About Dome Keeper
Dome Keeper is a roguelike action‑mining game where you protect a dome from waves of alien monsters. Between attacks you dig tunnels, collect resources and relics, and bring them back to upgrade your equipment and dome defenses. Each run generates a new map filled with caves, gadgets and enemy types, demanding quick decisions about digging deeper or returning to fortify the dome.
The game offers solo play, four‑player co‑op and several PvP modes, all supporting full controller input and cross‑platform multiplayer. Customisation includes two keeper characters, four domes, primary and secondary gadgets, run modifiers and difficulty settings, letting you shape a playstyle that balances mining and combat.
01 / THE GUIDE
Procedurally Generated Maps
Every run creates a unique map with varied caves, resources and enemy spawn points. This randomness means each mining expedition feels fresh, requiring you to adapt your tunnel layout on the fly.
The map’s layout influences how quickly you can return to the dome before the next monster wave, making route planning a key part of survival.
- Scout ahead early to locate high‑value relics before the first wave arrives.
- Leave a clear path back to the dome to avoid getting trapped by enemies.

Keeper Types and Customisation
Players can choose from two distinct keeper types, each paired with four dome options and a selection of primary gadgets. These choices affect drilling speed, weapon handling and overall strategy.
Secondary gadgets and run modifiers further tailor the experience, letting you focus on mining efficiency or combat strength.
- Experiment with different keeper‑gadget combos to find a balance that suits your playstyle.
- Adjust run modifiers to increase challenge and reward potential.

Combat and Dome Defenses
The dome is equipped with powerful weaponry that you must operate during monster waves. Enemies approach by air or ground, each with unique attack patterns.
Upgrading the dome’s defenses, repairing damage and managing weapon cooldowns are essential to survive increasingly relentless attacks.
- Prioritise upgrades that improve weapon cooldowns for faster response to waves.
- Repair the dome between waves to avoid cumulative damage.

Multiplayer and PvP Modes
Dome Keeper supports four‑player co‑op where teammates share resources and defend a common dome. It also offers PvP battles to see who can survive longest or gather the most resources.
All multiplayer options work online, via LAN, or through shared/split‑screen, and the game includes cross‑platform support.
- Coordinate digging routes in co‑op to avoid overlapping tunnels.
- In PvP, focus on rapid resource delivery while disrupting opponents.
