Metaverse Keeper PC Review

Sparks Games brings us an exciting top-down indie game called Metaverse Keeper. It’s a dungeon crawler with a touch of roguelike features that will have you playing as a team and switching between characters to take out aliens and clear planets for civilization. Being spark games first release on the steam store, they released a pretty good indie game with some fantastic graphics and the right amount of gameplay to play around with. With the game being a team-based system, Co-op is a go-to mode while playing. If you don’t have anyone to play with, fear not, Metaverse Keeper has online Co-op so you can play with others to ensure you get the best roguelike experience possible.

Storyline

The main story of Metaverse Keeper being a team of four heroes joining forces to take out aliens to clear the planets around you, you’ll find yourself wanting a little more dialogue when it comes to the story. While the game’s gameplay and overall look being spot on, this indie doesn’t draw you into the story as much as you’d think during the beginning scene of the story where you need to read, not hear, the dialogue that brings you to the current day. That being said Metaverse Keeper might not bring you in with just the story, but while playing with ours with the games co-op mode(s), it will make the experience for the story that much better.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Metaverse Keeper may be the first thing that draws you in, next to its graphics. Putting you right into the action, and showing you the ropes of the game in just a few simple steps, this indie game will have you wanting to explore the world trying to find each of the possible weapons you can use to kill every enemy alien in sight. Being in a group of four heroes, Metaverse Keeper does a great job to give the player the right amount of options when it comes to arming yourself with many weapons to choose from with playing.

The amount of perks you can receive during roaming around the planet blowing up and breaking crates to gain more power to take out the final boss of each mission. Co-op mode is an excellent system for players wanting to gain more fun time with friends or just other gamers. Metaverse Keeper does a great job ensuring both parties have fun during the mode. While singleplayer mode may be a go-to for most, you might find yourself later on wanting someone to fight with.

Graphics

The overall cartoony look that Metaverse Keeper gives off is fantastic. Being an indie game, the developers over at Sparks Games did a great job to ensure the gamers eyes aren’t star-struck when it comes to roaming around the planet and destroying whatever is in sight. With a right amount of missions ahead of you during your adventure, you’ll find out pretty quick that the art design for this indie game wasn’t left to the side with the sheer amount of detail that is put into each weapon and map design when going to the next mission.

Sound

While the graphics and gameplay for Metaverse Keeper may be a home run in this indie game, the sounds don’t stand up to pare with them. Being an action point game, you’ll enjoy the simple sound effects that go off while shooting your foes and slashing boxes around the world. But during hack-n-slash games, gamers usually like to have that background sound of music to bring you into the shoes of the character you’re playing as. Metaverse Keeper doesn’t do that for me. The indie comes in short when it comes to the music soundtrack. But in the end, you’ll still enjoy that they put in some effort for the mushy sounds and each of the attacks sounds with the massive list of weapons and perks to choose from.
