017 — now over eight years ago. The developer's subsequent news posts (from 2019 onward) are entirely focused on other Pilgrim Adventures titles such as the Space Pilgrim Academy series, The Deed II, and A Sceptic's Guide to Magic. A studio update from April 2019 outlines future plans for those other projects with no mention of returning to Crown Champion. No DLC has ever been listed for the game, no roadmap or future content was announced, and no definitive or complete edition was released. The game appears to have shipped as a largely complete product, received a handful of post-launch refinement patches, and then development concluded quietly. The last patch on November 10, 2017 is the most reasonable date at which the game's content was complete.
Evidence
Version 1.5 released with minor UI improvements, a bug fix, and achievement corrections. This is the last developer communication specific to Crown Champion.

About this game

From the creators of Rhe Deed and The Deed Dynasty and the Space Pilgrim Saga comes a fantasy RPG/Management simulator set in the ruthless world of gladiatorial combat.

In Crown Champion: Legends of the Arena you are not a hero, a noble ruler, or even a combatant. Instead, you are the new owner of a team of fighting slaves, one of the many factions who compete for the adoration of the common people in the ancient storied arenas of the Crownlands.

Your task will be to oversee the training of your fighters and build your estate into an effective school of combat, all while trying to enhance your personal reputation and standing among the nobles of the realm. This is an expensive business, and the king demands his taxes - so you must make sure to manage your treasury with care and attention.

Glory awaits those with a bold heart and a steadfast mind, as well as a place for their faction among the legends of the arena ...

Features

  • Inherit a dilapidated estate and a couple of fledgling fighters, and then over time develop it into a prestigious academy for your team of fighting slaves. Restore the ruined buildings and hire new staff to serve your every need, from doctors and trainers to cooks and scribes.

  • Progress through twelve arenas and dozens of opponents to reach the royal arena in the city of Aldmoor, where your slaves will fight for the glory of the king and queen.

  • Develop relationships with whichever fighters you choose to acquire from the slave ship, each of whom comes with a unique personality and a fully fleshed-out backstory.

  • Train your fighters and purchase new and stronger equipment as your fortunes increase, progressing through shortswords and basic leather coverings to halberds and full plate armour.

  • As your reputation grows you can also choose to become engaged with the turbulent politics of the realm, following a series of 'choice and consequence' based storylines and meeting many important characters along the way.

  • And of course, you must have a life outside of the arena. Find a husband or wife to share in your glory. Build stables and start keeping a team of racing horses to bring more money into your household. Forge a legacy to last the ages.
