Grove Keeper

You are the Grove Keeper — an ancient forest deity awakened to defend the last wild lands from human expansion.

In a medieval world being stripped bare by human greed, loggers, poachers, and invading armies push ever deeper into the forest. To stop them, you must awaken the land itself. Grow forests, restore wildlife, and command powerful guardians as you fight back in a strategic battle for survival.

Grove Keeper is a real-time strategy game where nature is both your weapon and your resource. Shape the battlefield, control territory, and unleash devastating natural powers as enemies grow stronger with each passing season. The healthier your forest becomes, the greater your influence — but careless decisions can leave you vulnerable when the pressure mounts.

The Grove is alive.
And time is running out...

Wildlife and trees form the backbone of your power. As animals return and ecosystems flourish, your connection to nature strengthens, unlocking new magical powers and strategies.

Grow trees to generate energy, control the flow of enemies, and reshape the battlefield itself. Expand carefully, defend key Sites of Power, and decide how the land responds to invasion.

Neglect the balance, and your magic will wither.

Nurture it, and the forest might still have hope.

Summon raging waters to sweep away invaders, tear open the sky with lightning or carve out zones of healing amid the chaos. When all else fails, call upon ancient forces that leave nothing standing in their wake.

Your magic is bound to the living world around you. As the forest thrives, so too does your power — but every spell is a choice, and every choice reshapes the battlefield.

Summon and control a roster of mythological creatures — goblins, satyrs, and towering giants — inspired by Norse, Celtic, and Slavic folklore. Each guardian fills a distinct role on the battlefield, from agile ranged attackers to brutal close-combat defenders.

Position them carefully, support them with your powers, and deploy them where they are needed most. Master their strengths, combine their abilities, and adapt your strategy as new threats emerge — whether you favour defensive formations, aggressive assaults, or carefully timed counterattacks.

Human forces will not relent.

From lowly woodcutters to heavily armed warriors and fire-wielding burners, your enemies grow more dangerous with every passing season. They adapt, organize, and push deeper into the forest, leaving destruction in their wake.

To survive, you must seize control of ancient Sites of Power, deny enemy advances, and turn the land itself against them. Hold key territory, break their momentum, and decide where the forest makes its stand — before the grove is lost forever.

The Grove is always changing.

From the calm renewal of spring to the brutal trials of winter, each season reshapes the land and alters how the game plays. A level that feels manageable in spring may become far more dangerous when faced in autumn or winter, as resources grow scarce and enemies become more aggressive.

You can return to the same locations under different seasonal conditions, changing the difficulty and forcing new strategies. What thrives in one season may struggle in the next — encouraging experimentation, adaptation, and replayability with every run.
