Excellent, but one glaring flaw. In my opinion, this is the best mobile game. It has a lot to offer, and it also has probably the greatest character balancing out of any game I’ve played…. But this is a VERY unbalanced game. To be honest, it seems like I only get far in some runs because of dumb luck. Many of the areas are also extremely painful and annoying, and the caves might just be one of my least favorite levels in any game. It’s a good game, but GOOD GOD it’s quite unbalanced.

Excellent Job Dev’s 🥹. I can’t express how an excellent job the devs have done to this game. As a vet from the first Pixel Dungeon, this game has been one of my top favorites to play. This game is challenging and has every level is replay ability with randomized generated dungeons each and every run. New content is being added and I would love to see this game go above and beyond. ‘One does not simply leave Pixel Dungeon’ Hats off to Shattered Pixel 🎩 👋🏻

I punched God in the face. This game isn’t for the faint of heart. I have started over a 185 times and I haven’t won once. On average expect to spend 1-3 hours on a play though once you routinely start getting to the lower stratum. PACE YOURSELF. This game is not a rush in and face the hordes survival. It’s a game of caution and determination. Remember that “people die when they are killed” there’s no save button, there’s no reloading, you get one chance to make it to the final boss and when you do. Make sure to punch that fallen God right in the eye.

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”.

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.

Massively Improved Gameplay. I’ve played the original on multiple devices and I had the opportunity to play the beta of this hame before it came out officially. I have to say that the updates to this game over the previous versions and the original game are so much better. It’s still a difficult game, so if you’re looking for the challenge that the first game presented, you’ll find it here. The addition of secondary inventory’s and having the items sorted is welcomed over the normal pile of stuff you usually find in other games like this. There are still some bugs here and there, but nothing game-breaking as far as I have found.

Really good for the price. This game is actually quite very challenging to start. When dude says get used to dying he wasn’t playing around. After a while I started to learn how to use equipment properly and then alchemy. The game has infinite replay value as the dungeons are never the same. Even more replayable as you unlock new characters. All in all a great challenging dungeon crawling with a splash of alchemy. I look forward to new updates as they come out.

My Desert Island Game. I love rogue-likes, and I’ve always liked Pixel Dungeon - but it did a bad job of explaining the mechanics, and I never improved and lost interest. Shattered Pixel Dungeon takes the time to explain the game, while adding tons more to find, figure out, and acquire. This is now in my top 5 games of al time, earned a permanent spot on my phone - and my heart. If you like dungeon crawlers and rogue-likes, buy this now. Support this dev. And let’s discover together where this fresh masterpiece can go.

Nostalgia and Goated Game. The last time I played pixel dungeon was almost 7 years ago, getting back into this new Shattered version is even better then I remembered. I was really hesitant because of the $5 price tag, but I love this kind of game and know it’s gonna be a while before I actually defeat it making this $5 more then worth it

Favorite game on mobile. I have been following this game for years. It carried me through early high-school but then I forgot about the game. Now almost 8 years later I get to experience it all over again and better than ever. I got it on my pc months ago and when I saw that the iOS port was coming soon I couldn’t wait. I pre-purchased it the moment I was able to. This game makes any boring moment enjoyable.

A major upgrade to the original. Let’s be honest, the original had some serious balance issues. Even for a roguelike, the difficulty was absolutely crushing, leaving a players at the mercy of RNG. Underneath these balance issues, however, was a very solid game with fun risk mechanics. This version/sequel has addressed the difficulty problems. You won’t be getting murked by a crab two rooms into the first floor. That will probably happen around level 5. This is the game the original so wanted to be. If you’re a fan of rogue likes you’re going to enjoy this game.

Great game, so we’ll done. This game is so much fun. The developer has put so much thought into how the game works and how much fun it is. There is so much depth and so many things to discover. I’ve played so many games in my life and I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a rogue like with the complexity and balance. The game is hard and you are going to die. But keep playing. The more you learn the more power is on tap for you to use. This is not a game that you will get bored of in 10 minutes. This is a game that you can pick up and play for a few minutes or a few hours. There is so much here that you will come back for more over and over again. I don’t see getting tired of this for a long time.

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!

Definitely worth the money. I’ve been playing Shattered Pixel dungeon for around a year now, it’s a great remix of the original game but adds a lot of more unique features, characters, and ways to play. It might seem challenging at first with managing hunger, health, and equipment. But after playing and using your brain, you start to know what fights to take, what seeds to use, when to retreat. Would definitely recommend if you’re undecided!

Refreshing take on a classic. I’ve been a huge fan of pixel dungeon and have played most of the available iterations on the play store. I’ve probably played thousands of attempts and only won a handful. Shattered pixel dungeon is the most thought out and balanced version of the game I’ve ever played. The addition of the skill tree and more complex alchemy allow for compelling replay-ability. The developer removed the dominance of the “chance” factor by allowing the user to customize characters and utilize resources in completely new ways. Pulling that off while maintaining the randomness of potions scrolls and maps is impressive. I’ve seen this game evolve and this iteration seems like the natural conclusion. Don’t play shattered pixel dungeon as your introduction to this game or you will be disappointed and dissatisfied by the other versions.

