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 once every two or 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!

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Introduction:

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a roguelike dungeon crawler video game inspired by Pixel Dungeon. It features randomly generated levels, permadeath, and a wide variety of items, enemies, and classes. Players navigate through the dungeon, battling monsters, collecting loot, and completing quests to progress deeper into the abyss.

Gameplay:

At the start of each run, players choose from four classes: Warrior, Mage, Rogue, or Huntress. Each class has unique abilities and playstyles. Players explore the dungeon, fighting enemies in turn-based combat. They can collect items such as weapons, armor, potions, and scrolls to enhance their stats and abilities.

Levels and Bosses:

The dungeon is divided into 26 levels, each with its own unique enemies, traps, and challenges. Players must navigate through each level, defeating the boss at the end to progress to the next. Bosses are powerful enemies with unique abilities that require careful strategy to defeat.

Permadeath and Difficulty:

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a permadeath game, meaning that if a player dies, they lose all progress and must start over. The game features multiple difficulty levels, from Easy to Insane, which adjust the enemy stats, level layouts, and item availability.

Classes and Skills:

The Warrior is a melee fighter with high health and defense. The Mage can cast powerful spells but has low health. The Rogue is a nimble thief with high evasion and stealth. The Huntress uses ranged weapons and has abilities that focus on pet management. Each class has a unique skill tree that allows players to customize their abilities.

Items and Enchantments:

Players can collect a wide variety of items throughout the dungeon. These include weapons, armor, potions, scrolls, and artifacts. Items can be enchanted to improve their stats or grant special abilities. Players can also find special items called "runestones" that provide permanent bonuses to their character.

Quests and Secrets:

In addition to the main dungeon, players can also encounter quests and hidden areas. Completing quests rewards players with items, gold, or experience. Hidden areas may contain powerful items or secret bosses.

Community and Modding:

Shattered Pixel Dungeon has a vibrant community of players and modders. There are numerous mods available that add new classes, items, enemies, and game modes. The game is also open-source, allowing players to create their own mods and contribute to the community.
