My favorite bug report for Below the Crown so far... "No action needed, just wanted to say that I LOVE this game. This game rules. It's definitely the best chess roguelike yet..."

Little moments like these add up <3

I looooove this game. You control a small team of lil drones through safe and unsafe chambers of derelict ships. Every choice counts.