Fantastic game. I’ve only been playing for a couple of hours, but it’s clear that the depth is there. It’s a game that begs to be explored, and discovered. Like any good rogue lite there’s a true feeling of adventure with high stakes. Very rewarding game so far. Thoroughly enjoying it. I’ve got a laptop right next to me with a bunch of great games on it, but right now I’d rather be on my phone playing this one. Get it, invest some time and attention on it; you will not regret it.

The best mobile game I’ve played in years. I don’t think I’ve had fun with an RPG like this since Baten Kaitos on the GameCube. Not only that, it’s the first procedurally generated RPG that has really challenged me. I probably died 20 times before I got past floor 5. This is definitely a game where you really need to think, and carefully plan your routes and pay attention. Otherwise you could fall prey to a certain container or get ambushed. A little bit of luck too, but it’s still great fun. Advice to those starting: Don’t sleep on the Warrior as his shield buff gives him really great survivability. And if you can get a sigil that blocks damage he becomes a massive tank. If you haven’t played this game. Play it. It’s honestly better than some $60 dollar games out there, and that’s saying something.

Well made turn-based rogue-like.. Being a long time fan of turn-based rogue-likes of this kind, I find the game to be exceptionally enjoyable. Well worth the price for the countless hours you could get out of it. Each class feels unique and distinct from one another and their skills and passives really stand out when you have them. Definitely earns its 5-star rating in my book.

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!

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.

I never write reviews but,. This is easily the best and most engaging app i’ve ever played. It’s got tons of lore, the difficulty and seeming randomness makes it’s endlessly enticing even after dying. I’ve played 88 games probably 20-30 hours in and only gotten to level 19 and the third boss. Seriously played clash royale for years, clash of clans, battle brawlers, ad games, BTD, plague, game pigeon, zeronia, nothing even comes close. I actually haven’t found a game that mimics the brilliance and idea, I recognize certain aspects across all games but this one is just OG. also no ads ir things to buy which is awesome for me 😂

Pixel Dungeon Rocks!. Been playing for a few years now and took a break only to come back and find that the game is still being supported with new updates! Probably my favorite rougelike of all time, easy to get into and hard to master. It’s not a huge time sink but has a plethora of interesting, fun, and unique content. Love this game

Definitely worth it. Honestly one of the best mobile games that I have ever come across, it can seem a little bit expensive, but trust a random stranger on the internet when I say that you will definitely get your money’s worth, the game is still being updated, and so there should be some new features coming, there are a few cons to it,( but from where I’m standing it one of the best parts of the game) and that is the fact that is very hard, a lot can depend on luck, but there is also a whole bunch of strategy when it comes to winning. That’s all I wanted so say, and I am very satisfied with my purchase

Excellent IOS Roguelike. I’ve played this game since its TestFlight release, and it’s truly one of the best roguelike experiences available on IOS. It’s fairly hard, which will force you to try new characters and strategies to reach the final floors. Each character is well designed, and the developer is consistently working on reworking or tweaking existing items and systems in the game. One of the few apps I’ve happily spent money on in all my time owning an IPhone.

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.

Amazing. This game truly is amazing. It’s somehow simple and complex at the same time. It exercises the mind. From trying to find efficient ways to progress thru the dungeon, to using every part of ur inventory ti the fullest. Utilizing alchemy to progress, and finding unique ways to deactivate traps and defeat enemies makes the game a real brain teaser. One thing I would absolutely love is a multiplayer feature. I would literally pay to be able to play with my friends that play the game as well. So here’s asking the dev to add a multiplayer function

Best Paid Game App. It’s the perfect blend of being entertaining while also remaining a mobile app. Unlike a lot of other mobile apps, they either get boring quick or there’s so much on the app that you feel like it would be better suited as a controller type game. I’ve played this game ever since it first came out as regular Pixel Dungeon and I love how it is still getting updates. It has just the right amount of fun to keep you entertained for a while and also keeping you entertained for a long time. I recommend it highly.

Solid. Spent the better part of my 33rd year of life playing this game…. I’m 35 now… and rediscovered it… this takes up more of my life than I want to admit but it’s such a great combination of gaming ingredients… I look forward to every update. Only critique is I have, has been in the market, I’ll sell sell something then go to use a scroll of upgrade and then it’s sold..because I’m an idiot… maybe use a different layout for store things..

Excellent roguelike experience.. I’ve been playing SPD for about a year (with 2 previous years on vanilla) and Evan has done an excellent job of making well-ingrained additions to the original PD - removing some of the most annoying experiences including degradation works wonders and makes you want to play over and over again. It’s always enjoyable to discover patterns in how the dungeon works, and there is always the help section in the game if you want to use it. Easily my favorite mobile game. 5 stars.

