Pixel Dungeon

I am a longtime fan of Roguelike games for desktops, and I have been looking for a mobile app that captures that kind of experience for quite some time. Pixel Dungeon is one of the best I have found so far. While it necessarily lacks the depth and complexity of a desktop version, it does a great job of capturing the spirit of the genre in a more compact package, with an easy to use interface and a very challenging degree of difficulty. Those reviewers who complain that the game is too difficult and that it doesn't give you all of the gameplay information up front have obviously missed the point of this genre. Discovering the hidden secrets and tricks of the game via multiple humiliating defeats is the very heart of Roguelike gameplay. When you finally beat the game, it feels like a real accomplishment. Or at least I assume that it will. I'm on my 49th play, and I just made it to level 11 and died. And that is a very good thing.

This game is a Roguelike game which is something to spice up your gaming experience. The game is intended to be very hard as the items you get are completely luck based so you may get garbage or something really good. Most comments say they cant get past the third floor, they most likely didnt even try a fourth time. It took me till my 66th game to beat and it felt amazing. When you start out the game seems mostly luck based but the more you play the more you realize and find out hidden strategies. For example instead of running to enemy and getting hit first you can wait for it to come to you giving you the opportunity to strike first or you can run through a door with the enemy behind you then getting a 100% hit chance on it because the enemy has to open the door instead of defending itself. I would recommend this game if you want a challenge and want to truly master it.

As a fan of Rogue Likes, I love this game. As a short fused person, I hate the crashes. They are very frequent, and very unpredictable. Sometimes I can get to the 6th floor perfectly fine before a crash, and other times, I can’t get past the first floor for 30 minutes because of crashes. Crashes wouldn’t be so much of a problem for me, but the problem is the game doesn’t save my progress, so I have to restart after every crash. I WANT to play this game more, but I am so frustrated with the crashing, I feel like there’s no point in playing it if I can’t make any real progress. I will hold out hope that you guys care about this game enough to update it for iPhone X. Thank you for the lovely game, but please update it! 😍😬

Many complain that this game is too difficult, but I feel that's exactly what gives it it's charm. The game forces you to think up strategies in order to defeat enemies and traverse. It Is not purely luck based. I beat the first boss with a dagger, using mostly potions and seeds which are EXTREMELY common. There are other complains about the levels being too short. They're anything but short if you actually take the time to explore them. The game is so creative and just overall epic. Only complaint is to nerf the degrade system and add possibly unique enemies that are rarely encountered, with their own badge and everything. Add more items, too. Items are awesome. If you like a challenge, this game is for you

This a a wonderful game! I have beaten it a couple times and it never gets old! The warrior is the best character in the game in my opinion, he is the easiest! Food gives him health when eaten and plus strength potions are already identified! Each potion on each floor usually has a use as well as keys! Make your level is the same exact number is the floor you are on or higher, if it is low, it will be extremely difficult to match up against the monsters. The game gets difficult when you get past the caves, i nearly skipped all the floors, well at least floors 20 + then get to the final boss and win the game! Scrolls of magic mapping help a lot in the very end!
