Key Takeaways

  • Crown Me Again mixes incremental clicker combat with ARPG-inspired loot as you rebuild the fallen Skull King's power.
  • Developer Oskar Suslow reports 1,500 Steam wishlists in its first seven days.
  • The game is listed for Windows and macOS, with no release date announced.

Crown Me Again is an upcoming loot-driven incremental game from The Code Otter that puts you in charge of a fallen Skull King trying to regain his place at the top.

In an update sent to us, developer Oskar Suslow said the game reached 1,500 Steam wishlists in its first seven days.

The premise has a nice reversal to it. You’re the dungeon boss, the adventurers keep coming, and your once-impressive reputation isn’t going to stop them.

Even the Boss Needs Better Gear

According to the Steam page, combat combines clicking with equipment, abilities and modifiers that can be stacked into stronger builds. Loot spans seven item types and five rarities, including weapons, armor, jewelry and Unique items.

Successful runs move you up the Boss Ladder toward rank one, while persistent progression strengthens subsequent attempts. The listing doesn’t spell out exactly what carries over after death.

That’s honestly the part I’d want to get my hands on. Finding a piece of gear that changes how a build works is a big part of the appeal of loot-heavy RPGs. Giving that habit to a washed-up dungeon boss is a funny reason to keep chasing the next upgrade.

Suslow told Morganyte the wishlist total had reached approximately 1,750 after eight days.

He attributed most of the attention to Reddit and his own YouTube channel, with little press or creator coverage.

Crown Me Again is available to wishlist on Steam for Windows and macOS. Its release date is currently listed as “Coming soon.”
