Endless Dungeon's Rambunctious Tone Helps Ease You Into Its Challenging Roguelike Structure

Developer Amplitude Studios' squad-based roguelike Endless Dungeon offers a more rambunctious and silly narrative within the studio's Endless games, a primarily 4X strategy series with traditionally dramatic and serious stories. It's a welcoming first step into a universe I've often heard friends talk about but never managed to actually get into. Plus, it's pretty fun!

Borrowing mechanics and features from hero shooters and twin-stick tower defense games, Endless Dungeon sees you form a squad of three from a roster of playable characters.

To do so, you'll need to make your way through the station's 10 districts--which are filled with never-ending waves of monsters--while accompanying a brittle energy crystal that opens up the doors in your way.
