Defend The Keep

Defend the Keep is a castle-defense game where your hand is your best weapon. Grab goblins, knights and charging boars right off the battlefield and fling them into the air. Throw them high enough and they won't get back up.

Between waves, spend your gold building your defenses: hire archers and wizards for the battlements, upgrade your walls through eight castle tiers, and wheel out a catapult and a ballista. Unlock seven spells (Rain of Arrows, Explosive Casket, Piercing Bolt, Blizzard, Lightning Storm, Mud Wall and Fire Tornado) and save them for when the siege wagons, ogres and dragons show up.

HOW TO PLAY

- Click and drag an enemy to pick it up, then flick to throw it

- With the Many Hands upgrade, drag a held enemy over others to scoop them up too

- Open the spell tome to cast; click the field to aim placed spells (right-click or Esc cancels)

- Shop between waves for units, castle upgrades, research and achievement perks
