Endurance Open Beta









Endurance is now in Beta! What does this mean? It means the game should be playable, at least for the first 3 levels, and that all the critical systems are in place.

Since Alpha 4 I have added:

New skills system.

New loot system.

New ceiling and doors.

New monsters and items (we have about 100 of each now.)

It means a lot to me to have gotten this far. I'm just one guy working on this during my holidays, so it's been a real test of endurance (excuse the pun).

How Can I join the Beta?

Easy, just download or play in your browser.

Looking for the OSX or Linux releases? They will be coming soon.

When will the full game be released?

Early 2016

This game is hard!

Game balance is something I’m spending a lot of time on. Endurance was always meant to be hard, but right now I don’t think I’ve quite got it right.

I’m sold, how can I help?

Best way to help is to follow me on the various media sites, play the game, send feedback, and of cause, buy the game when it comes out :)

What features are you expecting to add in the future?

New Spell System - The spell system is really quite bad at the moment, the new system will improve the UI and start from scratch on some of the mechanics.
