A nice arcade experience, with great art and sound direction. good for just popping on and playing a round while you watch some youtube! Roguelikes tend to fall into the trap of early game being too hard until you learn its mechanics, so I really appreciated how Doom Keeper eases you into its gameplay before you're digging around a huge map.

I really appreciate the amount of of options they give you to tweak your rounds. Having options for alternate play styles like drillbert mode or auto defense only is a lot of fun!

And prestige mode is a nice twist on your basic gameplay loop, but endless mode is so dangerous to me. I WILL just mine hours upon hours with no higher thinking going on in my brain.

Dome Keeper is a fun challenging survival, resource management, tower defence game. It sees you mining resources under your base and using what’s found to level up defences against waves of enemies or alternatively improving your characters resource gathering abilities.
Something I quickly began to appreciate about Dome Keeper was its freedom of progression. You initially start with 1 base, 1 character, 1 game mode and a handful of difficulties and map sizes. This doubles in size as your progress with each completion granting new game options, towers, and ways to play. I personally loved the desolate atmosphere that the mines and barren planet surface provided with a great OST to top it off.
After unlocking most of the games content there doesn’t seem to be much appeal to keep playing. The concept and gameplay loop is fun but it feels shallow and lacking depth to keep playing. I enjoyed my time with Dome Keeper but once I was done, I haven’t had an urge to go back.

É divertido, mas não por muito tempo. No começo, quando todos os mecanismos estão bloqueados, surge uma certa empolgação pra desbloquear tudo, já que aparenta ser o real objetivo do jogo. Porém, essa empolgação só dura até você perceber que os outros acessórios, como o pomar e o repelente, nem se comparam com o escudo, assim como as relíquias, onde poucas delas são realmente significativas, enquanto o restante é desprezível.

Esse desbalanceamento presente nos equipamentos, aliado com a pouca variedade de builds, limita o jogador a seguir sempre o mesmo caminho (sendo esse o único funcional), tornando a experiência bastante repetitiva, e que só vai mudar caso você queira concluir alguma conquista em específico.

Quanto a gameplay em si, o jogo conta só com dois gamemodes, sendo um deles mais voltado pra competição, o que eu acho ok, mas não é o meu estilo, então para os jogadores casuais só resta o modo caça relíquia, que como eu já disse, é bem repetitivo.

Mesmo assim, eu consegui contornar esses defeitos e me divertir com o que estava ao meu alcance enquanto platinava o jogo, e tenho que dar um crédito para os gráficos, o estilo de arte e o design de som, que são uma verdadeira graça.

I am sure many people will find this game enjoyable; it just wasn't for me. The shorter timer on each descent into the ground stressed me out. I felt like I had a good hold on the game and beat runs multiple times on increasing difficulties. I just don't like feeling anxious about missing the deadline. I already have enough deadlines to keep in real life. I don't want them in a video game.

On the other hand, the choices you have to make about upgrades are interesting. It feels like there is enough variety that is viable enough to warrant having to choose between multiple good options. I like the variety that the different playable characters and the different dome types present. As I said, many people will probably enjoy this game, even if I do not.

i am generally not a resource management enjoyer, but dome keeper has IT. it is stylish, fun, and downright engrossing with its gameplay loop. the two modes, relic hunt (30-50 minute bursts with a goal) and prestige (uncapped, but generally 3-ish hour score attack mode) are each vastly different play experiences and the 4 domes each play drastically different in each mode. this combined with the various gadgets, modifiers and difficulties means there is a LOT to this game that on the surface seems like it doesn’t have much content.
