KeeperRL

About the game

KeeperRL is a dungeon building strategy game with roguelike elements. There is a commercial version with non-free assets, and a gratis version, which is functionally the same, but with only ASCII-style graphics (which is under a free license). Only the ASCII version is a completely libre game.

==Gameplay== As a Keeper, players must manage their dungeon and minions in an RTS style while engaging in turn-based combat during invasions or emergency situations. The game features permadeath, so players must exercise caution when sending their forces into danger. To succeed, players must balance the RTS and Roguelike aspects of the game, develop technology, recruit and train minions, and equip them with the best gear for battles.

Strategic thinking is required for players to overcome tough opponents in KeeperRL. They must use the available tools to overcome challenges, such as utilizing the roguelike mechanics available during combat or carefully considering army composition. KeeperRL offers a variety of features, including dungeon creation, research, resource management, invasion and defense strategies, immigration systems, and faction management. The game also includes a day/night cycle, which affects gameplay mechanics.
