Overthrown has officially confirmed Version 1.0, called the Airship Update. This major patch follows the Livestock, Nature, and Coastal updates that launched earlier this year. Along with the new content, the game has also received a full release date. The worldwide launch will mark the end of the city builder’s Early Access period, which began back in December 2024.
Storyline and Gameplay: Build, Manage, and Defend
As per Steam, Overthrown lets players take on the role of a monarch who wears a magical soul-stealing crown. In particular, this special item gives various special abilities. Also, players must build and manage a kingdom in a wilderness that is full of bandits and mutants. At the same time, they need to get resources, farm the land, construct buildings, and keep the people safe from dangers.
In this open-world city builder, players can build anywhere and freely move objects. They also have the option to throw trees at sawmills to make planks. In the same way, players can toss monster nests near bandit camps to have enemies fight each other.
From high-speed rescues to spin attacks, Overthrown features battle mechanics. It also adds action elements to the popular city-building formula.
Players can go solo when offline. In the online multiplayer mode, the game supports up to six players. However, only one can wear the crown, adding a unique play with cooperation and competition.
New Content in the Airship Update
According to GameRant, Version 1.0 will introduce many new features to make the gameplay better:
- Build and control airships for exploration. Likewise, use them to fight against enemy camps.
- Target airships and infantry with the new cannon tower defense structure.
- Defend the kingdom against new outlaws — Firestarters, Scrappers, and Ringleaders. Each outlaw type has unique behaviors and duties.
- Reach new levels with more ecosystem-based maps, including the Highland Plateau.
- Manage new threats called Devourers, which are evolved Snappers.
