==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.
