What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We would love to hear feedback from the community and improve the game to provide the best experience. Due to the short runs and a lot of replayability, Dethroned is the perfect game to utilize Early Access. Players' feedback will help us improve the game in the direction the player wants. There are no issues in getting back to the game, even after a few months, to enjoy the next big update and relive the experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We target to release the full version of Dethroned by the end of 2024.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the full version of the game, we plan to add more content: biomes, mages, creatures, artifacts, spells, and locations. In the period of Early Access, we want to cooperate with the community to improve the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable. You can beat and endlessly repeat the game because of procedurally generated maps and two difficulty levels. Currently, there are 3 mages, 28 creatures, 25 artifacts with 4 different rarities, 7 spells, 3 biomes, and 18 locations. After beating the game by 3 mages, a stage-based, huge battle awaits you.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the price after the Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are open to feedback from the community and we discuss all suggestions. We are active on server and the Steam forum.”

Roadmap

About This Game


Assemble a team of extraordinary creatures, build your influence, level up your mage, and discover powerful artifacts to recover the lost realms. Take on the role of mages that once ruled the world side by side, until it was usurped by a rebellious mage - Qorus. With the help of fantastic creatures and monsters, restore the world to its former order.

EXPLORE FANTASTIC WORLD


The unique combination of carefully designed locations with procedural generation makes the game world different every time and filled with interesting places. Complete quests to expand the world and permanently increase the pool of available locations, spells, and artifacts.

DETHRONED MAGES


Each mage once ruled their own realm. Now with much less influence, they want to regain what has been taken from them.
Each ex-ruler has a unique base skill and a set of possible development paths that unlock along with the experience gained during the game. For example, the necromancer can focus on summoning the dead, cursing enemies, or mixing these skills - you decide.

BOTTLED SPELLS


A well-chosen spell can single-handedly destroy the enemy team or save your units. Spells are essential to the game, but each is disposable, and you can only have a few at once. You must carefully choose when to use them.

FEATURES

  • 5 playable mages with different gameplay styles
  • 40+ fantastic creatures to join or challenge your party
  • 30+ artifacts, each one with 4 different rarities
  • Multiple offensive and defensive spells
  • 20+ hand-designed, small locations with unique themes
  • A world that evolves between adventures - new locations, artifacts, and spells that open up more possibilities
  • Dynamic skirmishes happening in real-time without changing the game view for maximum immersion
  • Relatively short runs (about 1 hour)
