The game is challenging, and after seeing other reviews, I have a new found appreciation for the challenge the game has. Still haven’t beat Goo yet, but I’m learning and getting smarter with every game I play


One Major Gripe

LoganJWR

First of all, I love this game. I’m a huge fan of everything about it. It’s exactly what it says on the tin; a roguelike. Expect a lot of dying and repeating and getting better as you get further. You WILL be frustrated. Those are things I love about roguelikes. However, I have one major gripe about this game. When you have an Ankh (resurrection relic) and choose to revive, any and all bags you were carrying disappear. As with most games, you only keep what you had “equipped”. However, the deeper in the dungeon you go, the more options you get for specific item bags. These get more and more expensive and you can only purchase said bag once. It is beyond frustrating to lose all the money you’ve put into these bags. Not to mention, the one character who has a unique weapon you cannot get anywhere else loses her weapon when you choose to resurrect with an Ankh. I know there should be a penalty for dying— which is usually having to restart— but if you’ve spent money on an Ankh the penalty shouldn’t be so harsh. Especially since it allows you to keep a few other items that aren’t exactly “equipped” so to speak (such as the dew vial). It’s a great game, well worth the money. I’ve spent hours and hours playing this game and I still haven’t beaten it. I’m just a little frustrated with some of the mechanics.


Terrible

This app was originally a free one for any processor that ran something akin to Android’s OS. There were multiple clones made, all free, that gave their own nuances and innovative quirks. The fact we have to pay for a broken game is beyond ridiculous. Especially when nothing has been done in any form of support or improvement for the players.


Crashes. A lot.

I’ve played this game for a couple hours, and sadly it crashes every 15 min or so on my iPhone X. Sometimes when i unlock the screen with the game open, crash. Sometimes when i am walking around the dungeon, crash. Occasionally the game will auto save recently, and i can just quit/reopen the application and it’s fine. Most of the time the auto save is old and by reloading it i can remember parts of the map that aren’t yet revealed. For a rogue-like game, crashing is pretty bad. It can ruin a close run, or break the immersion of finding that awesome item.


Amazing Game...but crashes too frequently to play.

I’ve enjoyed many hours of gameplay with this game, until I recently got a new phone. I upgraded to the iPhone XS Max, and the game crashes every couple minutes. Sometimes I can recover my game. Sometimes I get to level 5 or 6, just to have the game crash and have to start from square one again. I absolutely love this game, and have no issues paying the $2.99 to play it on my iPhone. Though, I am rather upset that I can’t play it through without any issues like I can for free on my computer. I beg that you upgrade the game so it does not crash, as paying money for something that is unusable is downright upsetting.


Great game

I don’t have any problem with the difficulty (kids these days... lol). This game is fun. But since the iOS 12 update it’s been freezing (and not saving progress) within about 5 minutes of starting a run, and hasn’t been playable. Update: Fast response by dev fixed freezing issue. ?


Great!!! (And crashes fixed!!)

I love playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon on Android, and recently moving to iPhone I got this game first thing! The level of details of this game is amazing, and certainly well worth the $2.99. If you are a fan of rogue-likes, you will not be disappointed! I played the original Rogue on a MS-DOS Tandy 1000 PC and find this game so, so good as the original!


Amazing game BUT

kalkdkfjsks

this app is created be watabou and it is FREE on all other platforms. this company is using someone elses work for their own profit!


Game play

Darksoda

Not a bad game, but the game is not very even. It seems most of the game is just random punishment of the player. Frustration sets in quickly once you realize there is no real plan or story. Largely success is just randomness of the game and no skill on your part...


The best game to play when your bored!

This game is unique and is so intense when trying to obtain the Amulet. I’ve played this game for a long time and I’ve finally been able to play it on IOS. I want to support this game as much as I can, although this game is old. Either way, I’ve had so much fun in the recent days! :)