Beats the Original. I don’t know the history of PD too much, with the first one being made by another guy seemingly and this one coming out some time afterwards, but let me tell you once thing I know for sure : People complaining that this game is too hard have obviously never played the original. This new one is still fairly difficult, requiring smart usage of your resources to get far, but it is far less unfair than the original. You can get far in this game with just your smarts and making good decisions, where late game was only promised in the original if you were incredibly lucky. Literally superior to the original game in every way I can think of.

Just what I’ve always wanted!. Oh man, I’m so hyped for this game. I’ve been playing Pixel Dungeon on my phone(s) for YEARS but I’ve always wanted to play Shattered PD. Up until now it wasn’t available on iOS at all unless you jailbroke your phone. I’m extremely excited to play this game, with all the features and depth and amazing replayability that I know and love. The dev has done some wonderful work and I greatly appreciate finally being able to play this excellent game!

Enjoyable!. While not completely perfect, this is a fun and wonderfully challenging roguelike. It has a lot of interesting ways characters grow and change over the course of a run but definitely requires learning and prior planning otherwise a rude/mean/unlucky encounter or trap will cause your poor character to become crab/piranha/statue/fly swarm food. Definitely worth the time I’ve sunk in and the price point.

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.

Greater than the sum of its parts. I’ve been playing this dang game for years and probably will for years still. It’s one of the few things I’ve supported monetarily before it had a price-tag, and I was more than happy to purchase it when it did. Thank you, Evan, for keeping up with it as long as you have.

Amazing game that still receives frequent updates. I’ve been playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon for years, and to this day, it still keeps impressing me. Whether it’s the steady updates that expand on the game in meaningful ways, the endless amount of builds available to make, or the lack of traditional, predatory microtransactions most mobile games are plagued with, this is a game you can’t go wrong with. I feel pretty comfortable calling this one of the best mobile games to ever be released, and for $5, it’s worth every penny.

Great game. I’m not usually into these types of dungeon crawlers, but it’s quite enjoyable. It passes the time while I’m out and about. Especially when waiting for things like doctors appointments or my next shift at work. I haven’t beaten it yet, but I’ll get there. One issue I have with the game is the locating of secret doors. The magnifying glass just tells me there’s nothing unusual, then at random chance my character will notice the door. Again, very fun game. I would definitely recommend it to people.

Garbage game that relies on not getting screwed by the rng. Half the game is begging your character not to miss. The last area enemies easily shred through your health in 2-3 hits and armor means nothing. Had the best run, fully optimized, and died immediately cause one enemy can take away half your health in one shot. Not worth then money, the game is just too unfair. Not being able to do anything as enemies just destroy you’re health bar is the most frustrating thing, especially after all the hard work you went through just to lose cause you’re attacked by 3 overpowered enemies at once.

A bit too hard. This game is absolutely challenging and addicting, however there are times where I find my self deeply frustrated, due to really bad luck especially in combat. Finding new items is a little easier but no still very hard. This game would be so much better if somehow it made your gameplay slightly easier. Only just a tiny bit, so it still stays challenging but not to the point where you feel cheated.

A healthy and fair RNG game.. Even though the foundation of this game is rolling a dice with every action (besides moving and even then, hidden things) it gives you plenty of tools to balance it out. It has a lot of items, combinations and play styles, you are not sure if the rogue you started with will turn out a brawler, a mage or a classic assassin. Challenges really up the difficulty in a fair way if you like limit testing yourself, and makes you appreciate every game mechanic and item you come across to boost your success chances. It will be hard for starters, but once you get the hang of it you’ll see how fun this game is. It forces you to think and to improvise!

Very cool! Great addition to reg PD.. I’ve played regular old PD for a long time and have always wanted more from it. I eventually found out that PD can be played on pc, but I was disappointed because I didn’t have a pc to play it on. I found out from a quick internet search that shattered PD was the best option for a more fun and interesting PD. I’m so glad Evan decided to put shattered PD on mobile because I’ve never been able to play it as I don’t have a pc. This game is seriously fun, and I’ve only been playing it for like 20 mins. I haven’t found any gripes yet about the game, but I will be sure to leave another review if I do. Thanks Evan! - Henry

The Only Game. This game has fulfilled my need for punishing dungeon crawling. It’s like a pixelated Dark Souls, with witty dialogue that harkens back to my favorite RPGs. As a person that will spend years learning a game, replaying it hundreds of times, I had no idea what I was getting into, and when I finally looked up Shattered gameplay after losing hundreds of times in the first level, the game unfolded like a flower unfurled with the stinger of a bee. There is more than levels to the depth to this game, with alchemy being much deeper than you first notice, and by the time you figure it out, there are more and more layers of the game to perfect.

