Terraria Meets Aliens In Frantic Roguelike Dome Keeper, Playable Now

Dome Keeper is a new roguelike game that mixes underground mining with tower defense. email 's an homage to the arcade classic Missile Command. Dome Keeper just released a demo on Steam prior to the upcoming Steam Next Fest 2022 event You can try it out and delve deep underground to find the materials required to protect your dome from the deadly creatures that are descending on you.

Dome Keeper places the player in a high-altitude dome above the surface of a hostile planet. Every time you play, you have to descend into the depths below, mining out a path in search of valuable materials that can be used to upgrade. Mining is easy. All terrain is broken into small blocks. Crafting game veterans are familiar with this layout. The deeper you get the more difficult and more difficult mining becomes, therefore, you'll need to start upgrading your equipment before you head too far down.

Similar to Minecraft and Terraria Resources are usually tightly grouped and if you notice a glimmer along your tunnel, digging it will often reveal more valuable materials waiting for collection. After the resources have been mined and extracted, they need to be manually dragged to the dome for storage and for use. To do this, press the button to tether resources. However, the more you drag behind yourself, the slower you will move. At some point, you'll become immobile until you drop a few chunks of rock on the ground.

Once your resources are at your base and are in the base, they can be fed into upgrades for your drill and jetpack which will allow for more efficient mining and traversal with the capability to carry more resources at once without affecting your manoeuvrability. You can also upgrade your dome to defend your base from the hordes of creatures from the other side.

The tower defense area is handled by a giant laser on top of your dome, which can be turned around its surface in an arc to target any direction. You can detect any threats or direct attacks to your dome via the tunnels below, which means you will know when it's time to get back up and clean up. Upgrades to the dome can also provide helpful information like the time until the next attack and your dome's current level of health.

At present, Dome Keeper offers two difficulty settings - the default 'brutal' setting and a slightly less intimidating 'hard but doable' option. It's quite difficult initially and the rumbling sound coming from the surface can make you feel scared. You can now play the demo on Steam.
