A dark fantasy tower defense where you command undead troops from a forest shrine, fighting off waves of invaders with a mix of direct combat and strategic minion management.

What players say

Players enjoy Crypt Keeper as a relaxing but increasingly strategic tower defense roguelite. Early runs are easy to pick up, but reviews note that the game relies on a single map and few tower types, which can feel grindy as progress slows. Many praise the controller support and replayability through curses and blessings.
