Tiny keep is a top down dungeon escape game, where the action is proceedurally generated so no two runs are the same, permadeath adds an extra layer of difficulty because although you can begin on later floors when you unlock them you will lose any power-ups and advantages you may have earnt on previous floors.
This leads to a lot of playtime attempting to get good enough powerups to increase your survivability for later. The floors have thier own elements secrets and traps that makes each one unique and different enough that you keep coming back for more and have to implement strategies specific for each floor and ready for the upcoming challenges.
I can guarantee you will get many hours of gameplay out of this game if you like what you see and want a challenge that isn’t impossible but also isn’t a cakewalk. There are many secrets and even a new game + mode which I have yet to even unlock, so there is plenty to discover beyond the basic escape attempt and a number of achievements to obtain whilst the challenge inevitibly ramps up every floor you complete, with more difficult enemies coming at you in even greater numbers it can be a little daunting if you don’t have a strategy to take them on and survive.
I will be continuing how to escape series as I find the game a lot of fun and want to succeed in escaping, and I like how the developers included permission in the title screen itself which is definately something I think more devs should do, if not in the title at least on a noticable tile within the game itself on the options when they actively want people to post lets play video’s.
V1.3 has made the game far easier than in my review video for those who thought the game seemed a little challenging, and although there are 20 unlockable floors you may miss these on your first playthrough if you don’t perform the correct action when you catch up with maggie after floor 8, don’t put the game down at this point there is still plenty more to unlock and secrets to be revealed and achieved including magic and replacement swords. I will post a special video revealing how to continue past this once I have returned to this point in my main adventure and created the floor guides up to this point with the correct features in place to be able to obtain full victory, wether you want to watch or want to experiment and discover things for yourself don’t assume just because you escaped the tiny keep you were victorious, there are still secrets to be discovered that you will regrett not going back for.
