What is Thronefall?
Thronefall is a single-player, isometric tower-defense and action-strategy game set in a colorful medieval kingdom. By day, you spend gold on defenses, troops, upgrades, and income-producing buildings; by night, you command units and fight as the king against enemy waves across ten maps.

Not for you if...

What players say
96% of 23,909 reviews are positive · 88% of 154 in the last 30 days
Players praise the day-night loop, the mix of economic planning and direct combat, and the range of maps, weapons, perks, and difficulty options. Common complaints are that preset construction sites limit base design, while later levels can feel repetitive, grindy, or unevenly balanced; some players also find unit selection clumsy.
