Keep the Keep v1.14.0: Defender tower and AI Improvements!
It's so relieving to finally announce a pack of major upgrades to the existing AI after a fair bit of development time! First of all, several tower types that were not available for the AI before are now enabled and you'll hopefully have a great time playing against them! So, the following tower types are now enabled: 1. Repair 2. Builder 3. Domain 4. Sapper All of those are automatically available in the Quick Match mode as well as for selection during local multiplayer AI battles. We are especially proud to implement a rather complex and elaborate system supporting the Builder usage, as that tower is immensely powerful in the right hands. Likewise, quite a few smaller AI bugs have been addressed too, hopefully making the whole experience more smooth and human-like - which will help you get around if not finding a worthy multiplayer opponent for yourself. Meanwhile, stay cool... and Keep the Keep! Talk to you in a couple of weeks! Always yours, Nebulate.me team

Good Day, fellow Keepers!
Today we are happy to introduce yet another new Tower Type: the mighty Defender!
This new Tower Type is, in fact, a very different version of the familiar and well-known Shield Tower: Defender has the same 2 health points, requires energy, can face both cardinal and diagonal directions... But here comes an important difference: while Shield tower protects itself from a given direction, Defender covers one nearby friendly tower instead, whatever it may be: a Keep, a Reactor, a Wall, a Soldier, etc.
This allows for flexibility level unbeknownst beforehand since this new tower can be used both to quickly shield important nearby ally that's being pressed and to expand into the territory attacked by the opponent just as well. Indeed, the only thing important to keep in mind is that the Defender tower simply requires the allied tower to exist and have substance to it (so, it won't protect the Domain tower at all) and the energy to be provided.
While we might feel like the new tower is a bit too powerful, the future balance changes shall happen as a result of your feedback rather than our own shenanigans - so we're really looking forward to your opinion on the matter. Please try it out and comment here, under this post, or send us the feedback on our Discord Server.

- Keep the Keep Linux 64-bit [469.38 M]
Game is not tagged as available on Linux on Steam.
Linux is not in the OS list.
A turn-based multiplayer strategy with puzzle elements that looks just like a tower defence game, but really, really isn't.
While it's hard to describe a concrete genre for Keep the Keep, one can imagine Chess mixed with Netstorm set in a quasi-medieval setting.
Build a new Tower every turn to try and outmanoeuvre your opponent on a constantly evolving battlefield.
![]()
There are many different kinds of towers available for you to select, made to allow you full combat flexibility.
Would you like to be extremely aggressive, attacking your opponent directly as soon as the opportunity presents itself?
Would you prefer to build an impenetrable self-restoring defence?
Would you set up some long-spanning plans to destroy the opponent's base with your loyal soldiers?
Up to you to decide!
![]()
The towers you pick before the battle are kept in secret until built on the field.
The turns are done simultaneously, so every turn brings an opportunity to force your opponent to guess what kind of tower are you going to build this time.
This allows for plenty of unpleasant surprises and sudden ambushes. Is this work-under-construction a vicious attack or a bluff?
Should I expect a risky move from my opponent or assume he's as afraid of me as I am of him?
Psychological warfare plays a big role in Keep the Keep!
Keep the Keep is, at its core, a multiplayer game. Thus, we are building a community around it, to both help you find worthy opponents and good friends, as well as allow us to hear you out directly and incorporate your feedback into our updates.
So, you are welcome to come in and experience the game as we intended it!
