    Dungeon of the Endless gives a bad first impression that hides an addictive, fun game. The poor tutorial and unclear mechanics might initially turn off some players, but if you're willing to push past that, Dungeon of the Endless is an enjoyable combination of dungeon-crawling and tower defense. While the Switch version may not have the best controls, its portability is a great combination for the game design, and even those who've played the PC version may want to give this one a shot.

    It’s a really interesting take on a dungeon game, because you’re not actively controlling anything, and it often feels more like you’re just suggesting that your characters go and do something rather than actually getting them to do it. The mechanics are incredibly cool, and managing your power as you explore while trying to defend your home and also push further into the unknown is very satisfying.

    On Nintendo Switch, Dungeon of the Endless is still an excellent and cruel mix of Rouge-like, Tower Defense, RPG and strategy. Port is good, even if it stumbles occasionally when there are too many enemies on screen, and it plays well, may you progress with a pad configuration and/or touch screen. It always has something to bring you down, but is charming and deep enough to urge you to go for another try and be more thoughtful. And lucky. Brilliant.

    Crashing a lot and some minor bugs. Will update the score if they fix it. When it works it’s a great game.

You will die a lot but there are plenty of characters to unlock (with their own unique attributes) to keep you trying.

    Unfortunately as you get towards the final floors, there appears to be a bug where you get chronic slowdown of the engine, and eventually a crash. It seems like it might relate to the number of enemies you have faced at that point? But i'm not sure...

    I managed to finish one run, but lost a few more due to crashes. I initially believed this was a Switch issue (which aren't rare in ports!) but I have heard it happens on PS4 as well. It's a massive shame, and I wish there was a patch to rectify it. It would be one of my top three games on Switch if it worked.    … Full Review »

You manage the rooms you open and install modules to get resources and tower to defend of the enemies waves that appears in the dark rooms you can't illuminate. The objective is to clear a floor creating a path in order to carry a crystal from the starting room to the floor exit. When you clear 12 floors you win the run. The tactical decisions are crucial. Very very fun and smart rogue like game. A must have.… Full Review »
