Oct 17, 2023Endless Dungeon manages to create the perfect mix of tower defense, roguelikes, and twin-stick shooter to create a deep, yet accessible adventure for the ages. One of the best co-op games of 2023.
-
Oct 20, 2023Endless Dungeon excels in blending various genres seamlessly and providing an engaging, constantly fresh, thrilling experience to anyone who enjoys innovative games.
-
Oct 16, 2023Endless Dungeon will have players coming for the unique blend of rip-roaring action and tower defense, but what should keep them around is the impressive and lovable cast of characters, along with their various stories to become invested in. But whether you want gunplay, strategy, exploration or story, this is a game can provide it all in one simple-yet-deep package, making for a terrific experience that’s not to be missed out on. Now to get back to helping the bartenders find that drink recipe among the piles of bug corpses…
-
Oct 16, 2023Endless Dungeon is a fantastic roguelike with beautiful visuals, a charming cast of heroes, genuine humour, and a comprehensive, well-designed meta-game.
-
Oct 31, 2023A really excellent mix of different genres. It does not bring anything fundamentally innovative, but what it does, it does well. It borrows the best elements of roguelike top down actions, tower defense games and MOBA strategies and combines them into an excellent game, which you will enjoy best with live teammates in cooperation.
-
Oct 22, 2023Endless Dungeon is a very well done mix of genres. It is a polished experience with some progression flaws.
-
Oct 16, 2023Endless Dungeon is a very good roguelite that, while it can be enjoyed solo, shines much more brightly when played cooperatively.
-
Oct 16, 2023With its mix of several genres (rogue-lite, twin-stick shooter, tower-defense), Endless Dungeon had everything to break your head. However, the French from Amplitude Studios have proven to us once again that they are capable of playing in the big leagues. Thanks to its originality, its very well-balanced rhythm and its impressive artistic direction, Endless Dungeon can be enjoyed alone or in cooperation with up to three players. And even if the runs are long and the narration lacks a bit of direction, you always want to get lost in the space station to finally reach the reactor. An excellent game which allows a very good end to a year 2023 already rich in content for rogue-lite fans.
-
Oct 16, 2023ENDLESS Dungeon is an exceptional example of genre-crossing excitement that offers players an ever-changing adventure in rich surroundings. The love, attention (and Dust) that Amplitude Studios has clearly poured into this title elevates it to a worthy addition to the already-fantastic ENDLESS universe.
-
Oct 16, 2023Endless Dungeon may not be a tech powerhouse or groundbreaking experience, but then not every game has to be. What it does do is take the core of three different genres and mash them into an enjoyable and fresh experience that can be enjoyed solo or with a friend on just about any PC out there.
-
Oct 26, 2023A touch too much repetition doesn't spoil this ambitious and elegant combo of run 'n' gun, tower defence, and roguelike.
-
Oct 30, 2023Endless Dungeon is a dungeon-delving delight, shaking up a batch of mechanics and turning in a heady cocktail that’s as good at home as it is served up in a space-station saloon.
-
Oct 25, 2023If you want to enjoy the strategic aspects of tower-defense and the exhilaration of top-down shooter at the same time, Endless Dungeon would be the ultimate choice. However, it's also possible to be disappointed by some aspects that make you feel the depth of entire gameplay a bit shallow.
-
Oct 16, 2023It requires an almost brash confidence to mash up a twin-stick shooter with a tower defense game, and then further mix that into a sci-fi roguelite. But somehow Endless Dungeon pulls it off, blending them all seamlessly into a great package that strikes just the right balance of action, strategy, and rewarding progression. It can occasionally be frustrating when the random elements stack the deck completely against you, but strong persistent upgrade options make each run still feel like you’ve accomplished something. With a great cast of heroes, a deep roster of monsters, and stellar co-op, Endless Dungeon is an audacious blend that’s worth opening that next door to find.
-
Oct 16, 2023Endless Dungeon surprises by offering a well-thought-out, modernised evolution of its original recipe. It manages to mix genres and offer multi-faceted gameplay, with a certain complexity, but without becoming too heavy-handed or untenable in co-op. What we end up with is a rogue-lite with a good balance between strategy and action, with a strong tactical twist in single-player, and which requires good teamwork and a lot of communication in multiplayer. In both cases, it's a game you should try out for yourself to discover a fresh, innovative game that you can't help but want to play again and again.
-
Oct 16, 2023Endless Dungeon is an entertaining, polished, and finely-tuned roguelike, expertly blending action and tactics to fill each trip with dozens of impactful micro-decisions. While visibility can be an issue during packed battles, presentation overall is bright and clean, and supported by some classy character design. Co-op play is the icing on an already tasty cake.
-
Oct 16, 2023The visuals, music and game mechanics for Endless Dungeon were magnificent achievements, but the technical aspects should be prioritized before the official release.
-
Oct 30, 2023Endless Dungeon suffers from a lot of different issues. Lore dumps are only available in a library tab in the saloon, so there isn’t much in ways of story. I like roguelike games, and I began to wonder if I really did, or I just liked the ones I had played. Single-player is painfully bland, and the random aspects will often put you in nearly unwinnable situations. There is a lot that the game doesn’t outright explain, which had me consulting things like the in-game glossary for clarification. However, co-op turns the game upside down and gives a lot more enjoyment for your time.
