It's not a bad game. It's unfinished. The animations are wonderful, the concept is realy fun, designs are both adorable and pretty. But base-building is a bit lacking at times. The core gameplay loop seems a bit bare. It just released as 1.0, in a very rushed attempt to exit early access and call this game "finished" that left very bitter taste in my mouth. It's not finished. It lacks polish and content. Not every …

The game has a strong foundation, with mechanics that are genuinely fun to experiment with—like sprinting around at high speed or tossing massive boulders at trees. However, it ultimately suffers from a lack of content. Once the initial novelty fades, there isn’t much left to keep players engaged. Despite being labeled as a 1.0 release, it feels more like an early access title that was pushed out prematurely, …

I don't understand people who get an early access game and then complain when they see that the game isn't finished. The point of selling an early access build of a game is to allow the developers to have a little extra income while developing the game. Anyways this might be the most polished early access I've ever played. The movement feels about as good as Mario Odyssey and The Big Catch. There isnt a lot of …

Early Access so Buggy as F, more than most Early access games. Like Enemy becoming immortal after stealing your crown and stuff like that. Villagers pathing/work routine getting disrupted. Multiplayer failing to connect after crashing and a bunch of other annoying bugs. HOWEVER! the concept, artwork and overall mechanics are fun and the potential for this game is huge. but it is half baked at best currently so if …

Why is the movement in a town-building game so much better than in any open-world game that has come out in the last 10 years? Amazing!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: 1 year later as promised: I'm left vindicated and somehow, I'm even more disappointed in this game. Everything is worse. The devs continue to dig themselves a hole filled with optimization issues they will never be able to climb out of and there's no hope left for this game. 1.0 was delayed twice - like it would even count as a 1.0 release anyway, given the utter state the game is in currently and how little has actually improved (if anything at all, really). Stay away from this game.…

My special needs son and i fell on hard times emotionally and financially while this game was being developed. We discovered it on TikTok, when the sounds grabbed my son's attention. He proceded to bingewatch the entire video selection there, and became obsessed with wanting to play the game. I reached out to the devs, and told them the full story, to which they voiced that he would…

Let the fact this went on sale for 40% off just 2 days after coming out of early access tell you everything you need to know. First off, let me state that most of my time on this was through xbox gamepass while it was in early access, so I have a few hundred more hours than steam has on record. The game is absolutely phenomenal. Aesthetically pleasing, smooth combat, not too complex, The dev team…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was hoping this would be a lot closer to being a 1.0 release than it currently is. I know the team pushed back the deadline and I do appreciate them doing their best to make a quality game. I can see the potential for the game, but I can't really recommend it as is. Hopefully the future updates improve the game and I can update my review. Positives: + Character designs, movement, abilities all feel really good. + Game's art style is polished and distinct. Not a whole lot of games that…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got to be quite honest and it comes from a good place cause the ideas are great and all, but even for early access this is way under cooked, there is nothing more than there was in the beta and the game has come with many bugs which they are hot fixing quickly which I appreciate. That said I am enjoying my time just making my town and stuff, but I really think they should have waited to release it with their first planned major update which would of really helped it. If you buy this game now…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game looks fun and interesting but there is nothing to do. Me and my son were looking forward to this to play it together. We did everything in the world within an hour and just waited in the world for research to finish to hope that something happens in this game. This game has a content issue that is above and it also has a design issue. Research feels meaningless. You just select a few and wait and it completes and goes to the next one. You can't see what's unlocked or how the thing…

