Towers can be built in the middle of a wave, heroes can be healed on the fly, and hero powers can be activated to tip the odds in your favor. While Dungeon’s heroes and monsters automatically attack each other, it actually works much better here as there’s often plenty going on. Some strategy is employed but I’ve always been a big fan of tactical combat and issuing vague orders to my army before watching them clash has always left me wanting more. The one consistently weak element across Endless Space and Endless Legend is the automated combat. It’s a brilliant mechanic to create a tense finale to each floor, and forced me to strategize on the optimal path to the exit. Once the dungeon exit is found, a hero must pick up your crystal and run to the exit, triggering a massive climactic wave as your hero appropriately de-powers all your rooms and towers as it makes its exodus.

In other words, 36 Dust will power three rooms, 84 Dust will power eight. You can only power as many rooms as you have 10s of Dust. Your crystal is what powers up the rooms you find, keeping monsters from spawning in that room and allowing you to build resource-granting modules as well as multiple types of towers. Monsters can spawn any time, however, and make a beeline for your crystal. The gameplay is an interesting mixture of turn and real-time – resources are granted upon each opened door and researching new towers takes a certain number of doors or turns to complete. A room can contain anything from new weapons to heroes to monsters or resources.
You progress by opening doors to access new rooms. Your objective is to find the exit point on each level.

Heroes can be leveled up using food and gain passive and active skills. Like other Endless games the heroes have their own breakdown of RPG stats like HP, defense, and DPS as well as three equipment slots for weapon, armor, and utilty. You begin a game in your crashed escape pod with two random starting heroes. It has the initial properties of a rogue-like – that is, a dungeon crawler with randomly generated and progressively difficult levels and permadeath.
The gameplay here is so different from their other games, and most games I’ve played, that it’s difficult to describe.
Watch me play some Dungeon of the Endless below! Dungeon of the Endless may well be both their most and least accessible game depending on your proclivity for the 4X turn-based strategy of their previous outings compared to this unique mashup of genres. I’ve covered Endless Legend in a previous Early Access preview, but now it’s time to dive back underground into the pixelated, randomly generated world of Dungeon of the Endless.įor those familiar with other Endless games, the UI and resource structure of Food, Industry, Dust, and Science (FIDS) is instantly recognizable, but also well-crafted and intuitive to newcomers. Once the survivors make it the surface of this interesting rogue-like tower defense dungeon crawler, the ‘story’ shifts to Endless Legend as they craft a civilization and attempt to reach the stars once again. Not only has Amplitude Studios managed to insert the word ‘Endless’ into all of their games – Endless Space and the upcoming (currently on Early Access) Endless Legend and Dungeon of the Endless – but each game takes place within the same rich sci-fi universe and manages to tell a compelling little story.Ī ship from Endless Space is shot down over the planet Auriga and crash lands into a strange facility, and Dungeon of the Endless begins.
