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.
Shacknews: 7 / 10 by Nicholas Tan
Priced at under $20, Dome Keeper will keep you on your toes for several mining sessions. Its cyclical design is simple and executed fairly well, keeping the tension consistent throughout a run. However, upgrades quickly become restrictive in terms of effective builds, and both mining and defense become predictable in subsequent playthroughs. That said, the game has plenty of room for future updates that could help balance things out. Dome Keeper, without taking too many risks, fits simply and innocuously inside the world of the iterative survival genre.

Dome Keeper merges digging and base defence but struggles to make either a success in their own right.
GideonsGaming: by Joseph Pugh
Its compact nature makes for a graceful game that isn’t bloated, but it also steps on its own toes. The number of upgrades, and even how you mine out resources feels like an illusion of choice as the optimal way to play becomes obvious fairly quickly. Up until that point, and even for a while afterward, it’s fun to play. It just doesn’t stand its ground for nearly as long as other rogue-lite games, and replayability is an important defining feature of the genre.
