Overthrown is an upcoming early access game developed by Brimstone and published by Maximum Entertainment, scheduled for release on December 5, 2024. This indie simulation blends elements of building, exploration, and strategy. Players assume the role of a monarch wielding an ancient, magical soul-stealing crown, tasked with establishing and defending a kingdom amidst a perilous wilderness filled with mutants and bandits.
The gameplay features the ability to build and manage your kingdom creatively; players can design the layout, gather resources effortlessly, and automate citizen tasks. Unique mechanics allow players to manipulate the environment, such as tossing trees to create items or strategically placing monster nests to distract enemies. Combat feels dynamic and exhilarating, allowing for high-speed rescues and impressive aerial assaults.
Managing resources across seasons is crucial, as players need to ensure their citizens are fed while protecting their farmlands from threats. With support for up to six players in cooperative mode, Overthrown encourages shared kingdom-building experiences. Players interested in trying the game should be aware of its early development state, which may lead to unexpected issues. For optimal installation, specific system requirements and anti-virus settings are recommended.
