About Dwarven Skykeep
Learn how to use your deck of tool, spell, and weapon cards to construct an enchanted castle. Then build workbenches, forges, alchemy laboratories, and castle defenses. Order around your fellowship of dwarves to prevent fires, floods, and lightning strikes. Protect the tower from enemies and envious wizards seeking to destroy your legacy. Adapt to the unique landscape, fight off enemy spawns, and earn a fresh pack of cards each time you play.
Dwarven Skykeep's main story takes players through a magical world full of incredible moments, hilarious characters with side quests to offer, and plenty of opportunities to specialize your fancy new equipment.
The sorcerer arrives in Dwarven City with a mission. Find out the exact details of this mysterious mission by helping Dr. Kness do what he does best: build the coolest towers using different types of cards. Choose them wisely before each level.
Your small but bold helpers can build, repair and upgrade rooms, craft tools, extinguish fires, and even fight enemies. Just provide them with constant access to beer, and they'll do anything you command!
On your way to a mission, you will face difficult and sometimes insane challenges. Heat up your tower in the Winter World, drive a train in a desert, keep your tower flying with "Levitron," and attempt to return the eaten sun while making your way through the Shadow World. You will encounter tons of obstacles in every level, but nothing is impossible - especially on the fifth try.
The talented goblin inventor Ghyrka Yo wants to destroy your tower. The bad-tempered Snow Queen freezes everything onsight. Cunning thieves strive to steal your cards. Then there's Gypsy Witch Irinia, Sevendar's old friend... and plenty of other personalities in store.
Dwarven Skykeep ain't just about Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. There are plenty of other interesting tributes hidden throughout the game. Meet Genkins the Paladin (he loves his chicken!), help a predestined hero Lightstar find Excalibur, and, somewhere in the desert, discover a big worm named Shah-e-khulud...

Not for me.1 found this helpful
Really picks up after the first few levels once you start getting the artefacts that give you specific cards in your starting hand. The gameplay, story and writing steadily improve as you get into it. I will admit it has some design issues but it's charming and I definitely don't regret buying it.1 found this helpful
EDIT: Plenty of reviews mention how the rng is broken n stuff but honestly I love this game. If you have some patience and understanding for some finnicky mechanics please just give the game a shot. I feel the love here and I had a blast. You just have to keep that restart button ready early in levels just incase you can't get things rolling but it really isn't a big deal. This game has so much to offer and people just gave up right away. It only gets easier to work with and more awesome to play as you get going. Under 100 reviews on a game with this much soul is pathetic... people are so lame. Open your heart and give it some love. It's a great game.
What kind of game dev doesn't add an option for for propper resolution setting in 2020's? It's ether 4:3 in a smal windowed mode or the current windows resolution, and if you have a resolution larger than 720p or 1080p then be prepared to squint yourself silly. In other words it's ether to small windowed mode or to small ui and sprites in fullscreen. No, this is not a 20 euro game, it's a 2 euro game and then only buy it when theres 95% off on those 2 euros.
I couldn't bring myself to give the game more than 20 minutes after becoming flustered with the controls and tutorials. It may seem unfair to base my review on that much play, but I"m just uninstalling and never playing against because of it.
Bit of a mess, hitboxes are very small, controls are awkward and uncomfortable, Text has many spelling and grammatical errors. Still very fun game gameplay wise.
