The Dungeon Company is hiring again—but this time, job security depends entirely on how well you can defend your dungeon. Infamous Keepers, a newly revealed tower defense roguelite from Goblinz Studio, brings players back into the darkly comedic world first introduced in Legend of Keepers. The game is scheduled to launch on PC via Steam in Q1 2027.
In Infamous Keepers, players take on the role of a newly appointed Dungeon Keeper responsible for protecting their domain from relentless waves of invading heroes. But this isn’t just about placing traps and watching chaos unfold. Each encounter demands careful planning, quick thinking, and the ability to adapt when things inevitably go wrong.
The premise begins with a crisis inside the Dungeon Company itself. Following massive layoffs, the magical portals connecting dungeons have been shut down, leaving Keepers isolated and forced to fend for themselves. With management watching closely, your performance will determine whether you remain employed—or get replaced by someone more competent. If a group of heroes manages to push through your dungeon defenses, your career as a Keeper may come to an abrupt end.
Gameplay blends classic tower defense mechanics with roguelite progression systems. Players will strategically place traps and towers throughout their dungeon corridors, building layered defenses designed to stop incoming heroes in their tracks. However, traps alone won’t always be enough. Managing your monstrous workforce becomes just as important, as employees can be deployed to slow down enemies or assigned to enhance defensive structures.
Once each assault ends, the strategic layer expands further. Players will recruit new monsters, unlock upgrades, trade resources, and sometimes make morally questionable management decisions in pursuit of rare advantages. Each run introduces new variables, including random events and evolving enemy rosters, ensuring no two dungeon defense scenarios unfold the same way.
Of course, even the best plans can fall apart. When invaders push deeper into the dungeon, Keepers themselves may have to step in. By casting powerful spells and abilities, players can personally eliminate surviving heroes and protect the dungeon’s core. Over time, Keepers grow stronger, unlocking new abilities and refining their strategy to transform their dungeon into an efficient, hero-crushing machine.
Combining tactical depth, roguelite replayability, and the dark humor fans loved in Legend of Keepers, Infamous Keepers aims to deliver a fresh take on dungeon management where every decision carries weight—and every mistake might be your final performance review.
Players interested in defending their own dungeon can wishlist Infamous Keepers on Steam now ahead of its planned 2027 release.
