The Keep is a role-playing video game developed and published by Cinemax.

Gameplay

The game is a dungeon crawler consisting of 10 levels, each a floor of Watrys's Tower. To complete a level a player must get through multiple puzzles, traps and enemies. The game features a realtime combat and players can use spells. A Spell can be cast with the help of Runes that players find across levels. Different mixtures of Runes make different Spells.

Story

The game takes place in the Kingdom of Tallia. Evil Wizard Watrys is becoming more powerful and the ruling council isn't paying attention to this threat. One day a village is burnt and all local children are kidnapped by Watrys. A nameless villager then sets off to a tower where Watrys lives in hopes of defeating evil and saving the children.

Reception

The game has received generally positive reviews from critics. The average review score is 77% [1][2]

NintendoDojo gave the game 83%. It praised the gameplay, most notably the combat system. The challenging difficulty and puzzles also got a positive response. On the other hand, it criticised the lack of an automatic save feature and level design as every room looked the same.[3]

RPG Fan marked the game as a miniature clone of Legend of Grimrock but rated it positively at 70%.[4]
