About this game
Giantfall is a medieval kingdom builder / Tower defence real time strategy game. It involves you creating a kingdom and defending it against marauding Giants and Giant creatures. Build, Survive, Fight, Determine what is causing the mutations and destroy it.
Buildings / Towns
Design and build towns and villages to generate food, wealth and above all defence. Grow crops, create lumberyards, stone and iron mines to obtain the resources required to build up your kingdom, attract other settlers and create your armies.
Defence
Build Towers, walls and defences against the enemy, Different towers allow for different capabilities against a multitude of enemies. Starting from simple archer towers, research and develop powerful ballista, catapult and bombard towers. Create a mage school and unlock magic and power magical towers.
Armies
Build armies to fight off attacks in less defended areas or strike at the enemy first.
Research
Research new technologies and skills in order to advance your buildings, defences and armies.
Defence
Build towers and defensive walls to keep back the creatures. Armies to both defend and attack the enemy and traps to capture useful creatures.
Magic / Weapons
From technologies, learn how to develop new weapons, spells and traps. Use these to bait and attack the enemy.
Enemies
Ordinary creatures have mutated, attracted to food and easy prey your kingdom is the target. From carrot loving Giant Rabbits, Seagulls that just want to "drop" on your buildings to powerful creatures and the worst of all mutated humans from this and neighbouring islands looking for some fresh meat to eat and towers to stomp on.
Economy
Maintain an healthy economy in order to keep defence production high. As the enemy smash down walls, towers and buildings be ready to build new better ones in their place. Keep your population happy with food, housing otherwise they may fee elsewhere leaving the kingdom undefended.
Boons
Find magical artifacts that grant powerful boons, these can make the game easier or harder depending on your preference. They allow for powerful troops to make life easier from the beginning or secrets to improving the economy, buildings and your peoples well being.
Survival
Pick you biome, world size and story teller to generate a random map each game. Adjust difficulty and play boons to change and shape each game.
Story Tellers
Pick the story teller for a different game experience. From peaceful town building with the occasional threat, to rampaging monster hoards and even the rise of the undead. Four unique story tellers allow the game to be played how you like it. Story events are determined by each story teller, some simply focussing on survival, others on survival against not only creatures but also barbarian raiders or even the living dead.

Patch NotesOfficial
1.0.09.00
This latest patch is based on game balance and making the earlier game (first 40-50 days) much easier for the standard Story Teller (Cedric). It also makes the game a little easier for new players by enforcing easier new game setting for the Tutorial. Amberstones These will No-longer convert villagers or Refugees into GIants. This allows you to not worry about picking resources or cleaning mess around Amberstones. Military Units or special units will still be effected Dialogs Pressing Escape when a main dialog is open will now close that dialog rather than pull up the Pause menu Note, it will still display the Pause menu when no dialog is open as before Tutorial and New Game Mode The tutorial will now lock new game mode into the Easy Story Teller (Emis) and the small world and either Easy or Standard Creature difficulty. This is to allow new players more time to get used to the game mechanics. Story Tellers Cedric will now build up slower making the game more easy using that Story Teller. This will allow you to build up your colony more before the harder creatures appear. Note, Enabling the Tutorial In-Game will not change the game modes or story tellers. This will only effect new games. If you have any issues with this patch then please let us know via the Steam Discussion Forums. Thanks,Read full article on Community Announcements (BirchwoodGames)AnnouncementsOfficial

Patch 1.0.0.5
Outposts and Balancing Key Changes Outpost building Cart carry capacity Outposts The Outpost allows you to conquer distant islands much easier. Now instead of workers or warehouse carts having to send items to the main castle these can now be deposited in an outpost and added to the available global resources. Warehouse/Market Carts These will now trigger once at least 10 resource items have been stored in the warehouse and can now carry a maximum of 50 of each resource. This allows them to not get too full and better handle when lots of farms etc are nearby. This especially helps when there is a nearby outpost which acts as part of the global resource economy.Read full article on Community Announcements (BirchwoodGames)Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 1.0.02 Small Fixes
Hi, Just a couple of small Fixes from issues we have noticed post 1.0 Fixed problem where the Ghost Building (used while placing a building) was impacting on units path finding. Mainly villagers but could impact other units also. Fixed small issue where some creatures were over stepping their target position in certain circumstances Small tweak to performance for bombard cannons Request a Favour I'd like to thank everyone who has already purchased the game. I really hope you are enjoying it. I'd like to ask a favour however. Currently we don't have any active reviews for the game but people are playing it. Steam basically demotes games that have no reviews so I'd really appreciate it if you could give us a review to help us out. Thanks.Read full article on Community Announcements (BirchwoodGames)AnnouncementsOfficial
