After every wave is an ad. Base healing doesn’t scale with base health and uses a resource that can be scarce. ### 2/5 — An inferior clone *2025-06-20* This game is a shameless copy of the game Dome Keeper, only much worse and filled with watch-to-win ads. The controls are worse, the upgrades are worse, the resource balance is worse (you run out of use for all but one resource very quickly), the time balance is worse (hardly any time to mine between waves), the content is drastically less, hitbox on the tiny enemies is so bad they literally can’t be killed, and you can get free resources by watching ads. It’s terrible. Go buy the real thing. ### 1/5 — Wave one is impossible *2025-01-04, version 0.6.6* I don’t know how to play and I can’t even be with one live one person because there’s too many Did not get this, please ### 3/5 — Come on you can do better *2024-12-10* Why is their no way to know if the monsters are coming unless they are already there it’s weird at least make a timer for it and the dome is a spaceship like come on and I get the idea but nevertheless it’s a good and a terrible game sorry it’s my onsite opinion it’s just that one felling that is COME ON YOU CAN DO BETTER ### 1/5 — Might have been cool. Too many ads. *2024-11-24* I’m happy to pay for ad-free IAP but there were just *so many* ads that I couldn’t even get a good feel for the game. When I clicked “no thanks” on the 2x booster ad and it launched one anyway, that was the last straw for me. Into the bin it goes! ### 3/5 — To many add or none *2024-10-03, version 0.5.6* If you get lucky you can get no adds otherwise there is add even if you supposed to have none ### 1/5 — Constant ads now *2024-09-22, version 0.5.6* Haven’t played it for sometime, but it’s now a horrible experience, I do not recommend. Will uninstall and never try it again. ### 1/5 — 0 stars *2024-07-24, version 0.5.5* I would like to inform you that the game doesn’t work and all that I did was turn off the Wi-Fi and turn it back on. Now I can’t play it. P.s. was this supposed to happen? ### 1/5 — Ripoff Copy *2024-06-02, version 0.5.5* This is a direct ripoff of Dome Keeper on Steam (for computer). This game isn't even pretending to be it's own thing. It's not that hard to change it up a little, but they copied almost every part of the design exactly. Be original. ### 3/5 — Good game, a little bit buggy *2024-05-23, version 0.5.5* Whatever your format is for the end of a wave does not work. I’m constantly being kicked out of the laser because “I’ve made it through the wave” and have to get back in because there are more enemies. ### 2/5 — Laser attacks enemies in back instead of the one it's hitting *2024-04-29* Just as the description says, if there are multiple enemies in a row, such as one attacking the base and another just spawned in on the same side, shooting the laser at the one attacking the base damages and stuns the furthest enemy from the base instead of the closest despite the laser hitting the close enemy. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the feedback. We are working on a new update where we plan to add new monsters, various difficulty levels, and a uniquely generated mine shaft before each new attempt. We hope you'll enjoy this update. Stay tuned for updates in the game! ### 1/5 — Adverts. Adverts. Adverts *2024-04-17, version 0.5.5* Why do game developers not care about how a came should be played. Its just adverts. No instructions, a tiny amount of game play the. Adverts. Deleted it after 5 minutes. ### 1/5 — I tried playing this game so you don’t have to! *2024-03-24, version 0.5.5* This game is just a cheap copy of Dome Keeper (PC game) ### 1/5 — Broken ripoff copy *2024-03-13, version 0.5.5* Yeah this game is just broken and has zero unique elements and is just a ripoff of the actual game that came out ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — COPIED SO COPIED *2026-06-29, version 0.6.6* Dome keeper is so much better and the tutorial was hard. (for me at least.) it just a complete copy of a good game. Btw dome keeper is free with gamepass on Xbox. ### 1/5 — Really disappointed. *2026-01-27* I liked the game enough to buy the no ads option but will sadly be requesting a refund. The game is broken. While you’re in the middle of fighting monsters, it says wave is complete and the timer for the next wave starts while you’re still fighting monsters leaving you no time to go and mine. The game could have been fun but that flaw makes the game unplayable. ### 1/5 — Plagiarism *2026-01-16, version 0.6.6* Direct ripoff from the indie game domekeeper. I sent an email to the original devs of this game reporting it. Hopefully they take legal action. ### 1/5 — Ok *2025-11-11, version 0.6.6* Never mind ### 1/5 — Literally unplayable past first stage *2025-10-08* The first chapter is fine. Fun if you like ads. The second chapter the objective is outside of the playable area so you can’t even proceed. Even after buying every upgrade, destroying every block, nothing changes. Terrible rip off of another game. Least the developer could have done is make it playable. ### 1/5 — Is this a ripoff of Dome Keeper *2025-04-14, version 0.6.6* ??? ### 1/5 — Une daube sans nom *2025-04-13* Aucun équilibrage, des pubs à répétition (même si on décline la pub qui multiplie les récompenses). Bref un jeu copié sur dôme keeper sans la réflexion qui va autour. Une honte pour le store. ### 1/5 — I want a refund *2025-02-08* I paid $4.99 for the app to not have adds, and it would’ve been worth it if there was any solution whatsoever for the second chapter. I can’t advance at all, the game didn’t give me goals to achieve this round, so I’ve been through some 40 waves of monsters every 2 minutes and can’t figure out what to do. There’s not even an online tutorial to guide me if I am doing something wrong. Please refund me ### 1/5 — Rip off *2025-01-20, version 0.6.6* Hi do not get this game it is a rip off and I can’t kill the monsters it impossible and it’s way better on stem so get a stem deck ### 1/5 — App is trash. *2025-01-09* This is garbage. It’s so add infested you can barely even play the game. There’s no way to see your base hp. The gun moves ultra slow. It needs 100 qol changes to even make this playable. If you want a fun game similar to this play that one game on steam. Way better. This app is trash and it’s only made so the creator can make some money in add revenue. They didn’t even want to give you a playable game. Don’t waste your time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good Game *2025-06-03, version 0.6.6* Game should be renamed to drone guardian instead of dome guardian, because you are guarding a drone not a dome. ### 5/5 — Legendary+ *2025-04-18* Legendary+ it is very legendary. The game is super good. I love the part where you can mine upgrade things and more customize and more ### 5/5 — Second best game ever *2024-06-08, version 0.5.5* Buy it ### 5/5 — Nice! *2023-10-21* Update the game the app icon same in characters cute robot remove adds tnx. ### 5/5 — Unique and quirky *2023-08-13* Still figuring it out but so far so interesting! Definitely a good paced fun game ### 5/5 — What do the ruins do? *2023-08-08* It's a great game, I have almost everything unlocked so far. Wish there was an option to buy add free, but that's not the point of this. Early in the game I found some weird ruins with a strange resource block in them, brought it to the drop off portal but nothing happened. I've fully excavated the symbol but nothing happened there either, tried bringing each block type to the box in the middle of the ruins and nothing. Is it not implemented yet, or am I missing something? ### 5/5 — Good but come on *2023-07-17* ok I like the game it is just like dome keeper but what is the purple stuff yellow and red and pls add drill Bert , I hope you read this and I like the game a lot a lot ### 5/5 — 🏃‍♂️🚷 *2023-06-30* I really enjoyed this game! It’s easy to learn and whenever I get the chance after work I get in an hour or two of this game! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the high rating and feedback! Good luck in the game! :) ### 4/5 — Хотелось бы 2D *2025-02-28* Добавьте пожалуйста 2D версию ### 4/5 — Decent *2024-07-24, version 0.5.5* I think it’s good not a lot too do --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
