In this segment of the video, the major differences between Endless Dungeon and Dungeon of the Endless are discussed. One key distinction is the visual upgrade in Endless Dungeon. Gameplay-wise, in Endless Dungeon, you directly control one character at a time with full freedom of movement and the ability to switch between characters, resembling a twin stick shooter. In contrast, Dungeon of the Endless does not offer direct character control, only allowing players to direct them to rooms without commanding abilities or movements. Another notable difference is in how levels are navigated: in Dungeon of the Endless, dust is used to light rooms and control monster spawns, whereas in Endless Dungeon, enemy waves appear over time rather than upon opening doors, and monsters spawn from specific spawner rooms. Powered rooms are prevalent in Endless Dungeon, with dark rooms restricting resource generator use being a key gameplay element.

In this segment of the video, the main points covered are the differences between Dungeon of the Endless and Endless Dungeon. In Endless Dungeon, rooms need to be powered up permanently with crystal shards, unlike in Dungeon of the Endless where you can power rooms up and down. Crystal shards are used for lighting rooms and upgrading your crystal bot. To obtain more crystal shards, you must send your bot to extract them while dealing with waves of monsters. Research mechanics are also different; in Endless Dungeon, you defend against one wave of enemies to complete research rather than opening a set number of doors like in Dungeon of the Endless.

In Dungeon of the Endless, food is used to heal heroes directly, but in Endless Dungeon, you must find medkits with food to heal heroes. Additionally, in Dungeon of the Endless, heroes can die permanently if they lose all health, while in Endless Dungeon, they become temporarily incapacitated. Merchants in Dungeon of the Endless accept various currencies, while in Endless Dungeon, they only accept food and items cannot be sold to them.
