About Krovnik
Step into the battered boots of a dethroned monarch seeking revenge in Krovnik – a relentless, fast-paced indie action card game that rewrites strategy for mobile and browser gamers. Betrayed by your own son, you command an army of cards, each representing a unit fueled by Combat, Range, Faith, or Wisdom. The battlefield is your hand; you’ll shuffle, plan, and strike, desperately searching for that one perfect move at the precise moment your adversary lets their guard down.
Every 20-minute run is a pulse-pounding race against fate and cunning, driving intense replayability. The enemy’s strength is controlled by the mysterious Wheel of Crit, making every encounter tense and unpredictable. The card bank is randomized from the start—forge fresh tactics in each playthrough, ensuring no two battles are ever the same. Whether you’re a seasoned strategy enthusiast or a newcomer to card battlers, Krovnik’s easy-to-grasp mechanics make you feel powerful in minutes, while hidden combo depths promise satisfaction for master tacticians.
Krovnik delivers striking, minimalist art and crisp animations that keep you focused when it counts. Every unit’s ability can shift the tide of war: will you risk a daring offensive, or opt for a sneaky draw, waiting for your moment of glory? The tension is heightened by smart, quick interface design, optimized not just for desktops but also for mobile touchscreens—no downloads, no waiting, just instant action wherever you go.
Players are already buzzing about the thrill of a perfectly timed card, the heartbreak of a close defeat, and the satisfaction of toppling foes run after run. Can you reclaim your throne from the shadows of betrayal, mastering card synergy and the treacherous Wheel of Crit? Sharpen your wits and prove your skill in Krovnik’s adrenaline-charged micro-epic. Adventure, strategy, betrayal, and nail-biting action await with every shuffle—do you have what it takes to outsmart your enemies and restore your crown?
How to Play
Krovnik blends strategy and fast-paced action into a slick, unforgettable card battler experience. Upon starting, you step into the role of the ex-king, betrayed and plotting revenge. Your mission: use your hand of cards to defeat waves of enemies within a 20-minute run. Each card is a unit tied to one of four suits—Combat, Range, Faith, or Wisdom—and includes distinct abilities and power values.
To play, simply drag and drop your chosen card or tap on mobile to deploy it onto the battlefield. Each move counts: deploy offensive units to deal direct damage or play utility cards to draw more units and set up powerful combos. The Wheel of Crit keeps you on your toes, with enemies striking hard if you’re caught off guard—timing is everything.
Beginner tips: Try to maintain a balanced hand, keeping a mix of offensive and utility units. Watching the enemy's patterns and anticipating the next spin of the Wheel will help you exploit their moments of weakness. Don’t be afraid to shuffle your hand and experiment with different strategies; every session is randomized, so adapt and improvise.
Rounds are short and sweet, making Krovnik totally accessible whether you’re looking for a quick break or a longer session. Success hinges on both quick thinking and long-term planning—can you find the perfect card at the perfect moment and conquer your usurpers?
