Fight by night
Thronefallis a pleasant, minimalist mashup of tower defence and strategy, in which you build up a base during the day then defend it from monstrous hordes at night. It launched in Early Access in August last year and has been wooing people with its cool colour palette ever since. Now it’s hit 1.0.
The 1.0 update adds three new levels, new weapons including a battle axe and blood wand, and some quality-of-life changes, including the ability to peek at future enemy waves so you can plan your defences accordingly. There’s moreoutlined over on Steam.
