    I liked Dungeon of the Endless a lot, mainly due to the fact that it does pretty much everything right. It has the right balance to allow for longer play sessions once you start getting the hang of it, but it also pays respect to the roguelike elements at its core.

    A roguelike game with tower defense characteristics that is possible to keep you entertained and on the edge for many hours before you manage to succeed in all the 12 floors/dungeons. Consider the beautiful pixel art esthetic a significant bonus to the whole experience.

    A fascinating mix of roleplaying, rogue-like dungeon crawler and tower defense, that demands a high frustration threshold.

    Dungeon of the Endless pulls from many popular games and genres from the last couple of years, but what's wonderful about it is that all these elements come together to create something entirely new.

    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.

    One of the most underrated roguelites with amazing pixelart and "realtime with pause" tactics. Great replayability and coop mode.

    Another Amplitude game that nails it!!

    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!!

It's got a perfect blendDungeon of the Endless is a brilliant mix of genres that at first leaves you confused, then leaves you wanting more. It's got a perfect blend of strategy and building modules and defenses, while still making it engaging and intense to get your heroes to that approaching alien swarm. It's a truly unique experience - you're missing out if you haven't played. 9/10 Expand

    Half dungeon crawler, half resource management sim, Dungeon of the Endless is a simplistic "Rogue-like" set in the Endless universe. The thingHalf dungeon crawler, half resource management sim, Dungeon of the Endless is a simplistic "Rogue-like" set in the Endless universe. The thing that sets this apart from so many others in its genre is how you keep your party alive; major slots on dungeon floors allow you to build Major Modules (used to harvest resources), along with minor slots for offensive, defensive, and supportive modules. Three resources are harvested per door opening and modules add to their production: Food for healing, leveling, and recruiting heroes, Industry for constructing modules, and Science for researching upgrades and resetting your party's ability cooldowns. A fourth resource, Dust, is much rarer and is used to power the crystal you are escorting, which in turn powers rooms for modules.

    Gameplay is both turn-based (new resources are harvested from when you open a door to a new room) and real-time (combat, movement, healing, etc.), keeping you constantly engaged despite the AI-controlled combat. The first few floors are simple enough to clear out but about halfway up you need to decide which is more important: risking your party's lives and possibly the crystal itself or running to the exit ASAP? Keeping a balanced party and wisely spending your resources will make or break your runs. Luck is always a factor but I felt that once I knew how to control the flow of spawns and properly construct defensive chokepoints that most of my losses were admittedly my own fault. This game rewards planning and strategy instead of demanding you get lucky unlike other recent Sci-fi rogue-likes (looking at you FTL & SotS: The Pit!).

    Newcomers will be overwhelmed easily and probably give up easily because the tutorial is terrible and most of the game's systems have to be studied on the wiki, even with the extensive tooltips in-game. Although it practically plays itself at times and still could use some polishing and TLC, Dungeon of the Endless is a very unique Rogue-like and is worth checking out for fans of the genre.

    L'étron indé typique qui se veut trop frais et déborde de "fraîcheur" alors qu'il est complètement pourrave et qu'il pue la merde à desL'étron indé typique qui se veut trop frais et déborde de "fraîcheur" alors qu'il est complètement pourrave et qu'il pue la merde à des kilomètres à la ronde ! la musique d'ascenseur ne peut pas être désactivée ni baissée : elle pue la niasierie et la migraine comme tout le reste de ce pseudo-jeu qui n'a de jeu que le nom...

    Ce mélange foireux de tower défense et rogue-like est aussi palpitant qu'une partie de Solitaire et aussi présentable qu'un vieux carton de navets avariés. Et dire qu'ils le vendent, ça ? ils ne manquent pas de toupet ces baltringues ! c'est moche comme un pou et ce n'est qu'un étron indé de plus, repoussant, débile et opportuniste. Il sera bien mieux à sa place dans le vide-ordures, si le vide-ordures en veut bien, bien sûr.