Best Game Ever, thank you developers. I’ve been playing this game since I was 12 on my kindle and now I’m playing it on my I phone at 22. I loved the game then and my love for the game has only grown, I would recommend this game to anyone, and if you’re not enjoying it you’re doing something wrong in the game or just with your life because I would die for this game. Again thank you developers for continuing to make new content and always updating, I appreciate y’all so much and feel like I grew up with y’all even tho I don’t know a single one of you. Much love, and continue being awesome. -Samuel Salas

Best 5 bucks I ever spent. It took me hours to beat, upwards of 20, and not a second was boring or repetitive. Worth more than Minecraft PE, BTD 6, and Polytopia, all phone games I’ve spent money on. This has gotten me through plane rides, car trips, 3 in the morning I can’t sleep schedule, all the things. The turn based play is perfectly implemented and feels great, the game is well balanced and few deaths feel unfair or undeserved, and even after you beat it once it’s still as fun as it was. I can’t really play hard games like dead cells or any other staple rougelikes (or lites, idk the dif) and I already forgot where I was going with this. But point is I absolutely love the turn base, letting you stop to think, making it a near perfect mobile game, and overall making it a knowledge based game over mechanical skill. I first played the original around 7 odd years ago on my chrome book that had the google play store, and just recently decided to look for it again. Sadly, the OG game was taken off the App Store (I actually saw it before it vanished, when I was debating to spend the money or not) so I looked for a subreddit, found it and asked about shattered. Someone told me it is the same game with more and they were right. Best part is more is still being added every day. 100/5 stars, literally could not complain if I tried, and kudos to the devs of shattered, you guys are genuinely improving the world.

Awesome Game. I’ve had the original Pixel Dungeon on my phone for years, and just today I found Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I bought it without a second thought, and after just making it to the 5th floor on my first try, I’ve already noticed a HUGE improvement from the base game. I can’t wait to continue playing and see what else the game has in store. Awesome job devs!

Is a deep roguelike in a mobile app possible?. Wow, the developer has soooo many thoughtful UI innovations that offer the complexity I crave in a deep roguelike, with a *clean* mobile UI. Like extra contextual shortcuts placed only when necessary. Proper, consistent popups. Innovative new inventory system that offers the space needed for a deep roguelike, with balance & simplicity required for mobile. I have died a little more often than I would like, though not nearly as frustrating as NetHack. New systems and discoveries are introduced in a fun way, which I love. I can’t say enough for the thoughtfulness of this devs UI design. Definitely worth the price of admission, even for a stingy economist like me.

This is my desert island game. As someone who used to play Pixel Dungeon a lot before the durability/degradation mechanic was added to that game, and who just tried Shattered Pixel Dungeon recently here, I’m so glad to discover that durability/degradation is NOT in Shattered (other than to a limited extent for throwing weapons). Shattered is way more like the Pixel Dungeon I remember, and that I got so absorbed in back in the day - but with all kinds of cool extras that I’m still discovering!

Amazing game - Lots of Replayability. This is the best roguelike I’ve ever played however the sound doesn’t work at all on my ipad or iphone. This happens with the original PD as well but has never happened with any other game or app. It’s still a great game but not being able to hear anything is a real bummer. Edit: I’m a dummy. My phone was indeed in silent mode. I totally forgot there was a little switch on the side. Anyway thank you for all the amazing work you’ve put into building upon PD. And thank you for finally updating the music lol. My dream list for new features would be a new game + mode or an endless dungeon mode. I find that although the talent system and armor upgrade mechanics are great, the game is almost over by the time I’m using them. Still a 5 star game. 👍

Great game!. For those of you who even know what Nethack is, this is a pretty good modernization of that game. While, in my opinion, nothing will ever trump the original Nethack, this does come close to that feeling. Randomized potions, scrolls, wands, dungeon levels. Replayability is the best part of this game. What absolutely baffles me though, is the lack of an option to have a D-pad. In a game where every single move can matter, and one wrong move can lead to you taking a hit that will kill you. Navigating through narrow corridors can be painstaking when you accidentally tap somewhere you didn’t mean to go, and end up circling around somewhere. Or end up moving in a fight when you meant to attack, an take a hit without giving one, putting you behind in the fight. I will most definitely change this to a five star game, which it can be, if this gets changed. Having the option to enable a D-pad for single movement at a time, while holding the direction to keep going, I feel should be essential to a game like this

One of the best games on the App Store. Been playing this for years now, and I’m surprised to see that this game has gotten little attention for what it is. This rogue-like mobile game offers has everything from randomly generated floors to actual lore, including an array of items, weapons, and abilities that give the player a variety of options in trying strategies that can help them reach the end of the game. Even after thousands of games, the infinite possibilities and perfectly crafted difficulty scaling on top of challenges constantly has me coming back for more. This is the best $5 I’ve ever spent.

