April 2026

I loved this game up until I started repeatedly experiencing PowerPoint syndrome while playing the Endless mode in Prestige. The frame rate drops severely during battle after around wave 35 and it becomes unplayable. I love that the devs keep updating the game with more content, but please, do some optimizations. I don't need a new dome or keeper, I just need the game to be playable. Losing a great run because it turned into a presentation is one of the worst experiences in a game. Another complaint I have (which is rather minor compared to the poor optimization) is that sometimes the color palettes don't help at all. On some of the paler colored worlds, I can hear a Diver coming, but there's very little contrast between the warning particles/animation and the world's color background, and I'm left guessing which side the Diver is going to come from. Same goes for the aiming lines for the Artillery dome, sometimes it's hard to see where I'm aiming when the contrast between the line and the background is low. Maybe it's my aging vision, or maybe the colors look too pale, or maybe it's the low frame rate when there are so many monsters on the screen. Most likely it's all of those things combined. My vision isn't going to change, but I really do think an in-game option to adjust color contrast would be very welcome by many. Or at least stroke outlines. The devs were diligent and caring enough to include a few accessibility options, so why not look into this as well? Other than that, the game is fun. Testing new builds for Prestige is fun. The challenges are fun (need more of those!) and the music fits perfectly. It just needs optimization. Even thematically the game is interesting. I would write an essay on how it could be interpreted to be about ecocide and indigenous resistance, and how the dome keeper is actually the villain, but that's not the focal point of my review.

Dome Keeper is one of those games that pulled me in immediately. It genuinely feels like it was made for the Steam Deck. I’m playing it on a Steam Deck OLED in docked mode on an external Asus ZenScreen 1080p OLED Screen at stable 60 FPS. In this setup the game runs flawlessly, looks razor sharp, and remains perfectly readable at all times. The visuals don’t reinvent the wheel, but they are clean, intentional, and highly functional. From the main menu to the in-game UI, the information flow is excellent. Everything is easy to read, nothing feels cluttered, and there are no unnecessary distractions. At its core, Dome Keeper is easy to describe: Mining game meets tower defense. You land on an alien planet with your dome. Mine resources, manage them wisely, buy upgrades, and defend your dome against incoming waves. That’s the gameplay loop - and it works surprisingly well. The three resources - water, iron, and cobalt - are not explained in depth. At first this feels slightly cryptic, but it actually fits the game’s sense of discovery. It doesn’t hold your hand, and that works in its favor. I mostly play Relic mode and choose between the four map sizes, from small to huge. Thanks to procedurally generated maps, each run feels unpredictable. Even though you’re technically doing the same thing every time, Dome Keeper does an excellent job of hiding repetition. The difficulty is fairly scalable, making it accessible for newcomers while still offering a challenge for experienced roguelike players. Different domes, gadgets, and upgrade paths provide enough variety to keep things interesting. The soundtrack is atmospheric and slightly melancholic. Despite attack waves and time pressure, the game creates an almost meditative mood. That contrast is what makes it special: it’s essentially stress management - yet it feels surprisingly relaxing. After five hours of playtime, I’m genuinely impressed. If you enjoy roguelikes, chances are very high that you’ll enjoy Dome Keeper as well. Clear recommendation.

Great chill game, rather you're looking for a challenge, or to just vibe and dig. Has quick maps for short sessions, and huge ones that you can easily spend an hour digging out. It's easy to unlock pretty much everything, in fact, I think it's too easy. The progression is locked mostly to how much you play, not a progress path like story or challenges. That being said, I don't think there is any story, and the challenge mode is limited, only giving a few meaningful rewards. All this being said, once I played the game enough to unlock everything, I found myself with no motivation to keep playing. Nothing to work towards, no more unlockables, no story to progress to see the end of, just simply playing the game for the sake of it. I do like it, and recommend it to people, just bought another copy as a gift. I'm looking forward to the multi-player, as having a team-mate, or pvp would give more new experiences to the game. I hope someday they add a story mode, and maybe put more progression locked behind progressive playing, not just completing sessions.

With over 600 hours on record, this is my most played game in history. I think it's safe to say I liked it.

Sept. 2025

Great comfy game for when you are on the go. IDEAL game for the Steam Deck. If it had a few more characters or more diverse domes it would be 10/10. As it stands 2 characters and 4 domes and 4 gadgets it a bit lacking.
