[h3]🏆 The Tournament of Twisted Tactics Has Come to a Glorious End! 🏆[/h3]

Brave Commanders, brilliant Strategists, and Thronefall enthusiasts, the time has come to celebrate the champions of our “Tournament of Twisted Tactics”! We are excited to present the five winning strategies that stood out with their ingenuity and style!

Without further ado, let’s honor our victors:

🥇 1st Place – Playing With Mouse & Feet Only " Insanity" by FlediX2

" You have to beat Nordfels, Durststein and Frostsee under the following restrictions:

Mouse Only (You may only control the player with the mouse; the escape key is excluded from this)
Feet Only (You may only use your feet to control the mouse; the escape key is excluded from this)
Castle Only (You may only have the castle constructed after the last night)
Deathless (You may never die)
1 Restart (You may restart once! This restart cannot be used after a death or after your castle centre is destroyed. It may however be used to undo a building, wrong upgrade or mistake which did not result in death or loss. I would've loved to make this no restarts, but accidentally built a harbour in the middle of Frostsee and had to restart)
One session (You have to complete all three maps back to back. No major breaks are allowed)

Mutators:

No Units Pact (You won't buy any barracks)
No Towers Pact (You won't buy any towers)
No Walls Pact (You won't buy any walls)
God of Death (You won't die)
Wasp God (eh, why not)"

🥈 2nd Place – Nordfels Blinfolded "The Blind King" by LeonReg

"Playing Nordfels blindfolded. You get lost very easily since you don't hear that you're colliding with walls or buildings yet it's still fun!"

🥉 3rd Place – No Units, No Towers, No King Damage on Durststein "The Peasants Are Revolting!" by Tim von Ahsen

"My peasants decided that the real monster was my militarist regime. So, they disarmed the king, drove off the soldiers and burned the towers. Will the revolutionaries manage to protect their homes, farms, and mines? (No units or towers. The king must never attack. Durstein.)"

🏅 4th Place – Never leaving the top of the hill on Sturmklamm "King of the Hill" by Quontavious

"Don't leave the top of the hill on Sturmklamm for any reason. I put on the no units and no towers pact."

Gorgeous strategy game Thronefall is about to get pricier ahead of 1.0

One look at Thronefall is enough to warrant attention. It features a lovely, minimalist art style and a simplified version of the sort of tower defense strategy design popularized by games like Plants vs. Zombies, Kingdom Rush Vengeance, and Defense Grid: The Awakening. All of this comes together to make it one of the most compelling strategy games of the last year. Now, fortunately, Thronefall is also about to leave Early Access for a full version launch, but, along with that, its creator GrizzlyGames has also announced that it plans to increase its price a bit ahead of 1.0.

Read the rest of the story...

PRICING CHANGES

Dear Queens and Kings,

Thronefall will leave Early Access soon and with that we plan to roll out a *big* content update. So big in fact that it will bring three brand new maps to the game — as many as we added during the entire Early Access period combined. To reflect that we’d like to increase Thronefall’s price from 9.99$ to 12.99$ (or the equivalent in your country’s currency).

Since games cannot go on discount immediately after a price increase and we do want to release Thronefall’s full version with a celebratory launch discount we unfortunately have to apply the pricing changes some time before the actual release.

It is very important to us to be transparent about our pricing and we want to give you a heads up early enough to make sure everyone gets a fair deal: We’re going to publish the new price of 12.99$ on September 3rd. Until then you'll be able to pick up Thronefall at the old price.

We can’t wait to finally share more about the upcoming content with you soon. As always, thank you all so much for the continuous stream of feedback and support — it means a lot to us!

All the best,
Jonas & Paul

Hotfix 1.753

Dear All,
this is a small patch to fix two bugs that were brought to our attention:

• Tooltips were not showing when the tutorial was played in the same session. This is now fixed and they should show correctly at all times.

• In the Japanese localisation balancing parameters were not displayed correctly in tooltips and showed the source file name instead. This should be fixed now as well.

Thanks a lot for pointing those out so quickly!

All the best
Jonas & Paul
