Indie roguelike called "mine action game" by the developers. In Dome Keeper our task is to defend the base from alien attacks, as well as to dig tunnels under the surface of the planet in order to obtain resources needed, among other things, to upgrade the hero's equipment.
Dome Keeper (previously known as Dome Romantik) is a science fiction roguelike with base defense, underground exploration and resource extraction.
It was developed by indie studio Bippinbits. The two-person team from Germany has set a goal of creating games that evade the classic genre classification. They describe their work as a "mine action game". Dome Keeper is a 2D game made in a pixel art graphic style.
In Dome Keeper offers a story that is only a pretext for the subsequent challenges set by the developers. The hero of the game is an astronaut thrown to one of the inhospitable planets. From then on he has to defend the title dome - the only barrier separating him from enemies.
Dome Keeper is divided into two stages: repelling enemy attacks and mining resources hidden under the planet's surface. Thanks to them, we upgrade the base's defenses and our astronaut's equipment (including a faster jet pack or a more powerful drill). The game also features artifacts that open the way to special solutions, such as an elevator that makes it easier to transport resources.
Moving quickly between the tunnels and the dome is a key aspect of Doom Keeper. Successive waves of monsters invading our base force frequent returns to the surface. During combat, we can use a cannon and a huge sword - it is used for both close-range and long-range combat, thanks to the option to fire the blade.

Game Ratings for Dome Keeper Video Game.

Dome Keeper is a labour of love for developer Bippinbits, a two-person team based in Dresden who are also a couple. According to publisher Raw Fury, it was in profit from day one and it is easy to see why – this is a simple game, but one made to a high standard. Its pixel art, wealth of upgrades, and clever sound design are all praiseworthy. Those looking for a deeper roguelike experience should look elsewhere, but ironically Dome Keeper is ideal for players in the hunt for something a bit more surface-level.
Saving Content: 4 / 5 by Scott Ellison II
Dome Keeper blends resource gathering, defense, and roguelike elements seamlessly. Each run was truly fresh start once you got underground to dig for resources, gadgets, and relics. There’s lots to explore and replay in just a single mode, compound that with other difficulties and configurations, will keep you coming back for more. Bippinbits excels at the micro tactics here, where one small change in how you focus your tech tree can alter the trajectory of the run. Dome Keeper is lovingly crafted, rewards thoughtful play, and has more going on under the surface than it leads on.
PC Gamer: 80 / 100 by Jon Bailes
A simple yet nuanced roguelike packed with interesting decisions, tense fights and lots of digging.
