What is Maze Keeper?
In this single-player roguelike tower defense game, you guard a haunted, procedurally generated maze and try to stop an adventurer from reaching the exit. You can reroll the layout before each run, then place monsters, use cards to reinforce tiles or adjust your monsters, and find totems that grant passive upgrades.
For you if...
- +you like defending routes with monsters and card-based upgrades
- +you enjoy difficult roguelike runs with changing maze layouts
Not for you if...
- −you prefer fixed layouts instead of changing mazes
- −you dislike retrying difficult roguelike challenges
