This Endless Dungeon trailer is awesome

More On: Endless Dungeon

I haven't been familiar with the Endless Universe franchise. It happens - there are only so many games I can cram into my brain, and I simply haven't come across Endless Universe until now. But I would say that I'm familiar with Endless Universe now, because I watched this Endless Dungeon trailer three times in a row, and if this is any indication of the mood and tone of the franchise, I'm ready to dive in:

Holy smokes, the animation in that thing is incredible. I can't get enough of the haunting song - which sounds for all the world like the title track to an awesome TV show. Kinda reminds me of the theme to The 4400, actually, though that one is a little more upbeat.

Anyhow, killer trailer aside, Endless Dungeon is actually the maybe/kinda sequel to Amplitude Studio's previous game Dungeon of the Endless. Confused? Me too, and the studio isn't talking. 

"Fans of our previous game Dungeon of the Endless might want to know: Shipwrecked, again? Is this a sequel? Well, the answer is both yes and no. You'll just have to wait to get your hands on it to find out. In the meantime, here's what you can expect:

  • A brand spankin' new story in the Endless Universe: A space station that went to the dogs a long time ago. Some folks have been marooned here for decades—it's up to you to figure out what's happening, how (and if) you might get out...
  • Opening new doors for the rogue-lite genre: Behind every door is something that's nasty, new, and different. But if you've got the right turrets, the right iron for the right target, well you might just live... to open the next door.
  • Recruit your suicide squad: Round up your posse from a roster of peculiar characters and see if you can get to the core of the station in one contiguous piece. Control the whole squad by your lonesome or test your survival skills with friends in multiplayer! 
  • Crystals are forever: You're gonna mostly be concerned about the health of a rock. Which you'll be carting with you along the way. Get ready to defend the crystal at all costs!

There is no announced release date, but the Amplitude does state that Endless Dungeon will be coming to both PC and consoles.
