What players say
Been playing the Pixel Dungeon games since I was in middle school and I still do today. Gotta say this one is the best out of all the ones I've played. 100% recommend please give this game a try.
When people write those funny reviews about "time sink games" where they sell everything and leave their families, this is one of those games for me. (luckily with less dysfunction in my life though). It has never consumed me for weeks on end. But this is one of my favorite and most played games ever, especially on mobile. I have kept coming back to it for over 10 years now. I started years ago, came to Shattered...
I adore this game, it really is the perfect roguelike. I've player almost every version of Pixel Dungeon and this is the one I've sunk hundreds of hours into across the various platforms.
