Loving game, till I got stuck
Gug100
I love this game. It is all I have been playing for days. That changed tonight, I went into a cave, when I came out the other side, I was stuck behind a door I didn't have a key for. Game will not let me go back, can't open the door, so I am stuck... I don't want to start a new game as I fought to get my character up to level 9...
Great game, also stuck in cave

In 3 years on iOS, I've only paid for a handful of games. Galactic Keep is easily in my top 3 for value, theme, style and more. But as another reviewer posted, I'm stuck in a single space btwn a cave entrance and a door requiring a red key, which I lack. Any kind of support for this glitch is appreciated. Shelving GC unless/until this is addressed. Otherwise, no complaints.
Brilliant, with tiny flaw

I too am currently stuck, after leaving a cave behind a red door I cannot open. And, I cannot go back into the cave. Frustrating.
Fun and unique.

Clearly a project that was designed with incredible attention to detail. The mechanics are sound, the luck of the dice rolls makes for some tense moments, and the story is unique and compelling. I would have liked it to have a bit more direction for the story as I often felt like I was just wandering around.
Scratches the RPG Itch perfectively

I will come back to this and update after I play more of it, as I am only 2 hours in, but I cannot express enough how much I am loving it. If you get this game please post a review so we can help the developers and they in turn can create more modules. The level of detail is amazing. It feels like you went to your hobby store and bought a module for your favorite rpg. When you look at the map, you can see it has been folded, and there is a slight yellow color on the fold showing age. Thats the level of detail the guys put in. Enjoy! Update: I am 10 hours in now, and the game gets better and better. The strategy for fighting gets better and more complicated, making it enjoyable. Exploration is so fun. Step on every square for the best experience. You never no if some text will pop up. If I could give this a six star I would. enjoy Update: once you get special items that makes the enemy miss their turn, the combat gets much too easy. These items are too powerful, causing misses up to 80% of the time. I think it should top out around 30% so the last 1/2 of the game isn't too easy.
One of the best on iOS.

This game stands far above most everything I've played on mobile in terms of quality and care that was poured into it. The art alone makes paying four bucks for this feel like a crime. Take the presence and tone of Wasteland, the themes of Master of Orion and the aesthetic and mechanics of Descent (the board game, not the nausea-inducing PC shooter) and you're in the ballpark of Galactic Keep. If you weren't sweating by the time you finished reading that sentence you are probably awful. If you don't buy this game women will know and literally never touch you again. Stop reading and just buy it.
Decent dungeon crawl, poor rpg

The general layout of the game seems to imply a classic science fiction RPG. However, the mechanic do not support this idea. The mechanics are almost entirely for combat, with skill check being few and far between. I must say that the developers did make combat interesting with flavor text and differing effects, but the rest of the mechanics fall short. Character creation takes a backseat to character selection. You pick a pre-determined race/class combination and then roll stats for it, not even being able to change the characters' name. Ultimately, the most saddening exclusion is in-depth star travel. A small, RPG themed trading and exploration mechanic would be nice, but as of now, the only "sci-fi" activity present is dungeon exploration, which to the game's credit, it does well. I cannot help but feel that the gameplay could improve if more sandbox mechanics were added, perhaps in the vein of solo Traveller bartering. As of now, the game feels like a standard RPG with some old school paint slapped on. Luckily, it seems as though the developers are continually working on the game, with the addition of better mapping features. There is still hope for star faring on your mobile devices yet, spacers.
Incredibly engaging, needs more RPG elements

Galactic keep is a unique gaming experience. It's very challenging but the setting, art and gameplay kept me hooked. It plays like a dungeon crawler with plenty of loot and combat opportunities. That alone is enough to make for a great game. Add in the hand drawn aesthetic and the creepy noir-ish sci-fi feel and you have the makings of one of the best mobile turn based games I've played. However, I found only two opportunities to use non-combat skills. If there were more RPG elements I'd be happy to change my review to 5 stars. Now, more episodes please!
Great Game

Good to see that a couple of guys can still make a great game. I love the hand drawn art and the combat descriptions are vivid and well written.
