TouchArcade Game of the Week: ‘Ocean Keeper’

TouchArcade Rating: A masterful blend of distinct gameplay styles! Ocean Keeper seamlessly integrates side-scrolling mining with top-down mech combat, creating a compelling and endlessly replayable experience. Think Blaster Master meets Dave the Diver, but underwater!

You've crash-landed on an alien aquatic planet in your powerful mech. Your mission: delve into underwater caverns to mine resources before waves of hostile creatures attack. The side-scrolling mining segments involve excavating rocks for resources and artifacts, earning you in-game currency. Once the enemies arrive, the perspective shifts to a top-down twin-stick shooter, where you defend your base against increasingly challenging waves of bizarre sea monsters.

Earned resources fuel upgrades for both your mining equipment and your mech, branching skill trees offering diverse customization options. The roguelike nature means death resets your run's progress, but persistent unlocks between runs ensure steady advancement. Expect varied overworld and cave layouts for each playthrough.

While the initial stages might feel slow, and early runs challenging, persevere! As you unlock upgrades and refine your skills, Ocean Keeper transforms into a thrilling, strategic experience. Experimenting with weapon and upgrade synergies is a core element of the game's enduring appeal. Initially uncertain, I found myself captivated by Ocean Keeper's addictive gameplay loop once it hit its stride.
