Tower defense is steadily gaining popularity thanks to its game nature of making various strategies with various build-ups. However, there are not a few gamers who feel the burden because it is somewhat complicated, but the new work that is characterized by simplicity is attracting attention. It is ThroneFall, which was released as Early Access on Steam on the 2nd and is recording ‘very positive’ reviews.
Produced by indie game developer Grigley Games, Thronefall depicts the kingdom’s reconstruction. Build a kingdom during the day, and survive by defending the kingdom from monster raids at night. It may look like a typical tower defense where you build buildings with coins earned by defeating enemies and defend against invasions. However, it is also possible for the protagonist to ride a horse and travel around the map to directly attack enemies or command an army to develop tactics.
As of the 3rd, Thronefall is receiving a ‘very positive’ (352 participants, 97% positive) rating from Steam users. In user reviews, it is said that it is a tower defense that is easy to play lightly, with cute graphics, simple and intuitive gameplay, and a low price of 7,000 won. There are opinions that it is unfortunate that the amount of play is short as there are only 4 levels to play, but it is worth looking forward to as an update is scheduled after the official release.
