A strategy game without all the headaches? We’ve got you covered.

Saddle the horses! See your kingdom come to life, fight gripping battles to defend it and still be done in time for lunch.

Thronefall is a classic strategy game without unnecessary complexity, plus some healthy hack-and-slay. Build up your base during the day, and defend it ‘til your last breath at night.

Will you be able to strike the right balance between economy and defence? Do you need more archers, thicker walls or an additional mill? Will you keep the enemies at bay with your longbow or charge your horse right into them? It’s going to be a tough night, but nothing beats seeing the sun rise above your little kingdom to live another day.

Some of the most significant changes since the start of Early Access on Steam:

• 3 new levels
• Lots of new perks, mustators, enemies and weapons
• New hero units
• A Rogue-Like endless mode
• Mini-modes that go wild with gameplay (e.g. Throneball where you defend as massive snowball rolling over enemies)
• Various quality of life improvements (such as better unit control hotkeys etc.)

Final Release Additions:

• 3 More Levels (making a full campaign of 10 levels now)!
• More perks, mutators, enemies and weapons (so even more strategies to experiment with)
• Various quality of life improvements (such as being able to see future wave info in the pause menu etc.)

Developer Jonas Tyroller said today: “We’re so grateful for the attention Thronefall has gotten since we launched into Steam Access. The reception has been far beyond anything we had imagined. With the most recent editions and the Nintendo Switch launch, we hope there’s something in it for everyone to enjoy and brings the game to more people; from the kid who’s playing their very first strategy game to the veteran who simply doesn’t have time to sink hundreds of hours into learning how to play something new.”
