  • Post launch fixes, updates & tweaks - 29 November 2025

    Defend the Castle 1.4 Updates: Build 1.4We got a bunch of small patching rolling out with the 1.4 build making the game a little bit more true to the "Tower Defence" genre. Notable changesRemoval of Autofire flag Watchtower can be upgraded into offensive unit You can hire archers that automatically shoot enemies Fixed Birds "mem leak" Arrow reload speed shop item Important message about SavegamesThe way i've set up the savegame system makes it impossible to allow old saves to load after any update that involves the stats of the player, I will be trying different methods to work around this but for now I want to inform you that the saves will be wiped after updating. All achievements are loaded seperately and progress will not be reset. Post Release FeedbackI'm super happy to see this much engagement and its been very nice reading all the lovely feedback & reviews that has been made for…

  • Build 1.3: Tutorial / Introduction - 25 November 2025

    Tutorial / IntroductionWe have reached a state in the game (Build 1.3) Where all known bugs and todo in the lists have been gone over in the game. Build 1.3 introduces a tutorial / introduction for the new player which really sets the lore and tone for the beginning of the game. We never knew it would add so much depth to the whole of the game by just making something like this. The whole feeling about it is that It just makes sense.I hope that you like it, I certainly had fun making it! Best regards, Linus

Short description

Defend the Castle is a day-by-day tower defense roguelike where you face 5 enemy waves per day, upgrade between battles, and struggle to survive as enemies grow stronger. Make the right choices or fall. Some days bring... something else.

About this game

🏰 Defend the Castle How long can you survive - when each day only makes the enemy stronger? Defend the Castle is an intense day-by-day tower defense game where you fight off waves of attackers in a world that never gives you a moment to breathe. Each day brings 5 waves of enemy assaults , and you have only 60 seconds to survive. But this isn't just a game about defense. It's a game about choices . What do you upgrade? What do you sacrifice? What will it cost to see one more dawn? 🔥 Features • Roguelike structure: Death is inevitable - and necessary. Fail to meet your daily kill quota , and it's game over. • Strategic upgrades: Between days, spend your hard-earned resources to improve your base , repair the damage , and prepare for what’s next . • Hidden threats: Some days feel... different. Something larger stirs in the distance. What awaits at the edge of dawn? • Dynamic enemy waves: Each wave features unique combinations of enemy types - no defense holds forever. • Atmospheric world: A living battlefield with storm clouds that strike lightning , flocks of birds in the sky , and visual details that breathe life into every deadly sunrise. ⚔️ Fate is Calling Defend the Castle is as much a battle against time as it is against the enemy. A strategic survival experience where every choice matters - and every day could be your last.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Defend the Castle's USD price history spans from Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Defend the Castle's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 25, 2026 through Sep 25, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Defend the Castle at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
