Stranded on an alien planet, you rely on your dome as shelter from incoming monsters. You control a keeper who digs below it for the resources needed to survive.
Between attacks, drill through underground tunnels, collect resources and gadgets, and carry your haul back to the dome. Decide whether to dig deeper for more or return early to prepare; at the dome, operate its weapons and repel enemies arriving by air and ground.
Spend resources on upgrades for your keeper, drill, and dome defenses. Procedurally generated maps, different keepers, domes, gadgets, modifiers, and game modes vary your runs. Play solo, defend together in co-op for up to four players, or compete in versus play.
