The game has 12 levels as of 1.0.15 with the exception of games taking place in the Drill Pod, which is endless. Each level takes place in a different environment (sewer, laboratory, etc...). Each pod/ship is a different experience because each one of them has special rules. For instance, the Infirmary Pod : All passive skills with health regen provide a defense bonus instead.
With the starting escape pod, the player will start with two heroes. Heroes can be unlocked after finding them in the dungeon and keeping them on the player's team for three floors. The max number of heroes on a team is four. Heroes can be used to unlock doors which essentially counts as a turn. Each door unlocked will trigger events and monster spawns from unpowered rooms. Heroes in unpowered rooms will also prevent monsters spawning in those rooms. The goal of the game is to move the crystal from the starting point in the level to the elevator. The player will have to collect dust to power a path from the starting point of the crystal to the next elevator.
While doing all of this the player will have to manage resources such as Food, Industry and Science. These are used for various things ranging from leveling up characters to trading with a Merchant.
Food can be used to level up heroes or heal them when they take damage. It can also be used to recruit new Heroes for your team.
Industry is your basic building material. This is used to pay for the cost of Modules, as well as opening certain artifacts.
Science is used for researching new and/or improve Modules at an Endless Artifact.
