Venture Back to Castle Hammerwatch

In Hammerwatch Anniversary Edition, players return to the treacherous dungeons of Castle Hammerwatch, ready to battle the forces of evil that haunt the Kingdom of Herian. Since King Roland's banishment by the malevolent Blight and his dragon army, the realm has descended into chaos. As Blight's puppet, Lord Archibald wreaks havoc, it’s up to your band of heroes to take back the kingdom.

Choose Your Heroes Wisely

Select from seven distinct hero classes, each with their own strengths and unique capabilities. Whether you prefer to fight solo or join forces with friends in online or local co-op mode, the choice is yours. Face waves of deadly adversaries and navigate the labyrinthine paths in one of three available campaigns. Alternatively, create your own customized scenarios to test your skills against even greater challenges.
