Overthrown is a unique sandbox game “relative to most of the genre,” with an ever-changing world that separates itself from genre giants like Minecraft

Overthrown has officially launched as a city-builder sandbox hybrid, allowing players to manipulate their environment by tossing objects. Developer Brimstone has removed traditional mechanics like fall damage and inventory management to enhance gameplay. NPC citizens automate resource gathering, enabling players to focus on exploration and combat. The game features flexible gameplay, allowing players to switch between gathering and combat. Overthrown includes a dynamic procedural world that evolves with changing seasons, introducing new plants, creatures, and outlaw camps. Environmental changes, such as pollution, will affect the game world, adding realism. The game is currently in early access on Steam, with plans for future releases on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
