Legend of Keepers: Career of a Dungeon Manager is a 2021 dungeon management game developed and published by Goblinz Studio for Windows, Linux, MacOS, and Nintendo Switch.
Players are an employee of a company that runs dungeons. To defend against raiding adventurers, they are put in charge of recruiting monsters and placing traps. Players control the monsters in turn-based tactical combat. If adventurers survive to the end of the dungeon, the player faces them as a final boss. Between attacks by adventurers, players manage their dungeon and optionally trigger random events. [2] If the player is defeated in the boss fight, they must start over. Players retain unlocks when they are defeated, and their level-ups can carry over to another session. [3]
The game was in early access for about a year. The developers credited this with giving them early feedback on how to improve the game, such as prioritizing a free play mode over additional bosses. [3] Legend of Keepers was released for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Switch on April 29, 2021. [4]

[6] Christopher Livingston of PC Gamer said the game was not as polished as Darkest Dungeon, which it resembled in reverse, but he had fun playing it. [2] Nicolas Dixmier of Jeuxvideo.com called it a funny game that does not revolutionize the roguelite genre. [7]
