 WEBSITE // STEAM // GAME UPDATES // STEAM GROUP IN ONE SENTENCE:  ) Dungeon crawler with strong tower defence focus, planning and frantic pausing to avoid a horrible death.  quote:Dungeon of the Endless is a Rogue-Like Dungeon-Defense game for PC and Mac, made by Amplitude Studios, in which the player and team must protect the generator on their crashed ship while exploring an ever-expending dungeon, all while facing waves of monsters and special events as they try to find their way out.  Quite a retro look, but im strangely fond of it.  Whats Behind the Door teaser Its a fun little video to get you into the spirit of the game.Heres a PCGamer review. Rock Paper Shotgun's Review is up! Here's the link. Dungeon of the Endless is pretty much what it's advertising as, a roguelike dungeon crawler with tower defence. As you fight for the lives of your team, gather what resources and equipment you can, save who is worth taking and mourn the death of whoever you didn't click to force feed more food into to increase their life. It also features a Multiplayer mode! Apparently you cant pause so while you might have another mind and set of hands to work alongside, you're going to be busy while doing so!  There are two versions, Pixel and Founder, make sure you give the Founder a once over if you're interested in extras. If im being honest, the soundtrack is in the Pixel version so thats the best part of the Founder pack already yours. GAMEPLAY: The goal of the game? Move the power core from your crashed dropship ever upwards through the twisting labyrinthine maze of an Endless facility and survive. If you've ever played Endless Space or Endless Legend, yes its the same universe right alongside the super-substance Dust and its fellows, Food, Industry and Science. You spend Food to upgrade heroes and heal them. Science to unlock more plug-ins for the tower defence element. Industry to build said plugs and Dust to power (and illuminate! This is important!) rooms. As you open doors, you will gain more resources, but every door opened comes with dangers, not only from that direction but also from the darkened rooms you have explored before. You do not have enough dust to illuminate all of the dungeon, you will be attacked from the dark places, this is where the tower defence comes in. Do you use your band as a mobile force and save all of your industry for building? Do you build and run to a safe room when bad things emerge? Or are you content in your defence, eager to push on with exploring? Decisions, decisions...  Ultimately you will need to move the core to the exit, and when that comes about, all hell will break loose as every darkened room rushes out monsters eager to end your run. Best you have swift feet. PLOT: quote:A few hundred condemned criminals were being shipped to the Auriga system on board the prison hulk “Success”. While this was presented as a chance to earn back their place in society by working hard for the common good, they understood that in fact they would be slave labour, sent to colonize an unexplored planet. All they knew about Auriga Prime was what the probes told them: it had water, temperate zones, plant life, and plenty of metals in the crust. The plot is further revealed in elevator rides and other discoveries. The characters you start with and the ones you rescue have interesting things to talk about. Ingame, this knowlege is slowly gathered up in the Album,   Your runs are recorded in the Journal,  Where you can regret not pausing, or hoarding your food, for all time.  Items have amusing descriptions, lets see some more from fellow players!    RESOURCES: Once again, Ampitude has done a gorgeous soundtrack to go with the game, (cant find it on youtube so bandcamp it is) similar to Endless Space and Legend. I have a raw twitch stream from a few versions back that can be used to get a feel, Here and i plan to do some more streaming, at least of the new version, for anyone whos interested. http://www.twitch.tv/thyrork Some more videos. Mild commentary and a very silly mistake towards the end involving Opbot. HINTS AND TIPS: Spacebar is your goddamned best friend, learn it, use it, love it!  The map is functional and makes for a good planning ground. In multiplayer it shines to keep you on your toes. This button? Its a big deal. But you dont have infinite food and its also used to upgrade your heroes. So choose carefully between retreat, healing and the future possibilities of promotion. "I didn't notice this innocent little button for the longest time, but drat is it important. You pay a tiny amount of useless science points to instantly recharge your characters' special abilities. There's no cooldown, so I usually abuse this on hard waves in the endgame to fire off several of those Elise Ness AoE attacks." - Enchanted Hat

bobtheconqueror posted:I got really lucky on my first successful run. My four man team after a couple floors was two pairs for story stuff. I think I finished both, but I'm not sure. I know I finished one, cause, well, somebody got murdered on an elevator.  I also just recruited "Spider Woman", who has some great flavour text. Ill post it tomorrow.

 This game. It causes monsters to aggro onto the offending hero, as you'd expect.

Did Some more videos, mild commentary. Midways run that lead to my first win, then me being bad at death or glory and accidentally selling Opbot in a tired haze instead of upgrading.  Its still raw gameplay footage by the medium of twitch so mostly to the benefit of any fence sitters reading in.

You jest, but "Star Wars: Republic Commando" set in the Endless Space universe sure would be something.

Me and KillerofLawyers were having some fun with this Multiplayer but its not perfect sadly. Had a desync problem that resulted in me having to Alt+f4 to get past the loading screen for kol, resulting in my two heroes leaving. Income and Dust is shared, pooled resources, research and inventory is personal. All in all, its a fun "few hours to kill" bit of entertainment.

TastyLemonDrops posted:There's no matchmaking. It's just people trying to play with their friends in formed lobbies. Don't bother playing MP unless you're playing with people you can communicate with via Teamspeak or something. I totally disagree, do it for a few games and see if RNG pays off. Frantically saying "NO DONT OPEN THAT DOOR!" in typing has its magical moments too, you know.
