    [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32732116-IndieGems/]Follow our curator page: IndieGems if you like and want to see more reviews like this one. Metaverse Keeper is a fairly fun dungeon-crawling roguelite in Early Access right now. It has some good ideas and the design of the game is great. Some features definitely need to be improved with further development to increase this title's longevity. Currently the build has a decent amount of content, lots of upgrades available, and 4…

    UPDATE 4/15: DO NOT worry about the "Mixed" review on Steam right now. It's a huge salty group negatively review bombing the game. I'll never understand. To keep it simple, Metaverse Keeper is a roguelike game very similar to games like The Binding of Isaac and Enter The Gungeon. You can expect to be doing multiple runs to traverse a dungeon and hopefully getting further and further each time. It’s a top down view where you explore rooms, defeat enemies, and upgrade your load out. There are 4…

    ABANDONWARE This game will never leave early access. Last update was in 2020 (ok there was a small bugfix in early 2021). I'm really getting sick of games with ton of potential getting abandoned by devs. The game was really fun and had some the binding of Isaac online multiplayer potential but now it's all ruined. The multiplayer works by connecting to an external server and for a long while it's been laggy and buggy. Also no, the game is not done. It's still buggy and devs themselves said…

    This is a nice looking game, the weapons & enemies are well designed and fun to interact with, but it's *very* grindy. You only get the meta-currency you need for long-term upgrades when you beat a boss (with occasional minor exceptions) but your best bet to beat a boss is to get some upgrades... you can play through a whole world only to be killed by the boss at the end and having nothing to show for your efforts. There are some upgrades that help you get more of the meta-resources, but these…

    VERY FUN! The art style is adorable, the gameplay is tight and fun ~ This is a roguelite through and through :3 you start off with two characters ( with their own stats, starter weps and special dodge moves ) And you can unlock more under certain conditions. You also have a monumental skill tree that you can unlock with cassette tapes you find in runs, there's also another tree that starts you off with things, such as more health, more gold, more skill points. You go through randomized…

    I've played this game both by myself and with my wife. We had alot of fun, and the game has alot of replay value in it. It takes a while to unlock everything in the game(upgrades) and there are a couple of extra characters to choose from, two of which you unlock through medium difficulty task done on the fly. Although I love this game, and would buy it again, or buy a part 2.....it's community is dead, and you have ZERO hope of finding someone else to play with. If you don't have a friend that…

    I'm going to keep it short and simple. The game is grind. There are so many things to unlock, and they all take so long. Strike one for me. Strike two, and where I stop, is that the game expects you to dodge the enemies. That's fine. The enemies are well telegraphed. But.... your dodge has a cool down. And if you dodge 2 enemies and the third one is about to hit you, well... yeah. Removing the artificial difficulty and dodge cool downs would keep me playing to get better. There are more…

    Only thing I don't like is that you can't really do Mouse/Keyboard from what I have seen. I notice you can do keyboard but nothing with mouse. So ofc I went to the xbox controller which works just fine. Good game, need to add more in lines of the chips. I am not sure how deep they go but it feels there should be more variety from the start. *Maybe I havn't unlocked some. Good game though totally fun to do coop with some buddies.

    not sure if it's fair to downvote this game as it's super fun, or at least it would be if it didn't lag so much. i know it's an issue related to lack of servers rather than the game but it kinda sucks that my friends and i are unable to play without at least a full second or so of delay. you might enjoy this if you don't lag playing on asian servers but if you're from OCE you're probably gonna have a bad time. hopefully an OCE server will eventually be released, otherwise i won't be spending…

    Great little game. Glad it popped up on my radar. Visual style reminds me of Earthbound, gameplay is a bit of a less brutal Binding of Isaac. Lots of perks to unlock, solid replayablity, solid online/ offline multiplayer. Pick it up!

