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 six different heroes, randomized levels and enemies, and hundreds of items to collect and use. ShatteredPD is also updated with new content roughly every three months, so there's always something new.
◀ Choose Your Hero ▶
Each of ShatteredPD's six 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 divine Cleric, 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 Cleric into a righteous Paladin, the Huntress into a precise Sniper, 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 magical wands, rings, artifacts, or trinkets.
◀ 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. Afterward, there are optional challenges and achivements if you want to put your skills to the test!
◀ 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 10 years!
Features Include:
• 6 Heroes, each with 2 subclasses, 3 endgame abilities, and over 25 talents.
• Over 300 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 regular enemy types, 30 traps, and 10 bosses to test your skills.
• An in-game catalog to fill in, with just over 500 entries.
• 9 stackable 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.
i first downloaded this game years ago. I played it for a few days and couldnt get past floor 3. i thought the game was broken and deleted it, but not before showing my girlfriend as she has been a long time player of nethack. a few days pass and I catch her playing shattered pixel dingeon and i notice she is on level 20 something. She had been loving the game as it was a perfect pocket version of Nethack (which gave her a bit of an advantage). realising the game was not indeed busted (i was), i quickly redownloaded the game and starter practicing. we have since both beaten the game many times, each have our fav heroes, and always read the developers posts, eagerly awaiting the new updates! this has been our go to game for years now on our phones and we cannot recommend enough!
The BEST Rogue Remake on iOS!!!

I had played Pixel Dungeon for years prior to this release, which I was curious as to the name. This history of this (and its predecessor) is fascinating and worth pointing to Oleg Dolya, Evan Debenham and the Pixel Dungeon community.After purchasing and on first play of Shattered Pixel Dungeon, I felt that old aesthetic and the unforgiving nature of this perfectly crafted rogue/rogue-like. It felt massively improved, from better ways to identify unknown items, to a truly random experience each play-through. Some new plays seem like there’s items everywhere, while others seem sparsely populated; which you have to expect in a random dungeon.I think the addition of a Cleric would however be a welcome addition, but otherwise it ticks all the boxes and surpasses most if not all of the Rogue-likes i have played on iOS.
endlessly replayable

This game is well balanced and has many angles. Every game is different; not only because of the different character classes, but also many of the items lead to entirely different play styles. The artifacts, the wands, the rings, the seeds…. You will die many times before you complete the quest, but I assure you it can be done. It took me about 400 games before I first got the amulet and “won”. Then once you think you’re pretty good at it, there are challenges, which changes it all again. There are some very helpful online communities, with people who know so much about shattered pixel it’s scary. I can’t imagine how much time they have sunk into it. I have wasted far too much time on this game, but that’s not the game’s fault. That’s on me. It’s addictive.
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!
