Thronefall: A Minimalist Tower Defense Game
Thronefall, developed by GrizzlyGames, is a premium action game that offers a minimalist tower defense experience. Players construct their kingdom, earn resources, and protect it from enemies using tactical and strategic thinking. In the initial stages of the game, players start with a modest coin supply to kickstart their kingdom construction. Resource management becomes crucial as players have complete control over how they utilize resources to build structures and defense systems.
In Thronefall, players oversee three key elements: upgrades, soldiers, and gold coins. Each day, players explore nodes on the map and allocate gold for construction. Building new mills and houses boosts gold income, while barracks, walls, and watchtowers enhance defensive capabilities. At night, players face swarms of enemies, each with distinct unit types, surging from various directions. Players can control and maneuver their armies in smaller groups and their commander actively engages in combat.
Thronefall offers a challenging city-building experience with unlockable perks and weapons. Players can unlock 37 perks and weapons such as spear, bow, and sword while enjoying the challenge of four distinct playable levels. However, the game has a limited number of levels, which may lead some players to experience boredom over time.
To make in-game questing more exciting, Thronefall has introduced the Quest Fair event. Players can design their own quests for the four levels of the game. Submissions can be made through the #questfair channel on the Discord server. The developers have prepared handsome rewards for the winners, including in-game implementation of the designed quest, Steam Keys, a Champion Discord role, and a permanent spot in Discord and Steam's Hall of Fame.
Overall, Thronefall offers an engaging and challenging tower defense experience for city builders seeking a balanced approach.
