Here's how Endless Dungeon, Amplitude's colourful roguelike tower defence romp, is shaping up.

is a deliberate sequel to an accidental success. In 2014, Amplitude Studios, the French developer known for its meditative 4X games like Endless Legend and Humankind, released a chaotic blend of roguelike and tower defence called Dungeon of the Endless. Conceived in"a drunken night that was going wrong," it was developed as a skunkworks project alongside Endless Legend, surpassing all the studios' expectations when it launched eight years ago.

Your heroes simply can't shoot fast enough to stop the hordes of aliens from gobbling up your crystal-bot like a giant Ferrero Rocher. While the DNA of Dungeon of the Endless is visible in the game's structure, in both presentation and function Endless Dungeon is quite a different experience. Gone is the simple, top-down pixel-art, replaced with a painterly 3D aesthetic that makes the station's procedural gunmetal corridors pop with colour. And while there are fewer heroes than in Dungeon of the Endless, they are more distinct.

You must open doors to accrue resources, but every door you open potentially adds another enemy-spawning hive to the map.

Once Overwatch 2 arrives, you'll never be able to play Overwatch 1 againInitially, it seemed like Overwatch and Overwatch 2 would exist together in some form. if you don't end up with two separate games after you release a sequel, that's called a patch. that's because it was never really overwatch 2. calling overwatch 2 'overwatch 2' is like calling Stormblood FFXIV-3; Considering that Overwatch 2 can be barely considered Overwatch 1.1, removing the first game is logical. I mean, people could get confused and not actually distinguish which game they're playing.
