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.
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!
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.
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!

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Soundtrack being as annoying as it is should've been my first indication with this game.
The characters all mostly play the same with a few exceptions granted via their character talents. The difficulty ramp is sudden and intense; if your character isn't built out before the first boss, you're basically screwed on the floors after that. Thrown weapon durability is right up there in terms of annoyance with literally any other game with weapon durability I've ever played, and having enemies that hurt you when you do damage to them, with no way to _mitigate_ that damage, is literally pants on head stupid.
Gave it a shot after seeing all the good reviews everywhere, they lied. Avoid it. Clumsy interface, annoying music, samey characters, annoying as fuck enemies.
On the upside, and why I'm bothering to review it at all: some of the dungeon rooms with puzzles/clever traps are actually clever. Kudos for that and the actually cool curse/inscrpition/etc system. There's a bunch of cool ideas buried in this trash heap, but unfortunately I can't recommend it. Might be worth it to pick it up on phone; maybe the crapshot UI is better there, I don't know.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
