Down into the Ashcrown crypts
Kingdom Bones is a free 3D co-op dungeon crawler that runs in your browser, with no download. Up to four Highcrown heroes fight through generated floors of crypt, bone and spider web, with a boss waiting at the bottom of each descent and the Princess at the very end.
How to play
- Move with W A S D or the arrow keys, or the on-screen stick on a phone.
- Attack with Space, or the big button on a phone. Your hero hits the nearest enemy.
- Abilities are on Q and E, with two buttons on a phone. Each has a short cooldown.
- Pause with Esc or the pause button.
- Heroes fight on their own when an enemy is in reach. Skeletons wake when you get close, so peek into a room before you rush it.
- Grab the gold and red potions. Chests hold more, and the fountain room heals the party.
- Defeat the guards in the last room of each floor to open the stairs, then pick a blessing for the next floor. Floor 3 ends with the Bone Captain and the Princess.
- If a hero falls, a friend standing next to them for a couple of seconds picks them back up. If everyone falls, the run ends.
- Panels can be minimised with the small tab on their corner, to give you more of the screen.
The heroes
- Knight Champion, guardian. Silver plate and a shield wall. Soaks up hits and pulls enemies onto himself.
- Female Knight, vanguard. Fast with the sword and a quick shield bash. Leads the charge into every room.
- Ranger, archer. Stays back and shoots. Long range, piercing arrows, a roll to get out of trouble.
- Druid, healer. Antler staff and a pack of potions. Heals the party and roots enemies in place.
- Engineer, tinkerer. Drops turrets, repairs doors and hits hard with a very large wrench.
- Shield-Maiden, berserker. Two ponytails, one axe. Gets stronger the lower her health drops.
- Viking Warrior, brawler. Horned helmet and a spinning axe. Hits everything around him at once.
- Dark Knight, duelist. Blackened plate, one eye slit. Strikes hard and fast against a single target.
