## About KeeperRL

KeeperRL is a dungeon-management roguelike with deep strategy and simulation elements. Developed by Electric Succubi and released in 2024, the game tasks players with building and expanding an underground lair while managing minions, faction politics, and resource needs. The procedural generation system ensures each world is unique, keeping every run feeling distinct. Players can directly control their minions in tactical combat encounters, and the game's needs-and-moods system means units have individual wants that drive emergent stories. The game supports modding and runs on Steam Deck, offering substantial gameplay at $19.99. Reviewers describe the simulation as atmospheric, immersive, and challenging, with players praising the reactive nature of the world and the creative freedom in dungeon design. The game holds an 83% positive rating from over 1,300 Steam reviews.
