Compare Crimson Keep prices across trusted key stores and find the best deal. Developed by Ian Atherton, Ben Rog-Wilhelm. Published by Merge Publishing. Released on 11/29/2018. Available on PC, Xbox. Genres: Action, Indie, RPG.

A procedurally generated dungeon crawler that banks on exploration and loot loops, but mixed reviews suggest the execution stumbles more than it soars.

I went in expecting a classic roguelike first-person descent, and Crimson Keep delivers that in structure: you're clearing rooms, hunting treasure, and dodging traps in a shifting labyrinth. The procedural generation means no two runs feel identical, which is the right baseline for this genre. Combat is straightforward without being engaging, and the loot treadmill works well enough for short sessions. The problem is the reviews don't lie. At 57% positive, something fundamental feels off-balance. The write-ups suggest the procedural generation can repeat itself too visibly, the difficulty spikes feel arbitrary rather than earned, and there's not enough narrative hook to justify the grind. It's competent but forgettable, the kind of indie roguelike that scratches an itch for about five hours and then sits unplayed. Monika, Scout Team

GamerScout Verdict

Competent roguelike structure that runs out of hooks before the grind pays off.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.

Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.

We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.
