This game is currently in the Humble Choice for July 2022, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before August 2nd, 2022, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
Be a dungeon master, kind of.
Legend of Keepers involves the player being employed at Dungeon Company and having to hire minions, level them up, and deploy them against invading adventurers. The idea of working at a dungeon company doesn’t come through on the experience. Though, I do understand the concept.
The issue is how mundane the experience is. After an hour I felt like I understood what the game was trying to do and just didn’t feel like I wanted to keep playing. The concept of being a dungeon master doesn’t feel new or fresh here. But what’s worse is you’re just selecting monsters, and not designing a dungeon. Each room is pre-laid out for what will appear there, so you have limited agency. There are choices to be made, but you’re still limited in what you can choose.
Pick this up if you want to be a dungeon master, or as the first character is titled Slaveholder. Ooh, boy. But this is a grindy experience, and I find this hard to recommend. I didn’t even finish my first mission in the game in that hour, but I also don’t feel a compelling reason to return. Maybe this one isn’t for me.
Also, there are three playable characters, with three more locked behind DLC which feels a bit greedy. But the game itself did enough to turn me off, so this is a minor footnote.
