Mercenary Keep: Siege Defense

You are the captain of a mercenary company on the wall of your keep. The enemy comes from the right in waves: bandits, ghouls, skeleton knights, witches, ogres, necromancers. Your hired heroes fight on their own, but the fight is won by your hands.

Features

• Raise the Shield Dome for 5 seconds to catch the red-marked heavy blows, throw Fire Pots at the dense pack, and unleash Crown's Wrath when the field is full.
• Every boss has a signature move you can see coming. Read the tell, press the right button, and break the boss.
• Hire named mercenaries with their own faces, voices and pair bonuses. Grow your keep floor by floor into a walled town.
• Take the ballista yourself for a first-person burst against the siege engines.
• Send your company on short hands-on expeditions: ambushes, fords, camps, rescues.
