Today is the day! Thronefall, a minimalist strategy game about defending your little kingdom without unnecessary complexity and with a healthy dose of hack-and-slay, is releasing into Early Access on Steam at 4 PM BST / 8 AM PST. Build up your base during the day, and defend it ‘til your last breath at night.
Thronefall has been a hotly anticipated title – it’s amassed over 200,000 wishlists since its reveal – so we’re really excited to let you know that GrizzlyGames’ (Islanders, Superflight) latest game is out! Oh, and did we mention (maybe more than once?) that it works like a dream on Steam Deck… just checking.

About the Game
A strategy game without all the headaches? We’ve got you covered.
Saddle the horses! See your kingdom come to life, fight gripping battles to defend it and still be done in time for lunch.
Thronefall is a classic strategy game without unnecessary complexity, plus some healthy hack-and-slay. Build up your base during the day, and defend it ‘til your last breath at night.
Will you be able to strike the right balance between economy and defence? Do you need more archers, thicker walls or an additional mill? Will you keep the enemies at bay with your longbow or charge your horse right into them? It's going to be a tough night, but nothing beats seeing the sun rise above your little kingdom to live another day.
Quote from the dev
“We’re so grateful for the attention Thronefall has gotten since we first showed it off to the world,” says Jonas Tyroller. “We hope there’s something in it for everyone to enjoy, from the kid who’s playing their very first strategy game to the veteran who simply doesn’t have time to sink hundreds of hours into learning how to play a game.”
“Our favourite way of playing our game is on the Steam Deck,” says Paul Schnepf. “We hope you enjoy playing Thronefall whether it’s on the Steam Deck or a PC that runs like it’s built for royalty.”