The only game you’ll need. A true “what would you bring to a deserted island” game. Endless replayability, endless strategy. This game reminds me of another I loved years ago called “100 Rogues”, while managing to add so much more to the mix. Easily worth the price; you’ll get more value out this game than anything out there. Props to the developer of this gem. This is the type of intelligent gaming worth promoting and supporting.

The best rogue-like out there. I first played Rogue ascii style in the late 80s, and almost 40 years later Shattered Pixel Dungeon has reminded me how fun these games can be. Far superior to the original Pixel Dungeon, this version should be a no-brainer purchase and should bring you endless dungeon runs full of loot and death. Enjoy!

The perfect iPhone game exists!. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but my hand is killing me! I am playing this game so much my hand hurts holding my phone for this long!! Honestly more game developers especially for the platform need to look at this game to see how you can make deep interesting games on the iPhone! I’ve wanted a game like this for so long on the iPhone. There are obviously other RL’s but none manage the balance needed to create an accessible but challenging game for the iPhone! Seriously top job!

A more enjoyable and refreshing roguelike. Better than the original version of pixel dungeon, this version fills the roguelike itch and it is incredibly well done for a mobile roguelike experience.

Good fun hard game. Just spent the last day or two figuring out how the game works. This is game is hard but rewarding when you get further than you did before. You can play in little 5-15minute bursts, die, then try again later. Worth it!

Excellent Pixel Dungodn. A great rogue like. For those aware, probably the best fork of PD out there. Still receives great updates too.

Love it. The perfect rouge-like game for iOS with an active developer. Please make permadeath optional. As an example, death instead reset progress back to start of that level.

Great game but missing sound effect on IOS system. Hopefully this can get updated

classic rpgs live!!!. I spent my whole life trying to recreate the excitement of finding Castle of the Winds on a 3.5 floppy disk at school. Finally, my life is complete

Way too difficult to enjoy the game. I know it is a rogue like game but death comes to easily within 2-3 minutes of playing the game. Come on, make permanent death optional otherwise there is no point starting the game from fresh over and over and over again! Lots of potential but let down massively with having to restart the question every couple of minutes. If this is not fixed I will have no choice to delete this game

Hard to put down, great game. Good challenge, great variety.

Amulet of Yendor…says it all…sort of. Somewhat similar to the old-school legendary rogue-like that started it all: Nethack for DOS. Pretty solid intuitive and enjoyable dungeon crawl. Recommend if you haven’t had your Nethack fix in a long while, or if you’re new to this type of RPG dungeon crawling game that is never the same each time you play. Yes, you die only once and start all over. Yes, the scroll and potion names are the same as in Nethack. As are shops, graveyards, and other. But then this game takes a different direction, which is refreshing and keeps the game simpler than old school. There is lots to discover about the game and deep dungeons to explore. Highly recommend it.

Bloody tough. You will die the first 5 or so times... or 15 like i did before beating the first slime boss

Love this game. I have been playing this game for 10 years. Never been tired of it

One of the best game out there imo. I rarely ever had this much fun playing a game. It’s really well made and addictive lol. you can play it for days and it’s gonna be different every time. I love it, great job!

Good game hooray. 🗿

Excellent!. Très amusant! Beau dans sa simplicité visuel et nuancé dans sa complexité de jeu

If you like rogue-like games this is for you. Great game. Absolutely worth the price of admission.

Very challenging and fun to play!. I absolutely love this game, the difficulty is just right☺️

What a gem!. For any rogue fan out there. Look no further. This one is simply excellent!!!

Amazing game. I’ve spent more time on this app then I’m proud to admit

Must Have. Great game with hundreds of hours of gameplay. With traveling a lot for work and downtime during the day it’s a very engaging game to keep your mind busy. Game always being updated and excited to see what comes next.

Coffee break game. It should be listed as a rogue like coffee break game. Fun waste of time game, it should at least have a “learning” interface that “remembers” what you’ve found. Much time wasted dying during item tests because you have to get the items used.

Great roguelike. Classic turn based dungeon crawl. It reminds me a lot of RuneKeeper in the way you have to discover what all the consumables do.

Stellar phone game!. Its not a port of an old pc rpg, its not a dumbed down version of some classic game with a clunky interface, its a straight up well designed mobile roguelike. Doesnt try to deliver a “console experience” or imitate more popular games, doesnt put up a flashy front to hide a bad core gameplay loop. No micro transactions, you can adjust the UI scaling and camera zoom at will, and it controls very intuitively. Its super addicting, easy to grasp, hard to master. Does what it says on the tin, and does it well. I hope this game ~takes off~ tbh. Devs deserve the support.

Can you please fix the quick bar. It won’t let me put more than one item on the quick bar. Great game though.

yesssir.. absolutely great for the simple price of 6.99$ if you’re a fan of rouge likes this is definitely the game for you. sucked to many hours in this game and always come back for more.

Better than the first Pixel Dungeon.. If you liked the first game, this is a no-brainer.

Great Sequel. Loved Pixel Dungeon so picked this up and was not disappointed. If you like rogue likes this is a great game to spend time on flights.

