What is KeeperRL?
As an evil keeper in a roguelike strategy game, you build a dungeon inside a mountain, recruit and equip minions, and raid other factions across a procedurally generated world map. You can control minions directly in battles where enemies move when you do. If your keeper dies, the run ends.
For you if...
- +you like planning traps and defensible dungeon layouts
- +you want to try different factions and keeper types
- +you enjoy controlling minions in tactical battles
Not for you if...
- −you prefer real-time combat to battles resolved in turns
- −you want a campaign without permanent run-ending deaths
