Crystal Collapse is the first game from The Lion’s Tower. It brings the world of Tactical Japanese Role Play Games (TJRPGs) to the table top, with stunning anime styled visuals, a classic JRPG type storyline and slick and engaging gameplay

FUNDED ON GAMEFOUND! LATE PLEDGES ARE CURRENTLY OPEN!

Crystal Collapse is a tactical miniatures wargame that brings the beloved gameplay of tactical JRPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, and Fire Emblem to life as an immersive table top experience.

By fostering an engaging atmosphere where players collaborate and compete, it combines strategic decision-making with dynamic card management to create a unique gameplay experience.

Each player commands a diverse set of characters, each with their own skills and abilities, allowing for deep tactical planning and creative strategies, making every session not just a game, but a thrilling adventure filled with memorable moments and challenges.

SOLO/Co-Operative Mode – Battle Monsters for Rewards

We are taking the opportunity to expand the game by adding a Solo/Co-operative mode to the game. This allows you to pitch your heroes against enemy monsters including Hobbes and Slimes. Play alone against a group of monsters working under our AI mechanics, or split your party with a friend and tackle the monsters together.

We’re bringing you Hobbe warriors and archers as well as a fearsome Hobbe King! We’ve even added a solo scenario called Find the Flame which pits you against the fearsome might of the Therion Ifrit, Lord of Fire!

Crystal Collapse is filled with beautiful artwork in a JRPG/Anime style by lead artist Alexandro Oukino.

In Crystal Collapse, every Hero has unique profiles, along with Active and Passive abilities, giving you endless ways to tailor your team. With careful selection, you can create your own meta by combining complementary skills to maximise synergy.

As we add new characters, the possibilities multiply—craft a powerful party with strategies all your own and adapt to face any challenge the game throws at you!

Through our Gamefound Campaign we have unlocked a total of 20 unique heroes to combine to make your dream team! Either play a complete thematic faction, or mix and match your favourite heroes from all factions to form a party built around your preferred play style.

Pick your Heroes from the Mighty Court of Vaaland, the Noble Exiles of House Besalia, the liberators of the Rosenburg Rebel Army or the Crystal Guardians of the Gysha Nomads.

The choice is yours!