    I really wanted to enjoy this game, but while using a controller, the right stick doesn't work, and the auto-targeting option in the options menu doesn't work all the time. This means that during a boss fight, I will target minions much of the time instead of the boss. This isn't a big deal until the screen is full of mobs, even in normal rooms. I was really hoping the right-stick issue had been resolved, but it seems it had not. So, for folks like me who do best with the controller,…

    It's a fun and decent rogue-lite but I really can't recommend a game that so blatantly decides whether the player wins or not. The game follows the relatively basic rogue-lite formula trend but manages to have enough solid variety to the content and unlocks that it still somewhat feels like its own experience. The art is very detailed but the world building is weak and nonsensical, the characters not having arms doesn't feel like an artistic choice so much as a design convenience. The…

    Look, this game is okay but don't look for a completed game with this. Nor expect an actual early access type game. The devs have gone silent for over a year with any major patches and the last small patch was July 23 2021. If you have some friends and you've played all the co-op rougelite/likes that are more well known, then go ahead and play it. They had some really interesting ideas and the style is nice. I just wish they kept moving forward with it :( If anything does change I'll…

    Don't let the "Mixed" review score fool you - Metaverse Keeper provides a ton of excellent content for your money. Does it suck that it's been a while since the developers have released an update? Definitely. When you throw money at an Early Access title, you hope that the developers will keep up with their end of the bargain. That said, the current version of Metaverse Keeper feels like a complete game. I've sunk 15-plus hours into this game, and I still feel there are more things to unlock,…

Nearest server was Asia at 200 ping; and it takes a solid second for any action to begin. Makes the game unplayable. Just a warning to other Australians looking to buy this game to play online with friends, it's impossible to play.

    One part Binding of Isaac. Two parts Enter the Gungeon. All parts fun. The multiplayer also feels fair and balanced toward co-op while still making you choose who gets certain upgrades. The free remoteplay is nice too, though glitchy at times. For anyone who likes games of this ilk, it's a great addition to the genre.

    It feels bad to play this game, clunky controls, slow movement speed out the bat, not keyboard and mouse friendly. It feels as if it was made in flash (which isnt necessarily a bad thing)... Like it's a baby version of isaac or gungeon. the camera seems like its REALLY zoomed in for no reason, feels like it was designed for console or phone, generally feels like it was purely made as a cash grab. A lot of actions in game feel bad to do, like using any bomb or item.

    A decent rogue-like game that doesn't really stand out. Is the game bad? No. Is it great? Nope. Needs a lot of polishing before it can be considered great. Concept is okay. Story is non existent. Art style is meh. Controls are atrocious. It's fun for a bit but it wont leave a long lasting impression like any of the other great titles in the same category. I would not recommend paying about $8 for it.

    It's good, but not as good as Son Of A Witch. Plenty of good game play. The translation from Asian to American is pretty bad, so there is some confusion around what a lot of items do, so there's plenty of trial and error. Also the difference in difficulty between normal and hard is astronomical. Normal is too easy and hard is impossible. They need a difficulty level in between those 2.

    In this video I take a look at Metaverse Keeper an RPG rogue-like dungeon crawler. This game is very upbeat with fun cute graphics and lively game play. I really enjoyed playing it but it is a little on the brutal side. Don't approach it with a charge attitude, tactics will win the day with this one I think. I could have lost half my day with an "I can do it" attitude but I had other games to look at unfortunately so I never got to complete the level I KNEW I could finish. ;) There are a lot…

    Super fun, super casual, SUPER addictive. Co-op or solo are both viable. I love the colorful graphics and the music. However, it's the frantic gameplay, and the way the difficulty ramps up in a way that doesn't just ground you into dust 30 seconds into your first play though. It's still early access, and a lot of the translations still need to be polished/fixed. Still, this game is more than worth your time and your money.

There's much love put into Metaverse: you can experience it through unique gameplay ideas, graphics and internal mechanics that just makes you smile. After few hours of intense play, experience may wear-off a bit due to repeating pattern and lack of novelty. But, it's Early Access Game -- it should be less of a problem as development progresses.

    Solidly fun game, solo or with pals! I've put in many hours and there's many more to go. (Randomly generated levels FTW!) Love the variability, the unique weapons, zazzy VFX, and art. Sometimes the weapon or chip descriptions are difficult to understand, which of course is frustrating when you're making selections and trying to survive, but that's a small hitch to a great game.

To be clear, most of the bugs I encountered were playing co-op, mostly issues with my friend being blocked out of a room I entered, forcing us to restart. I give it 5 metaverses
