The real-time strategy genre has seen just about every possible variation imaginable. It's no surprise, then, that it's also ripe for a back-to-basics approach—a return to its core principles. That's precisely what developer Grizzly Games has achieved with Thronefall, stripping the genre down to its essential elements.
Well, perhaps not only the essentials. Thronefall is a stylish RTS that divides gameplay into two distinct phases: daytime, where you construct and prepare your defenses, and nighttime, where you must survive until dawn against waves of monsters. You’ll need to carefully balance the functional needs of your city with the defensive measures required to repel the approaching hordes.
In many respects, Thronefall resembles survival strategy titles like They Are Billions. However, the scale is somewhat smaller, and there is a stronger focus on classic medieval defense—featuring walls, archers, knights, and more.
No More ThronesStylistically, it’s no exaggeration to say that Thronefall is visually appealing. With its cel-shaded graphics and vibrant colors, there's plenty to enjoy even on a small screen. Originally released on PC in 2024, Thronefall arrives on mobile with a wealth of updates and improvements ready from day one.
Thronefall doesn’t limit you to purely static defenses, such as building towers. You're free to hang back and snipe at enemies or launch your own charge—like the Ride of the Rohirrim—directly into the fray. So if you’ve ever believed you could defend a fortress better than King Théoden, now is your chance to prove it.
