Get ready city builders – tomorrow’s going to be a big day. Overthrown is finally launching into version 1.0, and it’s bringing a friend along for the ride.
The chaotic kingdom management game is teaming up with Go-Go Town for a special Steam bundle that gives players both city builders at a 10% discount. It’s one of those smart indie partnerships that makes everyone happy – more games for less money.
“We’re thrilled to share Overthrown and Go-Go town have teamed up to make a special city-builder bundle! Two great games, one amazing bundle. The bundle gives you the ability to purchase both games (or just one if you own the other) for a 10% discount.” — @AlexMaximumEnt
The timing couldn’t be better. Overthrown hits its full release tomorrow – March 20th at 9 a.m. PT – after what’s been a pretty solid Early Access run. The bundle deal means you can grab both games right as Overthrown goes gold, or pick up whichever one you’re missing if you already own the other.
Overthrown isn’t your typical city builder. Sure, you’re building and managing a kingdom, but you’re doing it with a soul-stealing crown that lets you literally lift and throw anything around. Need to move a building? Pick it up and toss it. Bandits causing trouble? Same solution, probably.
The game supports 1-6 players, which is where things get really chaotic. Imagine trying to coordinate a kingdom build with five other people who can all pick up and throw buildings around. It’s the kind of beautiful disaster that makes for great streaming content.
Go-Go Town takes a different approach to the city building formula. You’re playing as a mayor dealing with all the everyday chaos of running a town – infrastructure, worker management, and those random problems that pop up when you’re trying to build your dream city. It’s more grounded than Overthrown’s fantasy kingdom setting, but no less engaging.
This bundle makes sense for both games. City builder fans are always hungry for new takes on the genre, and these two offer pretty different experiences. Overthrown brings the fantasy chaos with its crown mechanics and co-op play, while Go-Go Town focuses on the nitty-gritty of municipal management.
The 10% discount isn’t huge, but it’s enough to make the decision easier if you’re on the fence about either game. Steam bundles like this usually stick around for a while, so there’s no huge rush, but launching day momentum could mean better visibility for both titles.
City builders have been having a bit of a moment lately. The genre’s evolved way beyond the classic SimCity formula, with games like Cities: Skylines proving there’s still a huge audience for urban planning sims. Indie developers are finding creative ways to put new spins on the concept, whether it’s through unique mechanics like Overthrown’s crown powers or different settings and challenges.
What’s interesting is how these smaller studios are supporting each other through partnerships like this bundle. Instead of competing directly, they’re recognizing that city builder fans usually want multiple games in the genre. It’s smart business that helps both titles find their audience.
Both games have been building their communities during development, and the launch timing suggests the developers are confident in what they’ve built. Exiting Early Access is always a big milestone for indie games – it means the core experience is polished and ready for the wider gaming audience.
So what’s next? Overthrown’s 1.0 launch tomorrow will be the real test. Early Access feedback has been positive, but full releases always bring more scrutiny and a broader player base. The bundle deal should help both games find new players who might not have discovered them otherwise.
If you’re into city builders or just curious about trying something new, tomorrow’s launch gives you two solid options. Whether you want to throw buildings around with friends in Overthrown or tackle realistic town planning in Go-Go Town, the bundle makes it easy to try both.
The 9 a.m. PT launch time means most of the US will be able to jump in during their lunch break. Not a bad way to spend a Thursday afternoon – building kingdoms and throwing stuff around with the crown that steals souls.
