How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Dome Keeper
Beneath a dome besieged by alien monsters, you dig for resources with a timer ticking and head back in time to fend off the wave. You upgrade your dome and drill until you find the relic and haul it home for the final wave.