neutral · AI labelView post →Movement feels awesome but there's nothing else at this state. No tutorial, no ressource indicators for the build menu. Just go hit a tree, then spawn a building for whatever reason. Way too early to say that you get any meaningful gameplay out of it. But i'll keep it on the wishlist.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**THIS IS AN EARLY ACCESS REVIEW** (TLDR at the bottom) If you're looking at this game teetering on the edge whether to buy it, Here is a "Steam refund speedrun" review. I played this for 1.9 hours and I have to say, I will be re-purchasing this game in the future, Currently I am just taking advantage of Steams Spring sale and perusing some titles to see what clicks! Pros: - VERY Fun and fluid movement mechanics, I found my self fighting bores and bandits while chaining wall jumps and sword…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm torned whether I should recommend this game or not. But ultimately I'm leaning towards - Wait for patches. Currently the game has very little content ( which took me ONE HOUR AND A HALF to complete ). Although I'll admit I didn't bother beautifying my kingdom or fixing problems with citizens unhappiness. To my defence... the game doesn't tell you ANYTHING except : Here's a list of things to do. There is no tutorial on how to manage the Tax / Happiness of the citizens, the game didn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i had the most faith in this game out of anyone, i played for hours and put several worlds into my play time. heavily disappointed with how the game is being handled. they completely abandoned it when it had so much potential. very unhappy with the state of the game. i left for two months and came back without a single bug fix. definitely lost a fan tbh.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely not. The game used to be fun and chill... about 5 redesigns ago. So many hidden things and 0 explanation on pretty much anything. Completing a research actually takes information away from you. The endless ''why isnt this working'' is absurd. As a returning player, stuff has changed so much that without any guidance, im stuck in old knowledge that the game isnt trying to correct in any way. Waste of potential.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has bones of something that could be great and yet it's wasted on something that's only a shell of a game. Asking $25 for a game that has virtually no content?! The AI is broken, combat is poor, the systems in the game don't make sense and they want you to do things without explaining anything. The graphics are pretty and that's the only upside to the game! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. This game shouldn't be mixed or very negative it should be Overwhelmingly Negative because it's not fun at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know this is early access, but the game is still released/purchasable so i'm giving a review based on that. Positives: Nice music Co-op is super cool to see. Fun movement and general sandbox type game. Negatives: Crazy empty world. Besides bandit camps and like mobs, basically nothing in the world. Citizen AI. (at one point i had like 4 citizens just freakin out in the water that was semi-near my base. Lack of combat "options", Multiple times starting off, i would get juggled…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've put in about 40 hours so figured I'd give my feedback on the game. Overall, a game with excellent potential, a decent start but room for immediate improvement. In it's current state I would recommend it with some contingencies. It kind of reminds me of early minecraft; no tutorials and you sort of need to figure things out on your own or look up guides. If you go in 100% blind, you're going to struggle. For example your workers need to be fed, the game tells you this. However it doesn't…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't. Here's why. Want to build a city? Can't. One ore mine pumps out 4k pollution and most zones can at most handle 6. Any other 'stinky' building? Expect similar. What happens if you over pollute the area? Everything dies and stops growing. Oh and, even better, if you happen to over pollute a zone in the distance, it still bleeds into other zones, slowly expanding the 'git gud' sphere where eventually your whole map is now uninhabitable. Why? They haven't fixed some of the majorly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not finished. My husband bought it for me as a gift so we could play together. The stability is awful, especially considering that it is not a demanding game on my system. In about 1.5 hours of playing the game crashed at least 4 times. Outside of that, the game feels incomplete, it's a bit bare, which wasn't a problem for me until it crashed every 15-20 minutes. After the third crash my husband said, "Well, you know, early access games." and I had to tell him it wasn't early…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun. But it is really rough around the edges. Movement is solid and combat is fine. But it feels too bland right now. There is nothing that sets this game apart from a game like Banished atleast right now. There is no story, there is no push. The research turns the game into a crawl. As there are times where I am just standing there, waiting for time to pass or because there is nothing I as the player have to interact with anything. I want to recommend it, I really do. The artstyle…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overthrown on the Vic20 is probably peak video game.
positive · AI labelView post →I want to say that you should buy this game. But, I can't for one glaring reason: The developer's have abandoned the game. This game will never grow past its current state; I wish I had known this before I bought a second copy for my partner. As it stands the gameplay loop and building aspects "are" fun, but only through the lens that a future update might make them better. As a final product, they're sub par. My partner and I reached 100% completion in around 7 hours, playing casually. It's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a gem! Slightly undercooked but give it time and I believe this game has the potential to become a game of the year. The movement is great and I really enjoy the artstyle. The city builder and combat aspect needs more cooking but the developers DO listen to feedback like no other dev team i met before and it's been fun to interact with this game's community. There is just so much love in every fibre of this game This is an early access title and if you go into it with that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept is novel, the fundamental game is solid, but the content is barebones and the stability is utterly lacking. The game is buggy and unoptimized. It is a shame the devs have seemingly rushed this through to 1.0 and are apparently dropping support for it because what's here really could have been something special but as it stands it is blatantly unfinished and does not deserve your money. Save your cash, buy something that actually works.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a very cute game but there is not a lot to do. After about 2 hours I realised this was it. The villagers don't really need anything and there is nothing to balance or manage. I don't think it's the fact that it's even a cosy game it's just quite limited and lacking any sort of objective
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like some of the negative reviews are unfair. It's EARLY ACCESS - the game warns you that it is when you start playing it. This is the ground floor for a great game and it's only going to get better from here. If you want a polished game, with a ton of options, then just wait. If you want to experience this game, decorate your city, and be a part of getting to see a ton of new stuff added over the months and year(s) to come, then drop the 20 bucks. The game is a good overall…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This games really really good, if you're self motivated. It's a city builder game like the sims, with your main objective to make the biggest kingdom that you can. But instead of being an all mighty mouse pointer in the sky, you're a very mighty king that runs around your city and places the buildings where you want on the ground, and help manage resources by yourself if your lil workers are coming up short. That's the major draw of the game. As a city builder, it clears the bar. You…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Should be a good game in another year or two. Right now it's more like a slightly big demo.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's as deep as a puddle. Pretty much everything that is available can be experienced within an hour or two and then you just have to make your own fun. Which yeah can be fun but for the price tag it's not worth it, there's a lot of content being teased ingame with 'coming soon' or 'coming 2025' plastered everywhere the game has a lot of potential but for the current price it's not worth it imo.

