Own the club. Grow the legends. Rule the sport. OVERTHROW is a deep sports-management tycoon set in Solus... a world where owners don't just field a team, they build an empire. Start at the bottom of a five-tier league pyramid and claw your way to the top through shrewd signings, patient player development, hard-nosed finance, and the occasional dirty trick. BUILD A SQUAD THAT GROWS WITH YOU Sign fighters, set your lineup and formation, and play out matches with live, animated match-day drama with ejections, injuries, momentum swings and all. Every player has a hidden ceiling. Give a young talent minutes and the right coaching and watch them climb season after season. Track each player's year-by-year growth on their own rating chart. HUNT FOR HIDDEN GEMS Somewhere out there is a raw teenager in the 50s who's secretly a future superstar. Scout hard, find them before your rivals, hand them minutes, and watch a Wonderkid rocket up the ratings while your club rises with them. They're rare and finding one is a story you'll remember. RUN THE WHOLE OPERATION Balance wages against ambition. Buy and sell on the transfer market, send prospects out on loan, and re-sign your stars before they walk. Grow your Proving Grounds and academy, court faction backers whose creed pulls your club good or evil, and expand into companies, property and the finer things as your fortune grows. CORNER THE MARKETS, MAKE BILLIONS Your empire runs on more than match results. Trade a futuristic stock exchange, take companies public and buy them out, ride the booms and survive the crashes, and roll your winnings into property and the high life. Turn a scrappy fifth-tier club into a billion-dollar dynasty and the smartest owner in Solus wins as much in the markets as on the field. SCHEME IN THE SHADOWS Hire an off-the-books operative to infiltrate a rival's finances, crater a club's value, force a player out cheap, or set up a private high-stakes table. Every job is a risk. CLIMB THE ALL-TIME RANKS Chase honors, records and a place in the Hall of Fame, and compare your legacy on Game Center leaderboards. Hundreds of unique characters, deep season-to-season progression, and a living world of Solus that keeps evolving. How far will your will take you? OVERTHROW and all characters are part of the Master of Wills brand, owned by Stormcrest Inc.
