About the game
A tower defense roguelike with heroes, spells and cards
Hantro: Ember Keep is a fast, colorful castle defense game. Enemy armies attack your keep from every side, and you hold the walls with five heroes, area spells and a catapult.
Between waves you pick roguelike power cards such as chain lightning, wildfire, arrow rain and deep frost, so every run builds a different strategy. Gold from each battle becomes permanent upgrades for heroes, walls and talents, and stars unlock new regions like the Autumn Forest and the Winter Realm, guarded by giant bosses such as the Rune Golem and the Glacier Giant.
Built for one-handed portrait play and short sessions, Ember Keep works offline and is free to play, with optional purchases and rewarded ads only when you choose to watch them.
