NameMotherload rings a bell? It was a flash game in which the player assumed control of an iron contraption equipped with a drill. The idea was simple - dig deeper and deeper tunnels, gather minerals and deliver them to a surface shop before the fuel runs out. Cash earned we spend on upgrades, allowing you to dig even deeper. In short , Dome Keeper is the spiritual heir to this simple yet insanely fun production .
The core of the game remained intact - we are forced to dig deeper and deeper into the ground to obtain valuable resources, and then invest them in the development of the hero's mining abilities . Moreover, we upgrade the titular dome, equipping it with both defensive and offensive modules. I thought we were underground in this game? These will find use soon, as the dome is attacked from time to time by various space creatures, and the player must defend it at all costs - using manual and automatic defense systems. The idea is simple but insanely addictive.
