Unleash your inner necromancer in Crypt Keeper – a roguelite tower defense game. Raise skeleton armies, defend your crypt, and manipulate enemy waves with the ESSENCE-IAL update.
Banished from your homeland, you awaken the dormant powers of necromancy within you. On a secluded forest clearing, you raise your shrine and repel wave after wave of heroic attackers.
Take the fight to your foes by engaging them head-on, or let your towers and skeletal legion do the heavy lifting. The battlefield is yours to command.

Construct towers, fences, barracks, and a vast array of structures. Every placement is in your hands—strategize and design the ultimate defense.

Gather vital resources and grow your base. With each expansion, you strengthen your hold against increasingly formidable enemy waves.

Earn experience with every encounter, unlock powerful perks, and refine your strategy to make each run better than the last.
