If you’ve ever sat back while playing a high-fantasy RPG and thought, “I could easily manage a round table of drama-prone knights better than King Arthur,” today is your time to prove it.
Rennes-based indie studio WILD WITS and publisher Curve Games have officially released their brilliant medieval fantasy round-table RPG, Sovereign Tower, on PC.
The crown is waiting, Sire—and it comes with an awful lot of heavy baggage.
What is Sovereign Tower?
In Sovereign Tower, you ascend the throne as the newly appointed Sovereign—a former fugitive chosen by a magical, semi-sentient tower to rule over a fragile realm. Part narrative visual novel and part deep court-management simulation, the game puts you directly in charge of running a kingdom rife with dilemmas, political tension, and unpredictable heroes.
Your day-to-day duties start with taking morning audiences. You’ll listen to the petty grievances and bizarre petitions of your subjects—ranging from resolving trade disputes with neighbouring kingdoms to dealing with a cursed, nuisance goose in the local bathhouse. Every decision you make sways your standing with five powerful factions: Merchants, Mystics, Scholars, Nobles, and the People (not to mention the health of your kingdom’s treasury).
Managing Big Egos and High Stakes
The real heart of Sovereign Tower lies at your Round Table. To execute your royal decrees, dispatch aid, and defend the realm, you’ll need to recruit a cadre of eccentric—and often questionably moral—knights.
Each knight comes with their own stats (Strength, Agility, Charisma, Magic, and Wit), distinct personalities, and massive egos. Sending the wrong knight on a delicate mission can lead to catastrophic failure, severe diplomatic offences, or worse—sending a beloved member of your court to an untimely death.
Between quests, you’ll need to manage court drama, cater to your knights’ quirks, upgrade your tower with new annexes (like a Blacksmith’s Forge or Alchemy Room), and maybe even pursue a little forbidden medieval romance on the side!
Made a Royal Mess? Just Rewind Time!
Ruling is tough, and you will make mistakes. Fortunately, Sovereign Tower has a unique ace up its sleeve: a deal-making Demon lurking in the crypts.
If a bad lapse in judgment gets your favourite knight killed, tanks your economy, or plunges the realm into chaos, you can strike a bargain with the Demon to rewind time. Using the knowledge you’ve retained from your failed timelines, you can revisit crucial junctures, alter your choices, unlock hidden dialogue, and rewrite your kingdom’s fate again and again.
Combined with lush, hand-drawn art reminiscent of illuminated manuscripts and razor-sharp, tongue-in-cheek writing, Sovereign Tower offers a delightfully fresh spin on medieval RPGs.
Where to Play
Sovereign Tower is out now for PC on Steam. Step up to the throne, draft your knights, and see if you have what it takes to guide your kingdom to glory—or total devastation!
