Care must be taken when a random merchant is found when purchasing new equipment, as it’s very easy to de-power rooms, putting yourself in a nasty situation when the enemy waves come.

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.

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.

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.
