Game Overview: A Blend of Creativity and Chaos

"Overthrown" allows players to lift and throw practically anything as they build and manage a burgeoning kingdom. From a single ruler, players can grow their domains into sprawling metropolises, all while defending against bandits and mutants using the powers bestowed by a soul-stealing crown.

Key Features:

  • Build Anywhere: Players can start from scratch, choosing where buildings go and managing citizens to automate tasks.
  • Lift Anything: Utilize the crown's power to gather resources in innovative ways, such as throwing whole trees at the sawmill.
  • Fight Like an Anime Protagonist: Perform heroic feats such as sprinting across lakes or spiraling into the air to combat foes.
  • Survive the Seasons: Manage resources carefully through changing seasons, protecting farmlands and stockpiling food.
  • Play with Friends: Supports up to six players in online co-op, but only one can wear the crown, adding a competitive edge.

Whether you're a solo strategist or a cooperative competitor, "Overthrown" offers a robust and engaging experience that goes beyond traditional city builders.
