Thrive: Heavy Lies The Crown is a complex medieval survival/city-builder game elevated with a real-time strategy twist for up to four players.

The fate of the kingdom weighs heavily based on the choices you make. As ruler, you lead your people through benevolence or tyranny, setting a course for the type of leader you eventually become and the challenges that come with it. Explore and expand your kingdom through an unknown land, establishing a powerful military to fortify your domination and engaging in real-time combat with foes who seek to usurp your rule.

As you descend into Benevolence or Tyranny, you will explore, expand, and influence an unknown land.

Play solo or up to four friends; your kingdom's fate is shaped by your will.

 

The kingdom of Nysamor awaits its new ruler!
