Thronefall and the Kingshot ads
If a phone ad looked like Thronefall and installed something else, you probably found Kingshot. The stores list them as different games from different companies.
What each store page is selling
Kingshot on the App Store is from Century Games, listed from 22 Feb 2025, free to play with purchases including loot boxes, rated 4.6 from about 237,000 ratings. The genre line is idle medieval survival. Thronefall is a paid, single-player campaign of 10 base maps, from Grizzly Games and Mythwright, with Doghowl on the phone ports.
Reddit threads accuse the ads of ripping off Thronefall's look. I am calling that a community allegation. I have not seen a court filing, and I will not upgrade a forum post into a legal finding. If you wanted Thronefall, use the download page. Kingshot will not load your castle.
Questions
Is Kingshot Thronefall?
No. Different publisher, different price model, different game.
Why do the ads look familiar?
Players say the ads imitate Thronefall. That claim stays attributed to them.
Is Kingshot free?
Free to install, with in-app purchases and loot boxes on the App Store page.
Which one should I buy?
If you searched Thronefall, buy Thronefall. Kingshot is an idle game.
Are all medieval ads the same game?
No. The download page lists the real stores so the names stay separate.
