Dungeon of the Endless
In Dungeon of the Endless, the player takes the role of the survivors of a prison spaceship, its escape pod having crashed to the surface of a strange planet. To escape, they must take an energy crystal through several floors, each floor filled with a number of dangerous creatures. To help, the player can have their survivors explore the randomly generated levels to collect resources as to enable power to various rooms and construct turrets to fend off the enemies when they move the crystal from its starting point to the elevator to the next floor.
What it feels like
Sustained pressure of defending against waves while exploring creates edge-of-seat vulnerability throughout.
What it's about
Crashed prison spaceship, alien planet setting, and sci-fi aesthetic define the world.
How it plays
Defending the generator and crystal from waves of monsters via turret placement and room power management is the central mechanic. Gathering and budgeting resources to power rooms and construct defenses is essential to survival and progression. Players command a team of survivors with distinct roles, positioning them to explore and defend.
How it looks and sounds
Deliberate pixel-art aesthetic contributes to the indie roguelike identity.
How it's structured
Rogue-like structure where each run through procedurally-generated floors resets on failure, with progression between attempts. Core to the experience: each dungeon floor is algorithmically generated, ensuring no two runs are identical. Descent through successive randomly-generated dungeon floors with an elevator serving as the floor transition system.
