Release: 2014 Developer: Amplitude Studios Publisher: Sega Link: amplitude-studios.com
A strategy roguelite about escaping an alien-infested spaceship should not be relaxing, and yet I’ve always cultivated a Solitaire-like calm when playing Dungeon of the Endless. Amplitude Studios is, fairly, better known for its excellent 4X games: Endless Legend, Endless Space, and, of course, Humankind.
In between all its expansion and exploitation antics is this lesser known but no less excellent run-based strategy RPG from 2014. Amplitude is currently reimagining the space station escape game in upcoming tactical action game Endless Dungeon, a name more in line with other old hits, but even so it will always be Dungeon of the Endless that I routinely return to for a bit of strategic relaxation year after year after year.
Even when push comes with uninstallation.
