KeeperRL is a game that stands out for its unique blend of Realtime Strategy and Rogue-like gameplay. In this game, players assume the role of a Keeper, controlling their minions in an RTS style while also engaging in turn-based Rogue-like combat against enemy creatures and invaders. The game offers a deep and addictive experience, although the combination of these two genres may take some time to master.
 
−
 
−
Permadeath for both minions and the Keeper character is a crucial feature of the game, making it imperative for players to exercise caution when sending their forces into danger. Success in KeeperRL requires players to strike a balance between the RTS and Rogue-like aspects of the game. This involves developing technology, recruiting and training minions, and equipping them with the best gear for battles.
 
−
 
−
Strategic thinking is essential to triumph over tough opponents in KeeperRL. Players must think creatively and use all available tools to overcome challenges, including using a combination of ranged and melee units, and considering army composition carefully. Sometimes, a small elite team may be more effective than a large army, particularly when facing well-defended fortifications or ambush points.