-
Oct 19, 2023Endless Dungeon adds a few layers of strategy to the roguelike genre and it works well. Going in with a team and having turrets for support forces you to pool your advantages together to win. With different team combinations and turret placements, you can spend hours finding the perfect playstyle. There is a steep learning curve compared to other roguelikes and some glitches are present. Fortunately, none of that drags the experience down and you still have a solid roguelike that keeps you on your toes.
-
Oct 31, 2023Endless Dungeon is a strategically challenging genre mix, but it only reaches its full potential in co-op.
-
Nov 27, 2023At its core, an enjoyable game that trips over itself with peculiar technical solutions. It looks great, and the sound is perhaps even more impressive, but the experience is hindered by the unenjoyable hero and weapon upgrades and a lack of synergy among them. Despite the flaws, it remains an entertaining title that you can enjoy if you overlook its shortcomings.
-
Nov 2, 2023It’s certainly not a bad roguelike if you’re into the genre. The content there is engaging enough to keep you going for a while, just don’t expect it to be the kind of game that’ll be in your regular rotation for years to come.
-
Oct 23, 2023Endless Dungeon is generally a quality rogue-lite adventure. It’s constantly throwing hordes of enemies at you and feels genuinely challenging. With more variety and better weapons and upgrades it could’ve been an excellent sci-fi romp to replay. It's still a lot of fun at times, but some restrictions hold it back. Descending each floor of the dungeon and reaching the reactor will keep you hooked for a while, but at its core Endless Dungeon’s flaws hold it back from being a truly memorable advancement for the genre. It does more for tower defence than it does for rogue-lites, which certainly isn’t a bad thing, but it never quite makes the impact I was hoping it could.
-
Oct 23, 2023Endless Dungeon is a tough one to critique, though it fully deserves it in some areas. The team at Amplitude succeeded in creating a fun roguelite, tower defense, twin-stick dungeon crawler that will entertain for hours. At the same time, it doesn’t excel in anything it brings to the table, fails to innovate, and even falls inexplicably short in some obvious places. This is one to buy on sale.
-
Oct 18, 2023Action, tower defense, tactics, rogue-lite and co-op in one package: Endless Dungeon is a stylish successor, but in the long run it lacks surprises and variety. Content updates could have a big impact here.
-
Oct 16, 2023Endless Dungeon is a fun roguelike experience.
-
Dec 11, 2023Endless Dungeon tries to do a lot and is largely successful. However, the mix of genres and focus on roguelite elements over tower defense falls a bit flat in the crowded roguelite space. It provides a few hours of fun, especially with a friend, but Endless it is not.
-
Nov 10, 2023Endless Dungeon is a successor to the great Dungeon of the Endless, but it flops on so many levels. The idea is there, but the gameplay is very repetitive and gets stale very quickly into the game. The rogue-lite elements help, but the sudden difficulty spikes did not encourage me to continue playing. The singleplayer mode offers an abysmal experience, but there is fun to be found in a multiplayer session with your friends.
-
Nov 3, 2023This beautiful mix of shooter and tower defence still lacks in the progression department: with richer upgrades and more flexibilty and customisation options, Endless Dungeon's pleasures would last us longer.
-
Oct 16, 2023Endless Dungeon’s strong presentation, characterful sci-fi culture, and unique cooperative approach remains intact. It’s a game of on-the-fly decisions and intimidating combat encounters, with success often separated from failure by a hair. Those qualities should draw in the more patient and masochistic roguelite aficionados, and better still if they have a like-minded, agreeable team in tow, the players committed to see the treacherous paths to the reactor all the way through and come back for more. Ultimately, Endless Dungeon offers a smart and strategic co-op challenge with minimal hand-holding, but its structure feels all a little too delicate to deliver up the next real roguelite obsession.
-
Oct 16, 2023I have a love/hate relationship with Endless Dungeon. When it’s good, it feels excellent. The early-game progression is incredibly satisfying, filling out quest logs and completing pages of upgrades is rewarding, and it looks and sounds sublime. On the other hand, the lengthy runs take a toll, and once you get into the late game, the rate of progression doesn’t cut it anymore. Suddenly, the time invested doesn’t match up with the strength of the upgrades you can acquire, and the game feels very much like a Sisyphean task as originally intended, a punishment.
-
Oct 16, 2023Endless Dungeon may look sleek and polished, but this isometric rogue-like offers little depth. Despite a strong opening, the paper-thin narrative, stock characters, and repetitive combat mechanics do little to maintain interest.

Oct 17, 2023ENDLESS Dungeon is an intelligent and unique proposal. With the spirit of a strategy and tower defense game, the progression of a roguelike and the look of a twin stick shooter, you shouldn't miss this amazing cocktail. [Recommended]

Oct 16, 2023So aye. Like any stew, there's a lot piled in. But the principle ingredients are filling and simple. Endless Dungeon's core design, if we want to break it right down, is made of the following stuffs: turret, door, nest, money. There is nothing in these elements, or even in the "verbs" of the game, to make it unique. Hundreds of games use the same ingredients, even aim for the same taste (lighthearted Aliens). But Amplitude's recipe here, their choice of spices, results in a uniquely pleasing dish. They sprinkle the turrets, they keep the nests chunky, they bake the money into the doors. (God, I'm hungry.) The result is an absolutely stacked dish that roguelike-likers will be very happy to gorge on. [RPS Bestest Bests]
