Dome Keeper

Dome Keeper is a tower defense game with two modes: (1) mining resources on an alien world, and (2) defending your space dome from waves of monster attacks.

I completed the game in 54 hours, during which time I beat all possible game modes and obtained all the Steam achievements.

THE GOOD

• It was fun to unlock all the different gadgets and game modes.
• I was able to play coop mode with my partner. She did most of the mining while I did most of the fighting.
• Both the mining and the fighting are simple enough to learn easily but detailed enough to be interesting and engaging.

THE BAD

• The gadgets are generally poorly explained and many of them I failed to ever really understand how to use well. This doesn't matter too much since there are plenty of good gadgets.

THE UGLY

• There's some kind of performance issue that causes the game to skip a beat every time you look at upgrades.
• On a huge map with lots of assets, I noticed significant performance degredation.
