## What is Legend of Keepers?

Have you ever wanted to become the villain of a story? 
Legend of Keepers is a mix between rogue-lite and dungeon management, where you play as a dungeon manager hiring monsters and building traps to defeat the heroes coming for your gold. Well, the Dungeons Company is looking for its new Boss and needs you to protect their treasures! You have to experience every company’s struggles in this fantasy workspace simulation, from sick leaves to strikes, and manage your team to run the most impenetrable dungeon! 
In this "reverse-Darkest Dungeon", climb the corporate ladder and optimize your strategy to become the most fearsome (and, perhaps, respected) boss in dungeon history!

Main Features

- Deal with the trials of corporate life: mix and match your roster of bloodthirsty employees to stay on top of the dungeon business
- Don’t play nice for once: be the bad guy and make those smug heroes pay with your mischievous strategies

- Being bad never looked this good: see your enemies perish in drop-dead gorgeous animations. Watch out for stains! 
- Diversify your management styles:  Play as 3 dungeon masters - each with their own abilities and recruits - through various campaigns

### 5/5 — Kurzweilig und spaßig

*2026-05-19*

Ein tolles Strategiespiel im Fantasy-Pixelgewand. Es sieht gut aus und spielt sich nach einer wirklich kurzen Eingewöhnungszeit sehr schön. Wer Spiele wie Darkest Dungeon kennt, wird Legend of Keepers lieben.

### 1/5 — Fun until defeated. Don’t buy this.

*2025-05-15*

This was good until I got defeated and lost all of my progress and upgrades. 1 star for that. Don’t waste your money.

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm sorry to hear that, I'll pass your feedback on to the team!

### 3/5 — Game breaking bug but still fun sometimes

*2025-04-26*

The game itself is very fun and well designed. However on IOS the game constantly corrupts its own save. You’ll play a few times and unlock a whole new area only to have to restart everything all over again because it will not load the save. It just keeps trying to load forever. You cannot even have multiple saves just in case. The game limits you to one save, which you cannot load. You are forced to restart the game from the very first stage. This is fine for awhile because the game is very fun. But after the fourth or fifth time it gets really irritating. I cannot recommend this game due to this bug and will likely avoid their games in the future. Searching online revealed this is a known problem and it has yet to be addressed.

**Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear that you faced problem in the game. For any issue, please consider reaching out through the in-game chat and we'll do our very best to help!

### 2/5 — Скучно

*2025-04-03*

Только раскачаешь персонажей, только залутаешь артефакты - уровень пройден. Следующий опять начинаешь за бомжей, без всего. Смысл?!?! Это же супер уныло, должна быть хоть какая-то прогрессия…2 звезды, не более. Был бы переход монстров на следующий уровень, можно было бы поставить 4 звезды, но увы…начните новую игру делать…с нуля.

**Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the game. We hope you'll like our other games!

### 5/5 — The Best Deckbuilding High Quality game so far!!

*2025-03-20*

I am so satisfied making strategies every time playing this game. I wish them make more game like this!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

### 5/5 — High quality port

*2025-02-16*

Great game if you enjoy collecting little pixel dudes and pit fighting them. Darkest dungeon-esque, the game tasks the player with assembling a corporate band of dungeon-dwelling hero slayers. Very affordable add-ons here feature more content. I never experienced my phone overheating either (on my older phone no less). I’m not denying the issues exist, but mine only felt a few degrees above room temp. Overall, it’s a great game that does eventually get a bit repetitive (your mileage will vary), but this is a good thing: There’s merely too much content.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

### 1/5 — Греет батарею

*2024-07-10*

Очень интересная игра, однозначно 5+
Но!! Телефон НАГРЕВАЕТСЯ очень сильно, iPhone 15 Pro, так должно быть?

Исправлю оценку, если будет ответ. Иначе буду оформлять возврат средств, спасибо

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm sorry to hear that, I'll pass your feedback on to the team!

### 4/5 — DLC

*2024-06-14*

DLCが購入出来ません。 (you must be signed-in.と表示されます)

6/14追記
回答のおかげで購入出来ました。
ゲームは難しいですが、色々考えながら配置するのが面白いです。

**Developer response:** Hi, we're working on this issue ! Make sure you're connected to your Game Center account and have a steady connection.

### 5/5 — Unglaublich gut

*2024-04-16*

Ich habe das Spiel von einem Freund empfohlen bekommen. Ich war total begeistert! Schon lange habe ich ein gutes Dungeon-Master Spiel gesucht, und hiermit gefunden. Echt underrated. Ich war erst wegen den DLCs abgeschreckt, aber die sind so umfangreich und gut gemacht, dass ich sie mir auch holen musste. 

Ich hoffe, es kommt noch mehr content raus. Gute Arbeit!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review, we’re really glad you like the game!

### 2/5 — 15 Pro Max - game runs hot, 1% battery drain per minute

*2024-03-30*

Game would be a solid 4 stars if it didn’t kill my battery and make my phone hot.  Almost bought the DLC package after ten minutes of playing the game.  I‘m glad I waited.  Don’t think I’ll waste any more time on this unless this issue gets addressed.

**Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the game.
We hope you'll like our other games!
