KeeperRL

This game got more time from me than most games, but I can't recommend it. There's a learning curve, which you kind of have to figure out yourself as not everything is explained. It's very grindy but not in a good way like Dwarf Fortress. It feels more tedious somehow... The controls and the way battles play out just sucks sometimes. Looting stuff from battles baddies sucks. Keeping track of equipment and equipping your guys sucks. You'll probably have to play a couple times to figure things out like I did, but when you get to around your 3rd attempt and know how everything works, you'll get very far and see the tedium and you won't want to come back after your first "i know how to play now" run ...

Recommended: No I really wanted to like KeeperRL, but after climbing the initial learning curve, the game quickly started to feel like an exhausting chore rather than a fun, relaxing escape. A few things that ultimately led to me uninstalling: * Misleading UI & Mechanics: The game does a poor job of explaining its own tools. For example, the "Crafting" menu icon looks exactly like a zone brush tile, which led to me accidentally building 14 individual crafting stations instead of designating a single room zone. The vanilla lack of basic features like natural tree regrowth also feels weirdly static, even if mods can fix it. * Menu Overload: The core gameplay relies heavily on dense menu digging, micro-managing individual character sheets, and endless reading. It stays highly mechanical throughout, and if you don't enjoy fighting the interface, the loop doesn't change or get any better later on. * Grating Audio: If you build a functional training or research setup, your magic-using minions will constantly level up. This triggers a repetitive, back-to-back evil cackling/laughing sound effect loop that will drive you up the wall very quickly. If you enjoy highly meticulous, menu-driven management games where you don't mind fighting the UI, there is a deep system here. But if you want a smooth, rewarding dungeon builder to unwind with after a long day, this one might just feel like a second shift at a data entry desk.

I was following the development of this game for so many years. Finally, I thought, it's released an I should try it again. Unfortunately, it still feels like EA game with a bare bones UI, not really friendly controls and not that much of content.

[h1]There is no game exactly like it.[/h1] I found this game excellent and it got me very addicted! KeeperRL occupies a totally unique space in the industry because it makes a fusion that no other developer has tried: it takes the dungeon-building and vision (Dungeon Keeper/War for the Overworld style), adds simplified colony management (Dwarf Fortress style) and ties it all together with map exploration and roguelike combat (where you control the villain in turns to destroy villages and fight enemies of your faction). This triple mix is ​​exclusive to it. I searched and couldn't find another game with these combined mechanics because I wanted to play more games like this, if anyone knows of others, please comment =) FYI: There's so much untapped potential in this niche; the creator could add more activities to the map, random encounters, and events...lots of things.

Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress had a baby and now it has grown up.

For me this game is Towns meets Dungeon Keeper. I enjoy the ability to dig out and build rudimentary buildings and control the minions or let them roam on their own.
