Defend the keep looks like it will have a Linux build beside the games Windows PC release. Thanks to the continuing effort of Vanille Games. Along with the coming release on Steam and Itch.io.
Since it looks like we will indeed have a day one release. Vanille Games continue to test the Linux build. So far so good.
“Defend the keep seems to be working as expected on highest settings. I didn’t catch any other Linux specific bugs.”
So a couple of good things here. The game native Linux build is now on Steam. And as Vanille Games continue to test. There does not seem to be any bugs.
Having a chance to also play the Linux build myself. The graphics are sharp but very vivid for a cartoon’ish art style. And the gameplay also continues to be very smooth.
Therefore, good news all around for the release. Which is coming on July 16th. Besides good news regarding support. Let’s move on to the game itself.
Defend the keep is a fast paced mix. Both of defensive action and strategy. You have to build walls, towers and place traps to make sure the keep is standing. While you blast fireballs. Creating lightning storms. Then splash poison on the ground to keep the attackers at bay.
You will also discover new creatures and challenging battles. Since defence progresses through forest, mountains, dungeons and fields. While you figure out what turned the local hogs hostile. What’s causing havoc on your towns.
