Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown is a medieval city-builder and fantasy game featuring real-time combat and decision-making mechanics.

As a new ruler, you and the surviving villagers of Aldamora journey to the mysterious land of Nysamora in search of a new home. Together, you will work to establish a great kingdom and forge your own legacy. Assign tasks to your subjects: gather resources, build structures, explore the wilderness, and secure your kingdom’s reputation through trade or the sword.

As your settlement and influence grow, you will have to make tough decisions that can permanently change the lives of your people, your settlement, and the world around you.

Embark on your adventure alone or with four other players. Lay siege to castles, raid trade routes, or confront the fantastical creatures of Waelgrim in intense combat situations, either together or against other players or the AI. But be warned, as soldiers need food and water to fight, and the costs of war can heavily burden your kingdom.

Thrive: Heavy Lies The Crown is expected to be available sometime this year for PC via Steam.
