Would be good. needs local coop.

I am a 40 year old father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game.

I am a single father for my son who is now 10 years old. My son recently started playing Dungeon of the Endless.

In less than a week, he has already played more than 20 hours.

It was terrible for me, because it was already hard enough for me to spend time with my son.
because he was always with his friends or watching YouTube videos.

So I decided to create a Steam account to play with my son. I started playing but it was my first time playing a video game since the 90s so I was pretty lost. I asked my son for help and we spent several hours together playing this game.

I liked it as it was the best time I have had with my son since my wife died. Playing video games reminded me that there is fun in everything and it brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside of the house.

Awfully balanced and frustrating in an unsatisfying way. Far too easy to mess something up in a single instant, like accidentally pressing on another room with a character on operating duty or missing instances of low health. If you don't follow a whiteboard of 'meta' then you just get steamrolled by the monsters. A game like this that expects you to lose this much would benefit from a between-runs upgrade system, but there's no such thing - the opposite, even: upgrades to your towers are all lost once a run is lost, and a loss can come so quickly and non-negotiable that the sudden wipe of progress is a total gut-punch every time. And all that aside it just feels weak to play: lack of sound effects to power-ups, visually noisy and noisily mushy, annoyingly slow to move around characters when you want at least one to remain in place elsewhere, level-ups feel weak and so do most item stat boosts. You'll feel like you're on a good, powerful run and then on a later floor something will bash down a door and the game will just decide that you've had enough fun and squash you. I did not enjoy this P.o.S. game.
