You begin with two starting characters, and can recruit up to two more by finding them along the way. Your goal is to guide them through twelve floors to reach the exit from the labyrinth, with increasingly deadly obstacles on each successive floor. DOTE starts with your characters crash-landing on an alien planet, finding themselves at the bottom of a dungeon full of monsters. Here's an introductory video that I put together showing the basics of the gameplay, and another pairs of links to a longer full game played out on Livestream. While all of this doesn't entirely fit together into a cohesive whole, at the very least it's an intriguing experiment. It's a bizarre mix, and I can't say that I've ever encountered anything quite like DOTE before. DOTE features an unusual mashup of gameplay from several different genres, incorporating aspects of perma-death and procedurally generated levels from roguelike games, hero management similar to League of Legends or DOTA, resource economy management out of a turn-based strategy game, and finally tower defense gameplay as well. Decode Endless ruins to discover life-saving technologies.This is my short review of Dungeon of the Endless (DOTE), a unique indie game released by Amplitude Studios in October 2014. Build minor and major modules to hold off waves of monsters. Use scarce resources to help your team survive. Build Your Defenses: Use the Dust you gather to power the rooms. Manage the balance between ex-prison inmates and guards. Equip them, deploy them, and learn powerful abilities. Gather A Team: Form a team of heroes, each with their own strengths (and psychoses). You'll be standing up against waves of monsters along the way, discovering special events as you try to find your way out once and for all. The game is a roguelike tower-defence title which sees you and your team of heroes protecting a generator from your crashed ship, all while exploring an ever-expanding dungeon. It'll be available from 15th May with a launch discount to boot. Playdigious has revealed the Switch release date for Dungeon of the Endless, a game brought to Nintendo's platform in partnership with SEGA and Amplitude Studios.
