Title: The Endless setting echoes the Bakkerverse

The Endless games are a sci/fantasy mashup:

 Dungeon Of The Endless (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/08/24/endless-endlessness-pt-2-dungeon-of-the-endless/)

The endless endlessness, it never ends! In the beginning, there was Endless Space, and it was endlessly space-y. Recently, we also told you of Endless Legend, which is another 4X strategy set in the same universe, only all fantasy-fied. But let’s not forget about Dungeon of the Endless...

...The game itself is thematic and mechanical smoothie – a sumptuously blended fusion of sci-fi and fantasy, roguelike and tower defense. You’ll be able to pick from 30 different characters, all of whom were prisoners before their jail barge careened into Planet Randomized Doom in the General Unpleasantness Sector. You’ll meet other characters too, and they might give you a helping hand, or perhaps they’ll grip your frayed fingers just long enough to put a space knife between your ribs.

Just to be sure, this isn't about the 4X game Endless Space right?
I might check this out later when I'm not at work.

The specific game isn't. But my understanding of the premise is a ship from the Endless Space setting crashes into the Endless Setting fantasy world.

Just made me think of the Inchie Bros landing on Earwa.
