Today, rising Canadian studio Zugalu Entertainment is proud to announce their upcoming Medieval survival city-builder title, Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown coming to early access on PC. You are the leader of a growing new settlement; establish and oversee its growth into a mighty kingdom while making critical choices that influence the type of leader you become. See the new trailer below.
| “We’re excited to bring a 1-4 player multi-city building game to life. Rarely in this genre do you get to build your kingdom alongside your friends and have the choice to play cooperative or competitive,” says Branden Sloane, Co-Founder, and CEO of Zugalu Entertainment. “Playable solo or with up to 3 friends, you set up trade routes and compete with your friends to build the most successful kingdom – if your “friends” are more successful than you, then attacking them is always an option. We named the game Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown as whether you choose to play as a kind or cruel ruler, all your choices matter. The multiple daily decisions you make will directly affect the society you create, where supply chain needs and alliance or military options all matter. Choose wisely and help your kingdom thrive.” |

| Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown is a complex city-building 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. Play solo or up to four friends; your kingdom’s fate is shaped by your will. |
