Dungeon of the Endless
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.
In fact, the planet Auriga once hosted a major settlement of the galaxy-travelling ancestors known as the Endless. In addition, the planet was still orbited by a functioning (and well cloaked) defensive system, which sprang eagerly to life upon the arrival of the Success. Within a few minutes, the ship was nothing but a few large chunks of metal falling toward the planet.
Every set of holding cells also functioned as an escape pod, so the ship let itself disintegrate and the surviving prisoners fell bruised but (temporarily) alive and (momentarily) safe to the planet below. Safe, that is, until they realized that they had crashed through some sort of facility of the Endless, down to a sub-basement so deep and ancient it might as well be called a dungeon…

Dungeon of the Endless Review
This game has the ability to make time pass very fast. I’m thankful to the pirating community for being able to try this gem of a game before I bought it. I don’t have the best computer so it’s a gamble to purchase games, and living in a small town without any place to work has made game purchasing hard as of late. So when I was working I made sure to pick this one up to have support the authors. That’s something all of you should do, if you pirate a game and enjoy it, then buy it!
Anyway, this game is best described as a tower defence roguelike dungeon crawler. I’m not always in the tower defense mood, but when I am I am glad to have this game to go to. My only grief is the same grief I have with most tower defense games. Once you figure out a working strategy the challenge vanishes. Thankfully there are other game modes to play with, some of which don’t allow me to do my winning strategy. (Boy did my heart sink once I figured out the strategy to just breeze through the game though)
I recently got caught up in a nearly 16 hour straight gaming session with this one (which is when I figured out my strategy) and got a little burnt out and probably wont be playing it again for some time. I’m still glad to have it in my library and if any further updates come alone to freshen things up a bit more I’ll certainly hop back into it.
Oh, and one more grief is the online play. It’s best to play with friends that you know already and to communicate using skype or something. I’ve never finished to the end on any online play, someone almost always drops out after the second floor, if not the host dropping everyone immediately after game start. I once made it to the eighth floor with someone online. But what started with 4 became 2 after the third floor. If there was a way for the resources to be divided up among the players or something different than the current system it would help a lot. I’ve had games that quit immediately because someone used up a resource right away or built a module that made the host upset. All and all, unless you have friends like I said before, just don’t worry about the multiplayer.
In all if anything I wrote sounds appealing then go for it! Especially if it’s on sale. I really need to stop getting inspired to write a review right before I go to bed. I’ve been nodding off while writing this and forgetting what I just wrote. So sorry if this is a bit jumbled. It was written by a very sleepy man who for some reason, decided now is the time to share with the world that I like this game! Keep up the good work game making team guys who made this!
