A minimalist game about building and defending a little kingdom. Thronefall is a classic strategy game without unnecessary complexity, just some healthy hack-and-slay. Build up your base during the day, and defend it ‘til your last breath at night.

TheSixthAxisAran SuddiAug 20239/10Thronefall may be a minimalist strategy title, but it is big in heart and has a lot of depth to it. It is a game that is simple to play, but will challenge you at every turn. It is incredibly tough to put Thronefall down as it has that one more turn feel down to a tee. The challenge will be offputting for some, and there is a possible bug of enemies running around a wall, but other than that Thronefall is worth your time.

Try Hard GuidesErik HodgesOct 202410/10Thronefall has easily become my new favorite tower defense game, thanks to its solid mechanics and the absolute wealth of variety present in each aspect of the game. Countless difficulty mutations and enemies await you in this game, which gives new meaning to the word “replayability.”

New Game NetworkJack CurranOct 202477/100Thronefall pares back the usual tower defence formula into something simpler but still quite satisfying. Being forced to work with a predefined layout for your castle is a major limitation, and one that will frustrate some, but the perks and mutations system reintroduces just enough complexity to give Thronefall staying power. It also helps that the game looks great.
