    Dungeon of the Endless lacks that one thing, the element that pushes it over the top into the exceptional.

    Not quite endless, but some gamers will have fun with it while it lasts.

    Dungeon of the Endless is an intriguing mix of roguelike dungeon crawler and tower defense. Grab a crew of heroes, defend them with room modules, explore a lost dungeon, and find your way to the end. Like most roguelikes, success in the game is still heavily based on luck, but there's still a lot to love in Dungeon of the Endless.

    Tactical and role-playing variety suffers from imperfect system of procedural generation. Lady Luck may start throwing at you rooms where you can’t build anything, or give pitiful amount of energy, or leave you with no way to improve your technologies. It’s like reversed Russian roulette: you get one balanced gaming session per five ridiculously difficult. [Dec 2014, p.95]

    Great use of lighting effects helps sell the feeling of dread and isolation of the strange world.

    For hardcore players, Dungeon of the Endless could be the game that will occupy your time and mind for what seems to be... well... endless ages.

    Dungeon of the Endless is a bold new take on the roguelike genre, including tower defense mechanics, and strategy rpg elements.

    It may sound like a strange mashup, but it just works!
    Like the other Amplitude games, levels are generated procedurally, so expect 'endless replayability'...

    Add awesome pixel Art, and the usual great music by FlybyNo and you got a gem. One you shouldn't miss especially given the ridiculously low price tag!!

    Dungeon of the Endless deserves no less than a 10!!    … Full Review »

    This game is a living chessboard that    I just registered an account with metacritic after years of using it just to endorse this one game.

    This game is a living chessboard that pushes you to spend each resource available as wisely as possible in each level. Each time you open a door you can trigger an event, and each dark room comes with a risk of spawning monsters. Do you place your hero to light a room you don't have power to keep online, or do you keep them up with the door opener to support them in combat, or even place them in a room to use their wits to boost your next resource tick? Do you defend a main hub room or keep them split apart with your resource producing upgrades? Do you use that food for leveling up a hero, or save it for an instant heal that might just save your playthrough? Do you go for the glory at the end of a map, selling off your precious turret and light providing dust (power) to itemize for the next level and try to survive your way through the waves of monsters?

    This game is honestly brilliant, and I've been picking up games randomly in Steam since the platform came out. I'm absolutely excited to see where development takes it.    … Full Review »
