With Endless Dungeon just announced, and Human Kind on my brain, we thought it might be a good timed to revisit the classic Amplitude Studio's roguelike Dungeon of the Endless. Released in 2014 the game puts players in the shoes of various characters in a tactical strategy game about saving their crashed shipped.
One of my favorite indie releases of the past two years is Dungeon of the Endless. It's a great rogue-like that integrates elements of tower defense and strategy. Every victory (and defeat) feels earned. If you haven't played it on the PC already, you'll get your chance to check it out on the Xbox One starting next Wednesday.
Yesterday, Amplitude Studios released the new Organic Matters update for their indie hit Dungeon of the Endless. The update is completely free and features a community-driven set of new content for the game. Alongside Organic Matters, Amplitude also released a paid content pack called Rescue Team.
It's that time of year when your favorite games drop in new content that is in some way, shape, or form, Halloween-themed. Such is the case with the free "Death Gamble" update to the cooperative dungeon crawler/defense title, Dungeon of the Endless, which adds a literal Death to the game (as opposed to the one against which you're figuratively battling throughout) that will offer players a very "special" deal.
If you tuned into our Monday night stream this week, you may have noticed we were playing some new characters in the cooperative roguelike/dungeon crawler, Dunegon of the Endless. Developer Amplitude Studios added the familiar Team Fortress 2 characters to the game for FREE; that's right, if you own the game, just fire it up and play as the Pyro, Heavy, Medic, or Engineer.
Alright, big news came to indie strategy/roguelike/rpg darling, Dungeon of the Endless, a couple weeks ago. Alongside their free weekend on Steam, Amplitude Studios released patch 1.0.58. It seems pretty innocuous, right? Wrong. God, aren't you paying attention?
Just because Dungeon of the Endless escaped the eternal imprisonment of Steam's Early Access program doesn't mean Amplitude Studios is content to leave it be. They're still slaving away in the Update Mines, cranking out some new ideas that bubbled up from the pulsating hive-mind of the Games2Gether community project. Seeing as how Dungeon won our very own Indie Game of the Year award for 2014 despite being a rather late entry, I'm looking forward to new content. Though the "new content" might very well result in a very sudden and acid-related end for our stranded heroes.
A lot of games today tend to mix genres, it’s rare to see a straight shooter with no RPG elements or an RTS that doesn’t also utilize some elements of tower defense. But what is rare today is to find a game that does it so seamlessly and well that it almost creates a new genre in itself. It’s because of this, Dungeon of the Endles...
Dungeon of the Endless may have been out on Steam Early access for a long time, which probably both helped and hurt the title at the same time. On one hand it gave the game plenty of time to bake in the oven and garner player feedback, on the other, it makes it that much harder to hit critical mass. Last night we checked out the latest build of the game in online two player co-op. So how is it?
While Dungeon of the Endless debuted on Steam's Early Access in December, most of the main features, including the four player co-op, have yet to be implemented. The nightmare of being lost in a sci-fi dungeon alone is soon to be over, however. The genre-bending roguelike game crash lands on Steam October 27th of this year.
Though its been on Steam's patented Early Access since December, info out of GDC reveals that Dungeon of the Endless is destined to support four player co-op at full launch. Now all you need is three friends who are willing to endure hours of being devoured by aliens in loincloths in the dimly lit ruins of an ancient maze.
