Review summary

Most reviewers condemn Dome Guardian as an over-advertised, broken clone of Dome Keeper. The core idea—burrowing to mine resources while defending a dome—has potential, and some praise the first chapter or the concept. However, the game is plagued by relentless ads, questionable IAP handling to remove ads, and serious gameplay bugs: waves ending early, inaccessible second chapter, unclear goals, and weak balance. The consensus is that unless fixed, it is not worth the price.

Pros

Neat concept of burrowing to gather resources while defending a base.
First chapter is acceptable and shows potential for the concept.
Ad-free option is available via an in-app purchase.

Cons

Excessive, intrusive ads after nearly every wave and prompts to watch ads for rewards.
Feels like a cheap Dome Keeper clone with weak controls and imbalanced progression.
Second chapter is inaccessible and objectives are unclear, making progression feel broken.
Ads and ad removal IAP often do not improve the experience; ads persist or are hard to disable.
Gameplay issues such as overheating on some devices, slow gun moves, and tiny hitboxes that hamper combat.

2026-01-27	ka*****	I liked the game enough to buy the no ads option but will sadly be requesting a refund. The game is broken. While you’re in the middle of fighting monsters, it says wave is complete and the timer for the next wave starts while you’re still fighting monsters leaving you no time to go and mine. The game could have been fun but that flaw makes the game unplayable.

Even after buying every upgrade, destroying every block, nothing changes. Terrible rip off of another game. Least the developer could have done is make it playable.
