User Reviews for Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Everything a Mobile Game Should Be

For those who are new or unacquainted with the Pixel Dungeon variety of games, go into this game expecting nothing but with patience, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn. Evan, Shattered PD’s developer, has developed his version of this game into a well-balanced, fun, complicated yet easily understandable and satisfying game to play at any time: whether you have five minutes or an hour, Pixel Dungeon is the game to play. The game, being a dungeon crawler, perhaps isn’t what most mobile games are nowadays, but the intensity and replay-ability of this game is one that isn’t found among most. The developer himself is everything a consumer could ask for. He explains every single change he makes in the game, such as why he’s changed the spawn rate of an enemy based on data or tweaked the damage of a certain weapon in the early stages of the game. Every update adds more playability, and makes the game more fun.I’ve put hundreds of hours into this game between shifts, late at night, waking up in the morning, and everything in between. It is a wonderful stress reliever, mind exerciser, and, sometimes, time stealer. I wholeheartedly recommend that even those with no experience of this kind of game try it.

Too hard. Too frustrating. There is no fun in repeating levels 1-2 a thousand times

I loved games like this as a teenager. Rogue, Angband, all the clones. And this is a faithful one. So props for that. But it’s just too hard. You die too easily. And I’m older now. I know it isn’t necessary to lose all progress. And it’s not rewarding to lose all progress either. Yeah it’s fine to have a learning curve. But there’s just no point in not being able to save at least occasionally if you are going to create a game with purposeful balance issues and a reliance on randomness. So five stars for making a good clone. One star for making a game that ticks you off and you put down after a few days and never pick up again. The price point doesn’t even frustrate me. I’m willing to pay. I want something rewarding of hard effort. Not something that just frustrates me. So let’s average it out at 3 stars. If you are a hardcore fan of something that will frustrate most people beyond belief then this game is definitely for you. I know there’s a few out there. Dwindling every minute. “Here lies me, killed by frustration. Or a rat. Again. Holding a bunch of unidentified cursed potions, scrolls and items. Again. RIP”.

This is the best version of Pixel Dungeon

Not only is this the best version of the game, it is the most balanced. There is a HUGE amount of custom content added into the game, yet it feels like this is the official version. It is so well designed and balanced and the developer constantly works to improve. There are consistent updates that work to further balance all of the classes and add new content. Pixel Dungeon is a good game. Shattered Pixel Dungeon is 10/10 and will quickly become one of your favorites for years to come. This is probably the only mobile game I have come back to again and again for years. It never gets old. If you like dungeon crawlers or rogue likes, this game should have already been at the top of your list. Shoutout to the amazing developer for continuing to care about the community that is inspired by this game.

The Perfect Mobile Roguelike

What more is there to say about this upgrade to pixel dungeon? It’s more well balanced and has far more depth in it’s gameplay mechanics. This game does nothing crazy like other roguelikes, such as strange gimmicks or ideas of working towards potent upgrades to persist across play-throughs! Instead, shattered pixel dungeon refines the core gameplay loop of gathering knowledge and building up intrinsic skill and gives the player the ability to learn it’s complexities at their own pace. It gives you all the knowledge necessary to succeed, and it’s always up to you to conquer the challenges it places ahead of you. Thus, doing so is genuinely satisfying, and achieving mastery over the dungeon is a goal that will drive you to play ever more. It’s a mastapiece!

One of my absolute favorites!

It’s an amazing game! I’ve been playing it for a long time now, and it never gets old. I helped Beta test it, and I pre-ordered it a week ago! It’s level of depth, complexity, and beautiful retro pixel art make you want to wander the dungeons forever! Tons of weapons, monsters, magic and more, each level will always be different. As a long time D&D Dungeon Master, I enjoy this game daily. It’s turn-based action lets you pause whenever. Always new content and bug fixes, means that you can count on never getting a stale experience. However, it can feel highly discouraging after reaching high levels, with tons of epic gear and items, only to die, and start back in the sewers with little but a water skin and a knife. Keep in mind that is what gives this game its replay ability! Thanks! Have a good one and stay safe.

Epic

I love the original pixel dungeon, and have played multiple different versions people have put out from the open source. I last played shattered PD years ago and thought it was great, but I am in awe of how much they’ve done with the game to present… like wow. The amount of improvement since I’ve played it is incredible. From level design and class mechanics, to the expansion of item usage and ability upgrades. There’s so much to do, and I have barely scratched the surface so far. It’s exciting discovering what they’ve put in, and I find something new every playthrough The game was already amazing… this is next level. Take note developers… this is how you do it.