The best game ever. It’s true

Stellar game!!. Best roguelike available on mobile. By far.

Simply outstanding game.. I played the original Pixel Dungeon and a few of the remixes when I was younger, I certainly rememberer enjoying shattered in particular. After seeing that this version was available on the AppStore I immediately bought it. The 6.99 fee is more than fair for a title this great. It’s an excellent take on an already very good Rouge-like game. I absolutely adore everything about this project. 5 stars. I’d recommend this to any fans of the rougelike genre, or RPGs in general. Will be picking this up on steam when it releases too.

10 years strong. From pixel dungeon to spd I’ve literally spent the better part of 10 years playing this game It’s amazing, great time killer! It is NOT easy be any means but when you get the hang of it you will fall in love

Good iPhone game. No gimmicks

Incredible. EASILY the best roguelike available on mobile, finally on ios. if you enjoy roguelikes at all, you'll love this game, simple enough that it can be played on a phone but deep enough to keep you sucked in for hours at a time. well worth the price, 10/10.

what an amazing game. i had pixel dungeon like 8 years ago and i loved it so much and i was so glad to be able to find it again. easiest 5 stars i’ll ever give

Approved by mr goo. This is good game. Hard.

Great Work Evan. I always wanted a sequel to Pixel Dungeon, this already feels like some awesome DLC and I’m looking forward to seeing how it improves.

One of the classics. Honestly, just get it. It’s, hands down, the best roguelike I’ve ever played. There are a lot of Pixel Dungeon forks/variants out there (although none but the original available on iOS), but this one (Shattered) is the best of them by far, it only by dint of the fact it is being actively updated with new content all the time. The dev is diligent and reliable, and has been for years.

Simple and enjoyable. Most enjoyable turn based game I've ever played.

Too unforgiving, cheap tactics. Expect each game to be like this: dodged, dodged, hungry, dodged, game over. As you can see, evasion is too overtuned, resulting in unfair deaths (despite playing flawlessly) because of RNG. Enemies constantly dodging attacks to create artificial difficulty is cheap, rage-inducing and is therefore not a game I particularly enjoy. It doesn’t help that this game is quite difficult for the casual player, and over-levelling to try and mitigate this is pointless since characters are starving after 2 minutes (again, this is overtuned). The weapon and character stats are surprisingly balanced though and throughout my 20 hours of playing, I found that all characters were viable in some way. I would give this 2 stars due to how stupidly overtuned enemy evasion is and hunger going down too quickly, but there are zero ads, so it gets a bump up in the rating.

The quintessential Rogue-like. An absolutely fantastic adaptation of the original and deserves a place on anyone’s phone that even remotely enjoys rogue-likes. A premium game with loads of content and no micro transactions. What a breath of fresh air. Thank you devs and great work!

Pretty Solid mobile RPG. I got this game and haven’t been able to stop playing since, regardless of how many times I die. It always draws me back in wanting to understand it better and keep learning

Great Dungeon Crawler. Love the game, can’t put it down. I really enjoy the pixel art style and the music. Very fun RPG elements, love the talents, the variety of both items and enemies is really substantial. Definitely worth the purchase on iOS and will but it again in Steam.

Hard but fun!. It’s great for playing 5-10 mins here and there when I can. LOL sometimes it’s less than a minute when I die from snakes in the 1st minute. Still, I keep coming back for more.

Worth the wait. I’ve been playing this game for years as a Java program on the PC. Now that it’s come to iOS, I’d say it’s the best five dollars spent - and better than the old one! The perfect rogue like for casual players who want depth and portability.

A rare instance where an iOS roguelike feels natural. This game is amazing. I love rogue likes, bue the App Store doesn’t have many that are as fleshed out and user friendly as this one. I liked the original pixel dungeon, but this greatly expands the game to near perfection. It scratches the roguelike itch.

Excellent Game!. Shattered pixel dungeon takes the source material and simultaneously improves and expounds upon it. I have played it on my pc for years, and even now, it is still an excellent game with updates that show care and attention. 10/10, still playing even now.

Extremely good game. This has been one of my favorite games for years on end and the dev manages to keep making it better and better somehow. This is in my opinion one of the best games made in a long time and best maintained and developed.

This is the spiritual successor to 100 Rogues. 100 Rogues was a game I played on my iPod Touch back in the day. It was a blast to play with a ton of replay value. Shattered Pixel Dungeon expands on the same wacky dungeon crawler fun. I love testing undiscovered potions to see what they do or upgrading items =) amazing game. Very addicting.

One of the best mobile games there is.. It’s an actual game. You could easily spend 40+ hours dying and replaying over and over. The four classes are varied and every run is very different because of the rougelike nature. Definitely worth the 5$.

5$ is an absolute STEAL for a game of this caliber. 10/10 game, very few like it. Even fewer that have as much creativity and replay value. 5$ gets you a game you’ll come back to for years whenever you have time to idle.

