About

Magekeep Siege

Features
Read full description

Hold the tower. Grow the keep. Raid the seas. Magekeep Siege is a 3D hex-citadel sim. You are the warden of a living island — farms, lumber, mines, houses, and barracks tick in real time, even while you are away. Wave defense is one activity of that citadel, not the whole game. BUILD THE HEX KEEP • Place farms, mills, mines, houses, markets, taverns, and barracks on a hex island • Chop wall groves, bridge to nearby islets, and upgrade plots up to level 6 • Food, wood, iron, and gold keep producing for up to 8 hours while you are gone HIRE AND RAID • Hire knights from the castle once a farm is running • March them against other players' keep snapshots • Win gold — or send them to rest if the raid fails DEFEND THE WALLS • Your mage holds the battlements against rogues, slimes, and warbands • Draft blessings, cast Inferno / Frost / Storm, and grow the roof mage • Outposts, biomes, and prestige sigils deepen a long run This is an original Balcony Games title. Combat, keep economy, knight raids, and the first-session citadel tutorial were built for Magekeep — not a reskin of a wave-defense template.
