People of Nysamor,
Today marks a new chapter for Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown, as we formally announce our launch into Early Access in 2024 on Steam and our new partnership with PlaySide Publishing. Make sure you join our official Discord to stay up to date with the details for our upcoming 2023 beta.
Zugalu Entertainment looks forward to working with PlaySide Publishing as they have a proven track record of working on innovative and high quality titles. Like Zugalu, PlaySide understands what makes a title great and have ambitious goals for Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown.
Establish your realm
Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown is a medieval fantasy city-builder with real-time combat and weighty decision-making. As a new ruler, you and the survivors of Aldamor travel to the curious land of Nysamor in search of a new home. Together, you will work to raise up a great kingdom, and define your legacy.

Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown offers a fully-realized single-player experience for solo play, or the ability to play in up-to-four-player multiplayer. This is something that sets it apart from other games in the same genre, it’s rare in city-builder and strategy games that you are able to build your kingdom alongside your friends – with the choice to play cooperatively or competitively.
As to what kind of ruler you shall become… that choice is yours! Will your disposition lean towards cruelty or clemency? Each choice you make directly affects your kingdom, the society you create and the world around you.

Ensure your kingdom can thrive…
Explore mysterious lands, establish a powerful military to fortify your dominion and engage in real-time combat to defend or expand your rule.
Aside from contending with both AI and human forces, players will also find themselves contending with the Waelgrim, an enigmatic and capricious entity that prowls the lands of Nysamor.
