![]() Since the game starts with only three heroes unlocked, this means subsequent playthroughs will only ever have at most one hero whose abilities a player will be unfamiliar with, making progression rewarding while offering a softer introduction to brand new players. This means that you will be able to select a hero after you have become familiar with their abilities and how they improve as they gain levels. One nice feature of the progression system is that a hero is unlocked by surviving three floors with them. However, hero selection should always be a matter of player preference and so this recommendation should only serve as an alternative to selecting random for a first time player. While they may not top anyone's favourites lists, these heroes develop the capacity to operate (both, level 4) and repair modules (Max, level 7) and well rounded stats. Note that the game will only choose among heroes that have been unlocked.Ī good starting combination for a new player is Deena Ratchet and Max O'Kane. Players may choose two characters to start with or opt for a randomized start. The basic game is completed after finishing the 12th floor. If the hero bearing the crystal successfully lands at the exit, the player is given some statistics for that particular round, and moves to the next level of the dungeon with whatever resources remain from the previous level, with the exception of dust which is reset at each new level. The crystal bearing hero's movement is encumbered and so the remaining heroes must either travel with the crystal to defend it, or hold off the attackers at whatever choke points may present themselves. This will prompt a large number of enemies to spawn and converge on the crystal. One hero must go to the crystal and pick it up. With enough exploration, a player will find the exit at which point they may decide to continue exploring (in hopes of finding a desirable item, or collecting more resources) or may wish to attempt to complete the level by transporting the crystal to the exit. ![]() These improvements are built using industry, but also require the room to be powered by the crystal, limiting the potential for expansion. Heroes may participate in combat, explore rooms, or boost the production of a resource if the required improvement is built.įinally, a given room has some capacity to have improvements built on them, ranging from resource modules (that increase food, industry, or science), to improvements dedicated to defence. Food is also used to heal a hero in combat and hire a hero if a new one is found and the party does not already consist of four members. All heroes begin at level 1 and may advance to level 15, which is accomplished by spending food. If the crystal's dust falls to 0, or if all the heroes are dead, the game is over. The crystal is powered by dust, which serves as both energy, and health. ![]() The player begins with two heroes and the crystal. Opening a door also serves as the main unit of time in the game allowing for resource collection. A given room may contain anything from resources, to items, to hostile units. ![]() A player explores the dungeon by selecting a hero and opening a door. You do not know the location of the exit and so you must first progress through the dungeon to find it. The primary goal of any given level is to take the crystal (located in the first area) to the exit. The content reflects the base game and remains neutral to the DLC. It has also since been updated with patches and DLC. Note: This is a revision of a guide written for the Early Access version of the game and so contains outdated images. However, this guide will not go into detailed mechanics or intermediate strategies for playing the game, leaving this for other guides by more advanced players. This guide may also be of interest to someone interested in purchasing the title and wants to know more about what the game is like (I would recommend these readers focus on the first section). This guide is intended for new players (or existing players who haven't mastered the controls) who want to know the basics for making informed decisions about what their next step will be. Like its predecessor, Dungeon of the Endless does contain a tutorial for new players, but regrettably lacks some basic information that may not be immediately apparent to a first time player. Dungeon of the Endless is the follow up to Amplitude Studios' first game Endless Space that extends the universe into a mix of strategy and RPG elements. ![]()
