Shattered Pixel Dungeon is Evan Debenham's fork of Oleg Dolya's Pixel Dungeon, which was originally released in 2012. Shattered kept expanding after the original stopped receiving major updates, adding years of balance changes, subclasses, items, enemies, and interface improvements.
Does Shattered Pixel Dungeon have a final boss and a real ending?
Yes. Like Pixel Dungeon, the goal is to descend through the dungeon, survive turn-based roguelike encounters, and claim the Amulet of Yendor.
What classes can you play in Shattered Pixel Dungeon?
The game is built around classic Pixel Dungeon-style classes such as Warrior, Mage, Rogue, and Huntress, with later specialization through subclasses. The appeal is that each run changes through random floors, unidentified items, hunger, traps, and equipment decisions.
Where can I play Shattered Pixel Dungeon?
It is available on mobile platforms and also has PC releases, including Steam. The major 1.0 release arrived in 2021 after years of active development.
