ENDLESS Dungeon™ - Definitive Edition

There was a lot of effort put in to the making of this game, from the stand point of the sound design, art work, and feel of the game. Unforutanely this game is very unpolished, instead of focusing on how to not get your game pirated, and encouraging Denuvo on to your fans of the series, you could've instead invested that time into polishing this game, and creating a proper cloud save so people save wouldn't be wiped between computers, having played on the steamdeck just to find out that all of my progress was wiped, and un inaccessible while soft locking your gameplay on the second floor with a room that did not even generate a floor for the room, making us abandon the game, unstable player connections on fiber internet, stuttering and mouse issues.

Everytime I come back to this game after having not played it for a couple months, my save game is gone. It seems the only way to resolve this issue is by having to manually create a back-up after closing a session. Due to the amount of progression I have lost this way, I have to give it a thumbs down. There were many other game breaking bugs (like invisible bosses in coop), which I could live with, but this is simply game breaking. Too bad, had a lot of fun.

This is one of my favorites; I haven't touched the multiplayer. But yeah, what is there to say? Addictive gameplay, roguelite, that draw 3 -> pick 1 mechanic that everyone loves, awesome music and sound design, delicious visuals & great writing. It's good solo; I bet it's even better with friends. It's a well-designed & polished gem; I really think it underperformed on the sales... It seems like the title led many to assume this was intended to be a sequel to a previous title, leaving many fans frustrated. This resulted in significant backlash, which could be felt in negative review counts, and this in turn likely influenced potential buyers... That's my assumption, at least. I also see alot of reviews talking about saved progress being lost between installs, you have to enable cloud saving: Settings > Network > Remote Storage > Yes Poor choice from the development team to disable this by default and give this odd name.

Endless Dungeon falls short of the genre established by the original while also being a fairly lackluster top-down shooter. Compared to Dungeon of the Endless, the game ends up stripping away the decisions from the player. While not detrimental on its own, it forms a problem with strategy and planning feeling meaningless since losing player agency devolves most games into running through sessions as fast as possible. It manages to be shallower of a game while having a vastly larger development team. It doesn't seem to understand why players liked the original.

Space Saloons gets me groovin'. 🛸🎸

Not a big fan of this kind of games, but I had a lot of fun playing it. Once again Amplitude thinks outside the box and creates an unique game.
