Crimson Quest Demo

In the Crimson Quest demo, you can:

• Hunt field monsters and turn them into your allies.

• Collect and command the souls of enemy monsters to grow your abilities as a commander.

• Interact with various NPCs and experience random encounters.

• Try out most of the equipment and skills that will appear in the full version.

• Explore diverse regions such as grasslands, forests, deserts, and caves, and encounter unique monsters in each area.

The RTS genre typically requires players to control all their bases and units across various fronts, demanding multitasking skills. In contrast, Crimson Quest allows players to control a single character who becomes a self-sustaining base capable of producing units (monsters) with diverse traits and combat towers. This empowers a small demon with immense production capabilities, combining the excitement of real-time roguelike exploration, light action elements, and fun. It’s a fresh and unique genre that achieves a perfect blend of traditional RTS elements.

Explore.

Discover various objects through exploration and identify the locations of wild monsters inhabiting the field in advance.
You can open the map to mark desired areas, and if you've unlocked the scouting feature, you can use it to survey distant locations!
If you want to grow faster than enemy forces, you need to move strategically without wasting any movements.

Gather resources to create monsters and towers.

You can use worker monsters to mine energy deposits scattered across the field or open various treasure chests that appear when you get close to acquire resources!
Monsters require more ores as their tiers increase, and towers require different amounts of resources depending on their type.
You can also exchange surplus resources with a traveling resource collector for other types, so it’s a good idea to find out where he is.

Beware of enemy growth.

It's best to choose the type of stage carefully.
Depending on which stage you select, one of the two enemy factions will grow.

Level up your desired ally monsters.

You can acquire souls by killing enemy monsters or scavenging monster corpses scattered across the field.
Try to save as many souls as possible, as they will be converted into conquest experience points for the corresponding monster through the soul tally conducted after completing a stage, allowing you to level them up.
Leveled-up monsters can learn summoning skills or receive bonus souls at the start of a stage.
Additionally, monsters that reach the maximum level will gain a special benefit.

Beware of the kingdom's heroes!

The three heroes will pursue you in real-time, gradually closing the distance.
They do not die and will only retreat a bit if defeated, but they will resume their pursuit shortly.
Unlike the general growth of the two enemy factions, heroes hunt enemies themselves to gain experience.
Each hero will acquire a unique skill once their experience is fully accumulated, and as they gain more skills, they become uncontrollably stronger, so it's advantageous for you to deal with them as quickly as possible.

Use various items efficiently.

The different items you can obtain from treasure chests and stage rewards will be very helpful on your journey.
Items can be broadly categorized into consumables and equipment.
Consumables include various potions that can restore health, cure status ailments, and provide beneficial effects. Additionally, there are various traps that can be used to deal damage to enemies.
Equipment items provide passive means of attack and grant the player an advantage through special abilities from unique equipment items.
