Metaverse Keeper

Metaverse Keeper is a cooperative action game about four heroes from different universes who board the Bastion, a vast ship drifting across space-time. Sent by the Metaverse’s government, they must uncover the secrets of the cataclysm that created the Metaverse, defeat The Boss and restore balance. You can play local or online co-op.

The Metaverse

Long ago, the civilization of planet Noah became advanced enough to communicate across space-time and see into the future. Its people discovered that their planet was destined to be destroyed in a catastrophe. A hero used Noah’s technology to bend space-time and save the planet, but caused a greater disaster. Space-time twisted in on itself, tangling stars, planets and civilizations from across the Universe’s past, present and possible future into the Metaverse.

The hero’s deeds and name were forgotten, but the Metaverse was left as a strange, dangerous mix of what was, what is and what could be. After disappearing, the hero returned as The Boss, now threatening what remains of reality. The Metaverse’s united government has called on four heroes, each a veteran of cosmic conflicts who has repeatedly saved their own planet.

Changing expeditions

The heroes use space-time abilities to return after death and keep fighting, but each death has a cost: the Metaverse’s chaos changes the Bastion, so no two attempts are the same. As you discover rooms, you gather energy to spend at Chip Machines.

Chips are remnants of ancient Noah technology. They grant passive effects, let you customize weapons into builds suited to different battles, enemies and bosses, or power a character’s special talents.

The heroes

Each hero has a distinct combat style, special skill and ways to use Chips:

• Wong, the Programmer: A hacker skilled in hand-to-hand combat, Wong uses Matrix Shuttle to pass through and damage enemies. Chips can increase his health, stamina or damage.
• Zoe, the Bomber Girl: The demolition expert uses Rocket Leap to dodge attacks and damage enemies on takeoff and landing. Chips can increase her bomb capacity and damage; she also regains HP when she defeats an enemy with a bomb.
• Brooks, the Rock Star: His special skill gives him a dodge with three charges that refill over time. Chips can make him summon extra healing orbs when he picks up Hearts of Life, exchange stamina for HP, or increase his maximum stamina or critical damage.
• Howard, the Astronaut: Howard can teleport forward and create two portal gates that he can travel between for a short time. Chips can summon energy orbs in different situations, increase their damage or restore shield points.
