Defend and level up your Crystal against waves of enemies emerging from four portals in this indie strategy RPG blending old-school RPGs and tower defense. Choose from unique Keepers like Arthus, Ranulf, or Jade, each with four special skills-including an ultimate that enhances their personal defense tower-and build shared structures such as teleportation stations or hunting traps using scavenged timber, stone, and food. Explore vast maps filled with beaches, deserts, forests, lakes, and rivers to hunt, mine, loot secret chests guarded by legendary foes, and gather rare weapons.
The core loop demands scavenging resources, fighting enemies, and constructing defenses to survive timed attacks, with Keeper levels tied to Crystal evolution for new abilities. Create custom challenges in the editor to share with others. Cooperative multiplayer for up to five players highlights Keeper synergies, though it's an upcoming feature-perfect for strategy fans who crave exploration-driven tower defense on PC.
Rise of Keepers (RoK) is a mix of the best Old School RPGs and Tower Defense games.
The idea behind RoK is to offer a new gameplay concept bringing together the best features of each game style.
In Rise of Keepers your main goal is to defend and level up the Crystal. You will face attacking waves coming from the four portals, that are activated in every time interval, but differently from the other tower defense games, you have to go out and explore the enviroment, cut trees for timber, mine rocks for stone, hunt animals for food, face enemies, open secret chests, loot, and finally build your defense towers using the collected resources.
Before starting the game, you will choose your Keeper. Each Keeper has special skills, can build its own defense tower, as well as other structures that are common to all Keepers - teleportation stations, hunting traps, fishing equipment and other.
Each Keeper has 4 unique Skills and one of them is the Ultimante Skill that interacts directly with the Keeper's Tower, making the game much more dynamic.
The level of the Keeper will follow the Crystal level. Each time the Crystal evolves, all allied Keepers evolve as well, and then you can unlock new abilities and improve their attributes.
Ranulf, Jade and Arthus are the first Keepers to become avaliable in the game. The first one avaliable is Arthus.
