That game isDungeon of the Endless. Itâs aâŠweird game, one that mixes rogue-like dungeon exploration, RPGs and tower defence and somehow gets it all to work
You play a team of space-farers who crash on an alien planet, and have to escort a crystal through a huge dungeon and get it to the surface. That dungeon is randomly-generated, though, and to get through safely youâll need the help of automated guns (and other helpful gadgets). Only the number of rooms in the dungeon you can use them in are capped, and itâs kinda turn-based in that you can only advance your research/experience every time you open a new door in the dungeon andâŠ
Itâs a lot to get your head around â the gameâs tutorial even ends with a shrug that youâre going to die a lot â but once it starts making sense, this is a game quite unlike anything youâve ever played. Confident in what itâs messing with, assured that itâs going to work, brutal in the way it just doesnât give a hit how you feel because itâs going to kill you at a momentâs notice.
It also has some great pixel art. You should check it out.
