    Shattered pixel…hands down

    Rouge like rpg, with miles of depth. Can’t recommend it enough. It’s paid, but relatively cheap

      Seems to be free on Android. Thanks for the recommendation though, seems fun from my first run ☺️

        Be careful of using potions you don’t know (test out in water)

        Don’t use equipment you’re not strong enough for or you suffer penalties

        Check out !pixeldungeon@lemmy.world for more info

          If you pick up a cursed armor or weapon and aren’t sure if it’s worth cleansing, throw it at an explosive trap, or throw a bomb at it. An un-upgraded item will be destroyed, while an upgraded one will not, and therefore may be worth using a cleansing scroll on.

      Free if you get it from github or F-Droid. It’s also open source, which I consider a plus

      Yep. I’ve sunk probably 60 hours into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Fantastic/infuriating roguelike. I play with an s pen. Way better than a finger.

        I’ve played 530 games, so whatever that works out to. Ascended with each subclasses. Some people take the game to the next level with their dedication and nerdery

          Jebus. I’ve played about 60 games. Need to beat it with the dualist. Then I’ll have a win from each of the 5 classes. Game has one heck of a learning curve to it.

            Duelist is my favorite class right now. Started with the mage though since he’s probably the most forgiving to play.

            Huntress is brutal to start with but gets really strong late game.

              Huntress only took me like 5 tries to win with. Got some great items that paired well with her. I’m having a real bad go of it with the dualist. Been getting wrecked.

                If you find a sickle early, use it - it does a lot of damage and it’s bleed is solid. Similarly the scythe is broken. The flail can 1 shot people if you know how to use it.

        I’ve been playing off and on for years, but can’t get past about level 20. I suck so bad at the game but love it

          Ouch. Umm…start with mage and dump all your upgrade scrolls into the staff for a while. Then when you get a tier 4 or 5 armor, put like 5 upgrades into that.

      Pixel Dungeon and hence shattered pixel Dungeon are both based on a totally open sourced computer game called Brogue or BrogueCE (Community Edition) nowadays

      It’s not on steam, its just free on the web. Anyone who likes pixel dungeon should check it out
