Critic Reviews


CGMagazine - Ridge Harripersad - 8 / 10

The visuals, music and game mechanics for Endless Dungeon were magnificent achievements, but the technical aspects should be prioritized before the official release.

GameBlast - Farley Santos - Portuguese - 8.5 / 10

ENDLESS Dungeon offers a unique and exciting journey, combining tower defense, action, RPG and roguelite elements in an immersive sci-fi environment. Strategy plays a crucial role as we face hordes of enemies, assemble turrets and carefully manage resources. However, the lack of variety in environments and events throughout runs can lead to a feeling of repetition, damaging the experience in the long term. Furthermore, ENDLESS Dungeon is a valuable experience for fans of tactical action games and roguelites with its creative strategic gameplay and well-developed atmosphere.

GamesRadar+ - Jon Bailes - 4 / 5

Endless Dungeon is an entertaining, polished, and finely-tuned roguelike, expertly blending action and tactics to fill each trip with dozens of impactful micro-decisions. While visibility can be an issue during packed battles, presentation overall is bright and clean, and supported by some classy character design. Co-op play is the icing on an already tasty cake.

GamingBolt - Ravi Sinha - 7 / 10

While its meshing of genres may not be as avant-garde as when Dungeon of the Endless debuted, Endless Dungeon is still a fun roguelike experience.

God is a Geek - Mick Fraser - 9 / 10

Endless Dungeon is a fantastic roguelike with beautiful visuals, a charming cast of heroes, genuine humour, and a comprehensive, well-designed meta-game.

Hardcore Gamer - Kyle LeClair - 4.5 / 5

Endless Dungeon will have players coming for the unique blend of rip-roaring action and tower defense, but what should keep them around is the impressive and lovable cast of characters, along with their various stories to become invested in.

IGN - Justin Koreis - 8 / 10

Endless Dungeon is simultaneously a great roguelite, a great twin-stick shooter, and a great tower defense game.

Impulsegamer - Stephen Heller - 4.8 / 5

Endless Dungeon manages to create the perfect mix of tower defense, roguelikes, and twin-stick shooter to create a deep, yet accessible adventure for the ages. One of the best co-op games of 2023.

Press Start - Edward Darling - 8.5 / 10

ENDLESS Dungeon is an exceptional example of genre-crossing excitement that offers players an ever-changing adventure in rich surroundings. The love, attention (and Dust) that Amplitude Studios has clearly poured into this title elevates it to a worthy addition to the already-fantastic ENDLESS universe.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Brendan Caldwell - Unscored

A very satisfying tower defence roguelike, except the "tower" has legs.

Saving Content - Harry Harrison - 3 / 5

There’s a good game here in Endless Dungeon, but it’s missing the heart and humour that was so prevalent in Dungeon of the ENDLESS. While changing up the mechanics enough to make this a new game it also somehow lost the aspects that made it’s predecessor so good to begin with. I didn’t have the capacity to make it through a full run of the game, something that will take anyone time as it’s designed around multiple attempts, but I definitely feel as though I have seen everything Endless Dungeon has to offer currently. Hopefully it’ll receive updates to increase the variation to the objectives and find some new ways to keep the time between waves engaging.

Screen Rant - Leo Faierman - 3 / 5

Still, Endless Dungeon’s strong presentation, characterful sci-fi culture, and unique cooperative approach remains intact. It’s a game of on-the-fly decisions and intimidating combat encounters, with success often separated from failure by a hair. Those qualities should draw in the more patient and masochistic roguelite aficionados, and better still if they have a like-minded, agreeable team in tow, the players committed to see the treacherous paths to the reactor all the way through and come back for more. Ultimately, Endless Dungeon offers a smart and strategic co-op challenge with minimal hand-holding, but its structure feels all a little too delicate to deliver up the next real roguelite obsession.

The Game Crater - Jade Garrett - 8 / 10

Endless Dungeon is a wonderful addition to the roguelite family, with every aspect of the game full of detail, unlockables, upgrades, and lore that continue to keep you entranced as you dive into the Endless universe.

The Games Machine - Marco Bortoluzzi - Italian - 8.5 / 10

Endless Dungeon is a very good roguelite that, while it can be enjoyed solo, shines much more brightly when played cooperatively.

TheGamer - Ryan Thomas Bamsey - 3 / 5

I have a love/hate relationship with Endless Dungeon. When it’s good, it feels excellent. The early-game progression is incredibly satisfying, filling out quest logs and completing pages of upgrades is rewarding, and it looks and sounds sublime. On the other hand, the lengthy runs take a toll, and once you get into the late game, the rate of progression doesn’t cut it anymore. Suddenly, the time invested doesn’t match up with the strength of the upgrades you can acquire, and the game feels very much like a Sisyphean task as originally intended, a punishment.

Try Hard Guides - Erik Hodges - 9 / 10

ENDLESS Dungeon takes a familiar, lore-rich universe and throws it into new territory. The clever combination of roguelike and tower defense elements creates a unique spin on both genres. The wealth of characters and enemy varieties means you always have something cool to shoot at and someone cool to shoot at it with. While the game is stronger with friends, multiplayer and solo campaigns will surely delight with brutal gunplay and banging Western sci-fi tracks.
