They’ll try and make their way to your crystal to destroy it (and your chances of escaping!)

At this point, aliens may spring forth from the newly-opened room, as well as any unpowered rooms you’ve previously opened.

This is affected by your team members’ skills, as well as by any generators you’ve built.

Opening that door triggers the game’s turn-based strategy component of generating resources: food, industry, dust, and science (FIDS).

Have one one of your heroes open a door.

Position your team members strategically.

Let me break a turn of the game down for you: Unfortunately, aliens have a deep hunger for it. To help you do that, you cart along your ship’s power crystal, a device that runs on “dust” and can power rooms as you explore. Your vessel pierces an ancient underground complex, and you need to make your way to the surface. The premise of the game is that your team is on a spaceship of prisoners that crash-lands onto an alien world. Phew! That’s a lot to take in, and you might think those components would be a mess when mixed together, but Amplitude Studios (the makers of Endless Space) have done it expertly. Here, I’ve built defenses on the small module locations: these modules can slow monsters, do group damage, lower their defense, boost the defense of heroes, and heal your team. Large modules can be built on the glowing blue crosses. And each “turn” of the game features a (pause-able) RTS/tower defense portion, where you have to defend against alien attackers. A strategy game forms the basis for the core gameplay: you decide where to explore, what defenses to purchase, and where to place them. It’s “Rogue-like” in that there is exploration and perma-death. There’s an RPG component, as you assemble a team of characters and upgrade their stats and skills. I’d love to give you a pigeon-hole summary for this game, but there’s a lot of moving pieces. It’s time to dig in to my unplayed games, and this week began with a glorious excursion into 2014’s Dungeon of the Endless. Still in a bit of a daze, I’m discovering that despite my addictions, I managed to pick up a number of games during Steam sales. I estimate that Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and Overwatch consumed 80% or more of my gaming over that time.

It took nearly three years, but I’ve almost shaken Blizzard’s hold on my PC.

Yes, I’m biased towards “Rogue-likes,” but rest assured: “Dungeon of the Endless” is a quality game.
