Thronefall

Thronefall is a minimalist strategy game in which you build a kingdom by day and defend it from attackers by night. You balance your economy and defenses by constructing buildings, recruiting troops and leading the fight yourself as the Warrior King. If your Castle Center is destroyed, you lose; the sun rises only after the night's attackers are dead.

Build your kingdom

Protect your stronghold with Walls, Barricades, Shrines and Towers. Houses, Bridges, Gold Mines, Harbors, Mills and Fields bring in gold each morning if they survive the night. Research upgrades at the Castle Center, Blacksmith and Royal Forge, and recruit forces from Barracks, Archery Ranges and Hero's Quarters.

Your forces include Knights, Berserks, Crossbowmen and Fire Archers, as well as special Heroes such as Golems and Mages. You can also charge into battle yourself to defend the kingdom.

Defend through the night

Each night brings an increasingly strong succession of enemies, including wooden Barrel Knights, Flying Mages, Ogres, Slimes, Wasps and Catapults. The attackers threaten to overwhelm your kingdom, and the sun does not rise until they are defeated.

Maps and upgrades

The game has 10 maps, from mountainous Nordfels to vibrant Wildbach. Their terrain, weather, enemies, buildings and challenges vary. You can unlock 9 weapons to take into combat as the Warrior King, from the Battleaxe to the Blood Wand, and over 50 perks that grant advantages. Choose up to 5 perks and add optional Mutators to increase the difficulty.