Better than the original. If you’ve played the original pixel dungeon, this will feel familiar yet more polished and slightly less brutal. If you’re new to it, it’s still a very challenging game with high replay value. Good stuff!

its alright, and its the only pd game on ios. unfortunately shattered has grown ungracefully, adding odd artstyle changes where they werent needed. was pretty good when it stuck with the original artstyle, and it would be pretty good if the main gameplay was more stylized but the original gameplay graphics with the new music and ne character art is a bit jarring. would be nice at least to add an option for the original music but as it is, i enjoy most of the gameplay additions but still prefer sprouted pd at this point as it adds to the game (albeit very differently) while retaining the original artstyle which has a certain charm that this loses. i love pixel dungeon btw, one of the best games out there period.

Good but still room to get better :). I like this game a lot! But I think it could use a slightly difficultly tweak to make equipping the first tier of gear easier? Also the sewer snake seems like it has an over high dodge rate?(But that might just be me) but yeah maybe making the characters have different strength levels could make the game just that bit easier:) still a great game!

Finally a real game. No pay-to-win, no micro-transaction, no gotchya mechanics, just an all around fun dungeon crawler. A breath of fresh air, in a sea of corporate garbage, a game made for gamers. If people supported more games like this, mobile games would be looked at in a much brighter light than they are. Keep up the good work!

AMAZING GAME!!!. I’ve been looking for a game like this for so long and I’ve finally found it. The identification system took a bit to get used to but after I understood it it turned out to be really fun I highly recommend you give this amazing game a try definitely worth the money 10/10

No permanent tome of mastery??. Taking the “tome of mastery” out even after beating the 2nd boss is kind of a deal breaker for me. Getting past the 2nd boss is challenging enough but to get absolutely nothing for your efforts afterwards kinda takes the replayability out of it for me. (Edit: I know it’s not gone entirely but I’d expect to still have it and not grind all the way to the 2nd boss every single time)

Solid net hack clone. This is a great game for being able to jump in and out of. It’s rich deep and engaging. It isn’t exactly a net hack clone but feels so similar it’s hard to put it in another category. Very well done. Super looking forward to further development!

Best!. One of the best games on the store, a lot of well thought and fun mechanisms but not overwhelming. You can tell the developers have good taste Absolutely not pay to win, i haven’t seen a single pop up with the store I highly recommend it

Great time!. lost track of time playing, always a good sign. doesn’t play itself & doesn’t throw micro transactions at you or ads. support good games & support small developers. just give it a try if you like classic dungeon crawler.

Great Game!. Didn’t think this was my kind of game, but now I can’t stop playing it. It’s a love/hate relationship because this game actually challenges you but gives just enough to want to keep going.

Shattered pixel. Great game i played the original for a long time then just found out about this version last week on my phone confusing at first but very rewarding upon grasping the game making potions and alchemy are the hardest to wrap my mind around but in time it should all mesh

Amazing. I’ve played this game for a very long time before there was even a chattered version this game just keeps getting better and better definitely worth the 4.99 you’re gonna rage quit a few times but once you start learning it gets more fun and dying is half the fun!

Needs an “easy mode”. I like this game and have played a lot, even read various guides and watched some videos, but I still die before level 15 most of the time. For casual gamers like me there should be an easy mode. Not super easy but maybe 15% easier so it doesn’t feel impossible.

Perfect for pick up and play or to grind. Love how this saves every time u make a move, combat is simple, gameplay is very good and can be done with one hand, huge amount of variation and challenge. Endless gameplay and the perfect game to play for 6 min or 60 min. Worth every penny!

Good game. Pretty cool game, the different kinds of loot and level system are some of my favorite parts, they remind me of enter the gungeon. but needs more content for spending 5 dollars, after beating the bosses and escaping there’s nothing else to do so looking forward to what gets added.

Best mobile game !. This game is so challenging. Requires real thought behind every move and the consequences are heavy. Requires a solid strategy and many tries. That combined with the lore and trying to discover all the different weapons, armor, rings, etc make so addictive.

Brilliant. I absolutely love this game. It’s unique, challenging, and a whole lot of fun. An added bonus is there are ZERO micro-transactions or ads after purchasing (really hard to find nowadays). Excited to see where the game goes! A++ to the devs.

If you played the original, you won’t be disappointed. Major improvement in gameplay and balance, map generation is awesome

Fantastic portrait mode roguelike. I’ve been playing this both on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and my iPad Pro with the magic keyboard and it’s FANTASTIC. My only wish would be for it to have cloud saves between devices. Fantastic work!

Music!. Yooo!!! I enjoyed this game from when it was free that I decided to buy it from the apple app since I switched to Apple 😅 I also was wondering if you could please tell me how to use the OG music because I really like that better to be honest!! Pleaseeeeeee and Thank you!!!

