About Thronefall

Thronefall is a minimalist strategy game where you build a humble kingdom by day and defend it by night. Balance economy and defense by fortifying walls, recruiting troops, and charging into battle yourself to protect your stronghold from relentless waves of attackers. Perfect for quick sessions or fortification marathons, step into a streamlined and endlessly replayable twist on tower defense! 10 Maps. From the mountainous Nordfels to the vibrant Wildbach, progress through a range of maps with different terrain, weather, enemies, buildings and challenges. 9 Unlockable Weapons. As a Warrior King, seize a weapon to take with you into combat, from Battleaxe to Blood Wand. Over 50 Unlockable Perks. Take up to 5 perks that bestow certain advantages, and optional Mutators to ramp up the difficulty. Protect your Kingdom with Walls, Barricades, Shrines and Towers. Expand your economy with Houses, Bridges, Gold Mines, Harbors, Mills and Fields. These buildings grant you gold every morning – if they survive. Research upgrades with the Castle Center, Blacksmith and Royal Forge. Build your military with Barracks, Archery Ranges and Hero's Quarters. Your forces include Knights, Berserks, Crossbowmen, Fire Archers, and special Heroes such as Golems and Mages. When night falls, an increasingly strong succession of foes threaten to overwhelm your Kingdom. The sun only rises when they're dead. From wooden Barrel Knights and Flying Mages to Ogres, Slimes, Wasps and Catapults, the land is teeming with danger. If your Castle Center is razed, you lose. As King, lead from the vanguard and defend your little Kingdom til you see the sun rise. We think you'll love Thronefall if you enjoy...
