Paris, France — December 11, 2013 — Award-winning indie developer Amplitude Studios opened the door today to Dungeon of the Endless, the studio’s first rogue-like dungeon-defense game integrated into the popular Endless Space universe, with a live playable Alpha version on Steam’s Early Access program store.steampowered.com/app/249050. The Early Access version, still in development, offers a glimpse into the game’s eclectic mix of team-building strategy and resource management, brutal combat and deep exploration. It is available via the base-level Pixel Pack and the more robust Founders Pack on Steam with bonuses for Endless Space and Endless Legend.

Dungeon of the Endless is a rogue-like dungeon-defense game offering a retro 2D look with modern 3D graphics on PC. Players will build and equip a team, gather resources and construct defenses, and explore an infinite number of dungeons in an effort to reach the planet’s surface. The tough hybrid title plays entirely differently than the 4X game Endless Space, but keen observers will notice ties between the two, as each is set in the Endless universe.
Each time players start a new game, they will experience a totally new, randomly generated map, collect resources just like those found in Endless Space (Dust, Food, Industry, and Science), and battle an armada of alien enemies all in the attempt to escape the dungeon.
Dungeon of the Endless features (*Many features offered here will be revealed in stages throughout the continual updating process of Steam’s Early Access program):
- A distinct rogue-like do-or-die play-style that encourages teamwork
- Countless battle scenarios against a brutal horde of hideous monsters
- Randomly created dungeons for a new experience each time
- Team creation, management, customization, and combat abilities*
- Technology and resource management abilities including the skillful handling of Dust, Food, Industry and Science to keep one’s team alive and prepared for battle
- Module creation to stave off enemy monsters
- Many exploration paths on the planet of Auriga featuring Endless ruins that provide life-saving technologies*
