First of all, things that I like:
- Open Source
- Available on most devices
- Amazing depth and diversity
- Awards tactical planning and thinking
- Active development
Things that I don't like:
- Starvation mechanic
- Thieves that steal items in a way that is eventually unrecoverable
- Many annoying monsters that force movement in one way or another
- Too many cursed items
- Regular armour too weak for level that it belongs to.
- Combining food items costs alchemy points.
I like this game very much!
I played on mobile many hours for several years now and endlessly dying but it is not even annoying!
There is so much to learn and discover in this game that it is by no way boring. Every time you die you have to start again at the beginning and you can try different characters, each has it's pros and cons. Very hard game, I didn't managed to finish it but I find it very fun and clever.
I am not a big gamer but Shattered pixel is one of my best game experience. I like it much more than all AAA games I tried and got bored of.
