Dungeon of the Endless rockets to Steam today

Amplitude Studios' roguelike Dungeon of the Endless left the Early Access nest today, launching in full on Steam. The game entered its alpha phase on the platform in December as the developers' next "Endless" game, set in the same universe as Endless Space. In it, players guide a crew of heroes through randomly generated dungeons, gathering resources and fending off foes to survive. It also features cooperative multiplayer for up to four players.

The retro-styled PC and Mac game costs $13 (€12) for the Pixel Pack or $20 (€19) for the Founder's Pack, the latter offering additional ships and heroes. Those looking to upgrade from the Pixel Pack to the Founder's pack can do so for $7.20, a 10 percent discount on the standard upgrade price. The Founder's pack also features half-off coupons for both Endless Space and Endless Space: Disharmony. Head past the break for a look at Dungeon of the Endless' launch trailer.

THE ENDLESS UNIVERSE EXPANDS WITH DUNGEON OF THE ENDLESS AVAILABLE NOW ON STEAM

Amplitude Studios' Retro-Style Dungeon Defense Game Re-defines A New Generation of Rogue-likes on PC

Paris, France – October 27, 2014- Award-winning indie developer Amplitude Studios today announced its highly anticipated rogue-like dungeon defense game Dungeon of the Endless is available now for PC via Steam. The charming, yet brutally tough, genre-blending title is now complete and packed with robust features, from new spaceships (that affect strategy) to new jungle levels, a four-person cooperative multiplayer experience and a rich set of interweaving storylines. Dungeon of the Endless is available now on Steam: €11.99 for the Pixel Pack or €18.99 for the Founder's Pack.

"For nearly a year we have been listening to our community's feedback on Steam and the relationship of creative support has been fascinating, challenging, and enlightening. The release is just a new milestone in this process," said Romain de Waubert de Genlis, Creative Director at Amplitude Studios. "Dungeon is a totally different game for us, one that defies the definition of a standard rogue-like, and to a certain extent, categorization altogether. It's equal parts rogue-like, RPG, tower-defense, and strategy game."

Dungeon of the Endless constantly challenges gamers to re-think their strategies with little room for error yet with lots of room for growth.
Dungeon of the Endless Game Features Include:

Do or Die Gamestyle: A distinct rogue-like do-or-die playstyle encourages teamwork in the face of constant waves of brutal, hideous monsters.
Never the Same Game Twice: Each time gamers play, they experience randomly created dungeons that compel them to adopt new strategies.
Strategy is the Key: Players learn to search and deploy defenses and manage lean resources such as Dust, Food, Industry and Science to keep their team prepared for the next onslaught of enemies each time a door is opened.
A pinch of RPG: Form a team of heroes, equip them, level them up and deploy them to earn powerful abilities.
Interweaving Storylines: The dungeons aren't the only things that are endless in Dungeon of the Endless. It offers overlapping and even intimate relationships between characters that are always fun and often surprising.
Cooperative Multiplayer: For gamers who like to play with others, the two to four player cooperative enables players to strategize best routes, work together to share resources, and team up to kick all sorts of alien ass.
Known for its deep, engaging, and gorgeous 4X strategy games, Amplitude Studios won the venerable 2013 Golden Cube and Community Choice Unity Awards for Endless Space and recently released the 4X fantasy-based game Endless Legend.

ABOUT DUNGEON OF THE ENDLESS
Dungeon of the Endless offers a unique blend of rogue-like toughness, RPG-light building options, and dungeon-defense strategies – all blended into a totally new game experience. Presented with a retro 2D look using modern 3D graphics and lighting, Dungeon of the Endless enables players to equip a team in single-player, or up to four people in cooperative multiplayer, to gather resources, construct defenses, and explore an infinite number of dungeons in an effort to reach the planet's surface.
Players will collect resources just like those found in Amplitude's popular 4X strategy games Endless Legend and Endless Space (Dust, Food, Industry, and Science), strategically using them to ascend to the next level of the dungeon. If all goes, right they'll even reach the surface and see the light of another day.