neutral · AI labelView post →For the record, I played about ten hours over on game pass in a pre-1.0 state. This game is super half-baked. 1.0 dropped and didn't actually feel that different. Movement is clunky, combat is imprecise, the feedback you get from managing your town is vague at best, maps are featureless and boring, progression is slow, and overall it's just not very fun. There's definitely an idea here: an action RPG focused on town building. That's a cool idea. The execution here is not great, and while I will…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Combat is honestly trash. Fertilizer is a huge bottleneck and has been since "early access", in heavy quotes because this is still very much unfinished. Judging by some of the other negative reviews, it may never be finished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I initially had quite high hopes for this game, the devs have moved to other projects and have stated they are not likely to support this game past 1.0 As is, there's a good foundation for a game but only about a quarter of the content you would want at a minimum. Cannot recommend, which is a shame. We need more multiplayer civ builder games.

neutral · AI labelView post →I wanted to love this game. It scratched a lot of itches; power fantasy, co-op city builder, combat... But missed every one of the marks. I bought it day one and my first play session was 45 minutes. I just replayed it and... I was bored. No direction, no over-arching goal. Yeah I can run around with a sawmill and throw my friends but that loses its lustre fast. I think I'm going to give up on this game.

neutral · AI labelView post →Even though I've only played 10 or so hours on this game, I think I'm going to play for 100 more. Seriously. For the last couple of weeks or maybe even months I've been looking for a game to just be able to sit down and call my own, not to worry about the overall story, or that I'm doing something wrong while playing, and I'll be honest. At the start of my search I did see this game, reviews were good, but I looked for other non paid options. After all that time last night i decided to buy the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →technically, there is a lot of content. It's just really easy to build up compared to other games with building mechanics, so it's easy to speed through unless you decorate your town. The only actual negatives are like, during a raid, actually finding where the battle is happening when your town is spread out. they don't show on the compass unless i'm close enough
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i cannot suggest this game in its current state. its lackluster and empty feeling. with no real progression available. even with the content that's been shown but not added yet, the skills still seem arbitrary and useless other than a couple buildings. theres no real point to this currently
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun! Awesome movement mechanics which is sorely needed in these kind of games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →New video by me: Overthrown is an ambitious game. It combines city building and management, light third-person action, and movement mechanics that make running across your kingdom feel like one of the best parts of the game. It's on my wishlist now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1uV...
positive · AI labelView post →Don't buy, the developers ended up abandoning it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overthrown is one of the few games this year that feels unique, but holds well to what is expected of the genre. The movement in this game is awesome. It is really dynamic, and ...Sonic-esque for lack of a better term. That said, it simply needs more to feel complete, and like many other reviews here, it is fair to say that they should have waited to release the game until it was sufficiently 'fleshed-out'. For instance, it is easy to get through the currently available content in two hours,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Early release... was too early. The game has a lot of promise, the movement is super fun but there is not enough content yet to really justify it. I hope to revisit and have the game change my mind.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game seems like it will be good, but for the amount its at now, I'd say pass. The game is very bare bones, and has little to do. This was clear even from the amount of time I played.

Pros: Good Art Style Cons: Confusing Economy System with no in game tool tips for getting things to work or function. I want to play the game not scour forms or sites for how things work. Horrible NPC logic. As of March 26th 2026, they patched this. It did not work. I still have looping villagers trying to jump obstacles to tall for them. No real point in continuing to play as it lacks content. Research is pointless.…
