What is Overthrown?

In this third-person sandbox city builder, you control a monarch whose magical crown can lift objects. You place and move buildings, gather resources, manage citizens and farms through the seasons, and fight mutants and bandits in the wilderness. You can play solo or in online co-op.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy building towns while handling fights yourself
  • +you like fast movement and throwing large objects
  • +you want to build a kingdom with friends online

Not for you if...

  • you need clear goals and detailed building instructions
  • you expect a long, varied progression path
  • you prefer city management without direct combat

What players say

56% of 313 reviews are positive

Players praise the art style, fast movement, and mix of town building and combat. Many say there is little to do after the early stages and that the game explains its systems poorly. Players also report crashes, citizen pathfinding problems, and trouble managing pollution.
