Crown Wars: The Black Prince is set in 14th century-France during the Hundred Years’ War. Players assume the role of an individual that belongs to one of four French noble houses. In charge of their own domain, the protagonist must take part in violent conflicts that will determine the fate of the kingdom. Among the threats looming over the kingdom is an evil organization known as the Order.

The game offers a campaign where players can send their troops in various locations of France to fight the opposing factions. The turn-based battles take place on maps where the units’ placement grants various bonuses or penalties. The units under the control of the player can be from six different classes each with their own skills and preferred weapons. Another aspect of the gameplay involves upgrading the domain which the protagonist is in charge of. The upgrades made can lead to the development of better facilities, consumables or weapons which will in turn help in battles.
