"Truth be told, I never was the biggest dungeon crawler fan until the DS. I remember reading a review for a certain dungeon crawler on a website and they basically said they couldn’t achieve anything beyond 20% completion, because it was “too hard.” For some reason, that motivated me to try this game out and play it, and I ended up really enjoying it. Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain was that game, and while tough, really made me a fan of the dungeon crawler genre. After playing gems like Orcs and Elves and Etrain Odyssey, I was a full-blown fan of the genre. When I saw a first-person dungeon crawler hitting the eShop, I was really looking forward to it and had high hopes. The Keep has some strong points, but ultimately, has a few glaring issues that hurt the experience."
Cinemax is proud to announce that The Keep, an old-school first person dungeon crawler with real-time combat for PC is set to be released on Steam for $14.99 in the US on and for € 14.99 in Europe on March 16, 2017.
Dylan Chaundy from Brash Games reviews the 3DS' old-school dungeon-crawler The Keep.
"This Nintendo 3DS eShop RPG is an old-school dungeon crawler that delights and frustrates.
Despite the genre’s age, dungeon crawlers are still popular in this day and age, mostly thanks to games like Etrian Odyssey. However, not all dungeon crawlers are as friendly, especially games like Dungeon Master that focused more on menus and item organization. The Keep, a new Nintendo 3DS eShop game, is more like Dungeon Master and pushes that style as far as it can."