Taxing but cool.. I’ve not played it much but it’s definitely a challenge. Lots to learn as you progress, but I’m significantly better after just a couple of hours of play than when I started

Shattered pixel dungeon review. What I loved about the original PD is here. There are no added features that seem to offer depth and more gameplay styles. Too early to tell if this is a masterpiece as the original, but already, at level 5, I know this game will entertain me for some time.

So wonderful. Can’t get enough been playing for years best turnbase pixel rpg out there 100 % so many in game items and unique mobs… though game is challenging that is what makes it so good and learning the ropes feels like a very rewarding experience not many masterpieces are available on mobile like this

Awesome but…. An amazing game roguelike dungeon crawler. The only thing that could make it better if there were easy medium and hard. For example easy has more scrolls of upgrade and less enemy health, medium is the regular game with normal enemies, and hard less scrolls and more enemy health. Please consider my idea and have a good day.

Good upgrade. Good upgrade from the original. I like that often, the puzzles you have to solve will have the right tools on the level. So you can start to identify treasure, but there’s still always a risk you’ll drink the fire bomb or throw and break the strength potion :)

Fun, Outstanding mobile controls, Deep game!. I’ve been hoping for a Shattered PD release on iOS for years! This is far and away the best-feeling actual roguelike I’ve played on mobile. Intuitive and clear controls, attractive aesthetic, fun and intriguing mechanics! I’m in love.

A friendlier Pixel Dungeon still capable of intimidating feeble-minded players.. I’m taking off one star because no rouge-like RPG that so perfectly meets the hand-holding expectations of today’s youth merits 5 stars. Save if it ends with a pixelized Sir Patrick Stuart whispering his email and the proper etiquette for arranging to have tea with a knight of the United Kingdom. Presumably, one would offer to fly out for a visit, an impropriety which would be gently, but firmly, corrected.

Definitely worth your time. Over all a great game, the developer is still developing the game when most thought it would end after a short, they came out, at least in my opinion but the game has come leaps and bounds by 100% recommend this game to anybody that has the free time to play it!

True potential. This is a great time passer, I remember playing the original version when it was free a while back in high school. This game is incredibly simple, but has the potential to be something significant.

Pixel. Good game you dye a lot but it makes you want to keep playing to do better. Just enough challenge to keep it enjoyable and enough reward to keep you motivated. Also a game that any age group could play. Different characters for different styles of play and fun and easy unlocking mechanisms.

Opinions. I feel like I’ve grown with the game since the OG PD, and this one takes the cake. MPD was revolutionary… all I gotta say is, the new character has some bugs still with switching weapons, ran into it the other day and lost a decent run, other then that the games amazing, and I’m so glad it’s on IOS NOW‼️

Casual RPG player loves this game!. I’ve played this game on and off for years, usually for a quick game to play on breaks. It’s always kept it’s charm as great alternative for someone like who don’t always have a group or the time to play a RPG. 💜

Love the work. I’ve been playing this game since I discovered it on the kindle fire almost 3 years ago or something every update has good sides and downsides it’s been a year or so since I was able to play it I love the work that has been put into this game by far my favorite

Exactly what I’d been looking for!. Shattered Pixel Dungeon is awesome. I’ve been looking for years for a mobile game that could scratch the same itch as DCSS (sadly still no iOS mobil there). SPD may not have quite the scale of DCSS, but it’s a perfect fit for mobile and the controls are super polished for games that traditionally rely on a million hot keys.

Thai game is great. This game has changed so much form when it first came out that it feels like a completely different game. The art animation is great its challenging and rewarding and so much content that just makes you want to play more and more. I definitely think the price is well worth the fun you will have.

Pixel Dungeon 2. The OG developer made PD open source, presumably in the hopes that something like this would be made. Its Pixel Dungeon, but expanded in all directions (variety of enemies, items, settings, and different mechanics have been tweaked to enhance quality of life). Highly traditional roguelike (which nobody makes anymore) and it’s very welcome.

Shattered Expectations. I played the original game for a long time and when I learned there was an open-sourced revamp of it, I was a bit skeptical. But, after finally beating the first boss, It’s an entirely new experience and has me hooked!

The best dungeon crawler in the app store!!!. Hands down this the best rogue like dungeon crawler on the ios! It’s addictive and you’ll loose track of time in great gameplay! Plus, this game is constantly updated! You won’t regret downloading it! It’s worth every penny!

Good game. Fun and surprisingly complex dungeon crawler / rogue like game. I am a dozen or so runs in and just beat the first boss. Takes a while to learn how items act and how the enemy AI will interact with them. Newbie tip - if you are drinking random potions be sure to stand in water so the fire that you end up drinking will not kill you.

Awesome game.. Honestly one of the best games on iOS. I really appreciate that there is no microtransactions, and that the game can be played offline. While it can be frustratingly hard at times, I find the game weirdly addicting and have already dumped a good handful of hours into it. Would definitely recommend.