One of the best apps I have ever played

Shattered pdf is an insanely fun roguelike that I recommend to anyone who like more intense games. Every feature in this game has been polished to give the player as much freedom as possible, and every artifact or ring can be used differently each run. The randomly-generated roguelike style combined with the five unique classes adds enough replayability to the point that I have spend dozens and dozens of hours playing this game with different challenges and restrictions. Although you will initially die pretty often, every death feels fair as you could have approached encounters in a different way to increase your chance of survival. The only note I have for this game is that high amounts of challenges can make the game overly difficult (especially faith is my armor), so be prepared for that.

Great but with one critique

Great but with one critique

I love this game, it has a great premise and has amazing mechanics that make it the best mobile roguelite I’ve ever played. That being said my critique is on the length of each run. I think the runs go on for a bit too long and it’s not satisfying to have to come back to a game so many times to finish one. It also makes it feel really bad when you lose a run to a mistake, as it takes a very long time to get back to where you were. For a game that rewards patience and resource management, you get really punished for rushing to try to finish a game faster. With the consistent updates on the game, I think a long term goal of slowly making the game faster would be amazing and solve my sole complaint about the game. Thank you so much.Update! The dev decreased level lengths by a considerable amount and I would argue it is the perfect length now. Thank you so much, my love for this game has been reignited, and I'm back to runs again!Seriously I’ve never seen a game so focused on and loved by its dev before, constant updates and promise of new content make this game a must have. Please try it out!

Bro the dwarven area

I rarely make it up passed the 15th floor cause you can’t really outrun the boss there and on top of that he constantly spews poison which does seemingly unmitigated damage and the enemies in the dwarven area kill me in seconds despite having +4 plate armor and a +3 glaive which btw is the best gear I’ve been able to obtain in hundreds of runs the enemy magic needs to be nerfed seriously cause 10+ dmg every single hit when I’m on the opposite side of a room with no doors is basically a death sentence and the ghouls came back to life over 5 times trust me i counted it the amount of I had a +3 glaive, a +4 plate armor, a +1 ring of might, a +2 ring of force, a +7 chalice and 2 blessed ankhs and despite that i died to only 2 ghouls and a shaman I don’t think I’ll be able to beat this game if those meager opponents are able to smack me down like that and don’t say I’m incompetent I’ve been playing pixel dungeons for years so I’d say I’m not too bad but that area is an incompletable area for me so either there should be an easy mode or the enemies and boss at floors 15 and up need a big nerfing

Description

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a traditional roguelike dungeon crawler RPG that's simple to get into but hard to master! Every game is a unique challenge, with five different heroes, randomized levels and enemies, and hundreds of items to collect and use. ShatteredPD is also updated every two to three months, so there's always something new. ◀ Choose Your Hero ▶ Each of ShatteredPD's five playable heroes has their own unique mechanics and gameplay style.

Cut down foes as the durable Warrior or deadly Duelist, fry your enemies as the arcane Mage, or use terrain to your advantage as the stealthy Rogue or the markswoman Huntress! As you progress through the dungeon you'll earn points to spend on talents, choose a subclass, and gain powerful lategame abilities. You can turn the Duelist into a dual-wielding Champion, the Mage into a soul-sucking Warlock, the Huntress into a tanky Warden, or explore loads of other possibilities! ◀ Explore the Dungeon ▶ ShatteredPD's dungeon is procedurally generated with random layouts, room types, items, traps, and enemies. In each game you'll find equipment and collect or craft consumable items to power you up or help you out in a pinch. There is a huge variety to what you might see from run to run and region to region. As you progress through the dungeon you'll find equipment that can be enchanted, upgraded, and augmented as you outfit your hero. Set foes ablaze with an enchanted weapon, wade through enemies with upgraded armor, or gain powerful damage, defensive, or utility benefits from one of the many wands, rings, or magical artifacts. ◀ Succeed or Die Trying ▶ The Dungeon is filled with enemies, traps, hazards, and bosses intent on ending your run! Battle hostile wildlife in the sewers and caves, mad thieves and guards in the prison, occult servants in the fallen dwarven city, and maybe something even worse further down... All these hazards can make the game quite tough, but don't be discouraged! You probably won't win on your first try, but there are many tricks and strategies to discover and learn on the path to getting your first win! ◀ Over A Decade in the Making ▶ Shattered Pixel Dungeon is an open source game based on the source code of Pixel Dungeon by Watabou (first released in late 2012). It started in 2014 as a project to rebalance Pixel Dungeon but has steadily grown into its own game over the last 8 years! Features Include: • 5 Heroes, each with 2 subclasses, 3 endgame abilities, and over 25 talents. • Over 250 items including equipment, consumables, and items crafted via alchemy. • 5 dungeon regions, 26 floors, over 100 room types, and trillions of possible floor layouts. • Over 60 enemy types, 30 traps, and 5 detailed bosses to test your skills. • 9 optional challenges and over 100 achievements for completionists. • Interface modes for large and small screens, and support for multiple input types. • Updates roughly every 3 months with new content, fixes, and improvements. • Support for many languages thanks to the game's dedicated communities.
