About the Game


A few hundred condemned criminals were being shipped to the Auriga system on board the prison hulk “Success”. While this was presented as a chance to earn back their place in society by working hard for the common good, they understood that in fact they would be slave labour, sent to colonize an unexplored planet. All they knew about Auriga Prime was what the probes told them: it had water, temperate zones, plant life, and plenty of metals in the crust.


In fact, the planet Auriga once hosted a major settlement of the galaxy-travelling ancestors known as the Endless. In addition, the planet was still orbited by a functioning (and well cloaked) defensive system, which sprang eagerly to life upon the arrival of the Success. Within a few minutes, the ship was nothing but a few large chunks of metal falling toward the planet.


Every set of holding cells also functioned as an escape pod, so the ship let itself disintegrate and the surviving prisoners fell bruised but (temporarily) alive and (momentarily) safe to the planet below. Safe, that is, until they realized that they had crashed through some sort of facility of the Endless, down to a sub-basement so deep and ancient it might as well be called a dungeon…

Unfortunately, since what appears to be the last official update of 2023, the game tends to randomly crash between levels, invalidating the "silent" saved game, thus preventing you from "continuing" when relaunching the

Dungeon of the ENDLESS is one of those games that feels completely overwhelming at first, but once everything clicks, it becomes incredibly addictive. It mixes roguelike mechanics, tower defense, dungeon crawling, and

This game feels like a hidden gem. I admit that the game play is not for everyone. It is a rogue like tower defense game. It is challenging even if the two choices of difficulty are "Too easy" or "Easy". Interesting

This is a fun game with good graphics, setting and mechanics. It works well up until you realize it offers almost zero progression. In itself its not a bad thing (see Noita), but this game doesn't reward knowledge much

Great game. I don't play it anymore, got tired at around 60 hours and I would open it once or twice a year after that. It's relaxing and engaging at the same time. Intense, but very manageable. It's like a tower

Enjoyable game. Do not take it seriously. You will lose many times before fate decrees you shall win. I enjoy playing this one with friends even after a decade.
