Magekeep Siege

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.

Start with one humble server room and grow it into a world-spanning data center empire. Idle Datacenter Tycoon is a relaxing idle builder about the machines that run the internet. Build and upgrade rooms, keep your servers powered and cool, win bigger clients and expand campus by campus – and location by location across the world map. BUILD YOUR CAMPUS Server halls, network centers, cooling centers, security, generator halls, battery centers, offices, an AI research lab, TPU halls and quantum computing – every room you build or upgrade boosts your income. POWER THE GRID Your servers are hungry. Run your own power plants, from solar and gas to hydro, nuclear and fusion, and balance production, efficiency and maintenance. EXPLORE THE WORLD Unlock new locations on a growing world map, from a small-town server room to the Cloud HQ – each with its own campus, power plants and clients. TEAM UP IN CLANS Found or join a clan, chat with your members, earn Clan Bits together and build your shared Clan HQ. Visit other clans and climb the clan leaderboard. LIMITED-TIME EVENTS Take part in special events with unique maps and win exclusive worker skins and tap animations. LEVEL UP Earn XP, raise your player level and unlock new features along your roadmap. HANDLE THE CRISIS Overheating, blackouts, hacker attacks and server fires will hit when you least expect them. Tap to react fast, or invest in security and automation to keep things running on their own. EARN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Your data center keeps working when you close the app. Come back to collect your offline earnings. How big can your data center get?
