Description

You play as a Monarch in possession of an ancient soul-stealing crown with magical abilities. With its power, establish a kingdom in a perilous wilderness and defend it from mutants and bandits roaming the land.

Build, gather resources, farm the land and more to turn your fledgling realm into a commanding, self-sustaining kingdom. As your fame grows, more will flock to your banner – but so will those who have come to overthrow you.

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 YOUR FRIENDS

Overthrown can be played offline in single player, or with a group of up to six friends in online co-op!

This review isn't because the game is bad. But Maximum failed it, and they need to know that. Let the fact this went on sale for 40% off just 2 days after coming out of early access tell you everything you need to know.

I was hoping this would be a lot closer to being a 1.0 release than it currently is. I know the team pushed back the deadline and I do appreciate them doing their best to make a quality game. I can see the potential for

This game has bones of something that could be great and yet it's wasted on something that's only a shell of a game. Asking $25 for a game that has virtually no content?! The AI is broken, combat is poor, the systems in

The concept is novel, the fundamental game is solid, but the content is barebones and the stability is utterly lacking. The game is buggy and unoptimized. It is a shame the devs have seemingly rushed this through to 1.0

The game looks fun and interesting but there is nothing to do. Me and my son were looking forward to this to play it together. We did everything in the world within an hour and just waited in the world for research to
