How it feels

A methodical and unforgiving dungeon crawl where each permadeath run demands careful turn-by-turn strategy to survive procedural depths.

What players say

Players love the addictive roguelike loop but widely agree development has stopped, and most recommend playing the actively-maintained fork Shattered Pixel Dungeon instead. The difficulty is brutal, especially the final boss, and a few report a persistent cursor bug.
