Game length
Golden Krone Hotel is what's known as a coffee-break roguelike. A pickup and play style allows for short sessions and the save system lets you stop at any time. Winning runs take about 1-2 hours. Want a longer run? No problem! Just crank up the difficulty setting and attempt to clear all the optional branches.Amenities
Traditional roguelikes are a ton of fun, but usually come with an alphabet-soup of commands that make them tedious and unintuitive. Golden Krone Hotel has a modern, streamlined interface:- A very small number of controls, all of which are rebindable
- Completely playable with either mouse or keyboard
- Keypress hints on all buttons to help you learn shortcuts
- Tooltips on everything
- No inventory management!
- Items are picked up automatically and gear is auto-equipped
Before you buy....
Please be aware that, being an Early Access title, Golden Krone Hotel is not finished! It's lacking some of the the content, balance, and polish that will be in the full release. If, however, you're willing to play a game that's still in development and has the occasional bug, then buckle up. It'll be a fun ride.
December Update (v0.6): save system, new branch, new monsters, new class
A note on the save system:
It was quite complex to write, so there's currently no bells and whistles. You're allowed one save at a time, for now. Given how complex the code is, there may be bugs lurking in there. If you want to totally avoid the system, then don't save or exit a run before it ends. If you run into any problems with loading a current save, there's a button to delete your save in the options menu.
The first big update for Golden Krone Hotel has been released! Version 0.6 includes several content additions, control enhancements, and a save system.
