Critic Reviews for Thronefall
Thronefall may be a minimalist strategy title, but it is big in heart and has a lot of depth to it. It is a game that is simple to play, but will challenge you at every turn. It is incredibly tough to put Thronefall down as it has that one more turn feel down to a tee. The challenge will be offputting for some, and there is a possible bug of enemies running around a wall, but other than that Thronefall is worth your time.
Thronefall pares back the usual tower defence formula into something simpler but still quite satisfying. Being forced to work with a predefined layout for your castle is a major limitation, and one that will frustrate some, but the perks and mutations system reintroduces just enough complexity to give Thronefall staying power. It also helps that the game looks great.
Thronefall is designed for agile games, almost always on the couch or between subway stops. The performance on Switch, fortunately, accompanies a proposal born to shine on this system thanks to the simplicity of its mechanics, its infinite replayability and a depth that promises hours and hours of content for a ridiculous price.
