    It's a decent rogue-lite miner. You mine for resources, balance upgrades between more efficient resource gathering and being able to defend the base every so often. Presentation is nice and gameplay loop is pretty self explanatory.

    I did find the game becoming pretty repetitive after 4 hrs or so, so I am just getting a few more achievements before calling it quits. I do not regret

    I do not regret buying it, but for a game of this genre it has fairly small amount of content. The runs do feel sorta samey and unlocking new stuff is very few and far between, this could have been done better imho. Still, overall a fairly good game.

    Interesting concept, but it currently needs way more content. It just feels repetitive after a while. I am also not that fond of the timer mechanic.

    Literally and figuratively, there’s a lot to dig in Dome Keeper’s mixture of excavation, resource management, and defense stages.

    The triumphs, however, will have you punching the air: accept that they are sometimes extremely hard-won and you might well consider this a keeper. [Issue#378, p.120]

    Dome Keeper is a well-disguised time-management game with a great atmosphere and plenty of ways to engage with its content.
