  • Endless Dungeon reviewed on PC by Justin Koreis. Also available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.
    It requires an almost brash confidence to mash up a twin-stick shooter with a tower defense game, and then further mix that into a sci-fi roguelite. But somehow Endless Dungeon pulls it off, blending them all seamlessly into a great package that strikes just the right balance of action, strategy, and rewarding progression. It can occasionally be frustrating when the random elements stack the deck completely against you, but strong persistent upgrade options make each run still feel like you’ve accomplished something. With a great cast of heroes, a deep roster of monsters, and stellar co-op, Endless Dungeon is an audacious blend that’s worth opening that next door to find.

    the Endless games are some of the most fun I've had while gaming. You can tell pretty quickly after picking up an Amplitude title that they love making games. Highly recommend if you like roguelikes and don't mind difficulty

    These guys did do a 2D sprit game called "Dungeon of the Endless" which is very similar to this back in 2014. It's worth checking out if this game appeals to you as it's a great game and it's cheap.

      If 8.5 were an option that would have been the score, it's very much between an 8 and a 9. Generally the rule of thumb if it isn't "definitely a 9", then it's an 8.

    Deep Rock Galactic, Warframe, Left 4 Dead, Orcs Must Die, Sanctum, Risk of Rain, tons more out there have proven that a damage dealing main character works well with both roguelite style elements and tower defense. This doesn't seem like brash confidence as much as it seems like natural progression of the genre. Tower Defense is barely a genre on its own anymore anyway; when was the last time a pure tower defense game came out?

      @_itattracts when you use the bow, throw the spear or shield? Move with one stick and have multidirectional aim with the other stick. That's the core of twin stick shooters. Usually from a top down or isometric perspective. The perspective is important. Gears of War is a third person shooter and Call of Duty is a first person shooter. They both use one stick to move and one stick to aim, but the perspective is what makes them different.
