Build a kingdom by day, slash ragdoll hordes by night in this streamlined hack-and-slash strategy game.
Night Keep
SteamBuild your Kingdom
Night Keep is a minimalist strategy game with hack and slash, inspired by Thronefall. By day you build your kingdom; when the night starts you defend it with towers, troops, and your hero’s abilities.

Balance Economy and Defense
At its core, Night Keep strips away unnecessary complexity while staying challenging, inviting players to devise their own strategies. Choose from a range of buildings, each with unique abilities and upgrade paths, and find the right balance between economy and defense for every level. Build houses, windmills, and fields that generate gold if they survive the night, but don’t get too greedy. Invest in towers with three distinct upgrade routes, or in barracks to raise an army of active ragdolls.

Select Class & Fight Ragdolls
Night Keep offers three classes, each with two unique abilities. You can play all three classes at once and switch seamlessly during battle. Hack and slash through waves of twenty different ragdolls. Customize your playstyle by selecting perks and challenges before each level. Night Keep has seven levels that deliver around five to eight hours of playtime, plus higher difficulties and an endless mode for those chasing a new high score.

Main Features:
- Three playable classes
- Seven levels
- 13 buildings
- 20 unique enemies
- Normal, difficult, endless mode
- Two Quests per level
- High score system
- 15 perks and 10 challenges
- Play in 3rd person or fixed birds-eye perspective
