About this game
The Keep is an old-school style dungeon crawler with new-school ideas and 3DS-focused gameplay.
Players journey into The Keep to seek out and defeat the wizard Watrys, who has grown corrupt and evil due to some energy crystals that aid in magic.

In classic dungeon-crawling mode, players journey deeper into the Keep via a first-person perspective as they seek the exit to each level, fight monsters, and trek deeper into the dark caverns.
In this adventure, exploration is as important as entering the real-time combat with some brains and forethought.
Magic spells and runes are discovered and must be carefully utilized by players to maximize their use and effectiveness.
Traps, puzzles, spiders, orcs, spirits, and other dangers await--as well as enslaved children that need to be saved! The Keep utilizes the top, 3-D screen of the 3DS for all gameplay, and rather than moving forward in "steps" or "turns," movement is smoother and more real-time, though the maps are of a classic, grid-based nature.
All actions, except movement and strafing, are performed on the touch-screen.
Combat is performed by slowly swiping across a grid on the touch-screen, and magic spells are cast in a similar manner--by swiping in straight lines over the runes in the magic runes grid.
However, there are multiple spells, and multiple runes, but only limited space to place them.
Setting up magic attacks and spells involves a puzzle-like challenge of placing runes to maximize the limited space available to make the most spells available as possible.
Runes also have varying cooldown times, spells may use as few as two runes or as a many as five, and most runes are used in multiple spells.
Players earn experience and level up in traditional RPG manners, e.g., picking up experience through saving children, defeating enemies, and the like--but individual abilities are also improved by using them.
For instance, melee attacks improve by using more melee attacks.

About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks The Keep [Code In Box] for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Keep [Code In Box] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2021.
