About

Build and rule your kingdom in this fast-paced city builder for 1-6 players! Use a magical crown to protect your people from threats like bandits and mutants, while also managing resources and farming. Keep your citizens content, or they might just leave to join the rebels!

You are a ruler who wields a magical, ancient crown capable of absorbing souls. Use its power to build and protect a kingdom in a dangerous, untamed land, fending off threats from both mutants and bandits.

Start small and grow your territory into a powerful kingdom by building structures, collecting resources, and farming. As your reputation increases, people will join you, but you’ll also attract enemies – even those who were once your allies. You can team up with up to six friends to defend your realm together.

Key Features

  • Build Anywhere – Construct a kingdom from scratch and transform the wilderness into a developed community. Decide which buildings go where, and then manage your citizens to automate everything from there! Don’t like where you placed something? Just pick it up and toss it somewhere else!
  • Lift Anything – Throw whole trees at the sawmill to make planks or run through the forest carrying your sawmill to absorb trees along the way! Resource gathering is fun and easy thanks to your crown’s power. Or maybe you have too many enemies around. Pick up monster nests and place them near bandit camps to have them fight each other instead (and obtain free loot!).
  • Fight Like an Anime Protagonist – Villagers being eaten by mutants? Run across a lake at 100 km/h to rescue them in time! Being shot at by outlaws up in the hills? Spin-attack so fast that you take off like a helicopter and descend on them from the skies!
  • Survive the Seasons – Manage resources and stockpile enough food to last the winter. Guard your farmlands (and peasants) from hungry mutants while waiting for your crops to grow. Keep polluting workshops away or see the land turn barren. Ultimately, keep your people happy or see them desert you for the outlaws.
  • Play with Friends – Overthrown can be played offline in singleplayer, or with a group of up to six friends in online co- op! However – only one can wear the crown.
