Sega and Amplitude Studios are offering Dungeon of the Endless for free on Steam until July 27. This offer comes out before Endless Dungeon debuts on October 19. You can also grab both DLC packs for free, but they are limited in supply. The game is a mix of roguelikes, classic RPGs, squad tactics, and tower defence, where you have to defend your spaceship from enemies in a random dungeon.

Endless Dungeon is still a hybrid game, but it's also a twin-stick shooter with a "roguelite" progression and a multiplayer mode. You can play with two friends or solo. The game will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. If you pre-order the Last Wish Edition, you can join the closed beta in September.

'Humankind' brings 'direct touch' to Google Stadia on mobile

Touch controls on 'Humankind'

Amplitude Studios' strategy game, Humankind, will be bringing a new touch-focused control scheme to Google Stadia. "Direct touch" is designed around multitouch finger inputs, similar to what you get with traditional mobile games. It's a feature currently unavailable on Stadia on your smartphone as it requires a Bluetooth controller or gamepad overlay.

Humankind will also feature Stadia's State Share feature, which gives your friend a chance to pick up where you left off in a game just by sharing a screenshot or video clip with them. With this title, you can use a feature called "Leave Your Mark," where you allow your friend to play through your same world, find the ruins of your civilization, and compare achievements as they play.
