I've had this game since 2013 and it's really come a long way. This is one of the few completely free games (no ads!) that are both professional and enjoyable. Thanks to the developer for not only making a great game but also making it open source for the modding community. I check in every once in a while looking for fresh iterations

I'm surprised that this game is this fun. Already finished this game 3 times now, each with different subjob. one of the best rogue-like i ever tried since castle of the winds. Replay value is huge because your item build, the dungeon, and your luck will never same, also there is a badge and challenge system. the number of job and mastery is also pretty balanced. The only thing I annoyed at this game is the equipment detoration feature :/

First time I best was 100+ tries. 2nd time 200 tries. Now I can take up my phone and just make and complete a game in a few hours. Love the challenges which force you to think outside the box. Also,for people who claim that it's all luck,keep in mind that you can get extremely low luck and still win. Yup,game takes knowledge AND skill. Don't say that its 100% luck.

Welcome to pixle dungeon an amazing game which can keep you busy for hours. I'm not going to spoil the game if your new but I'll just say, SPOILER WARNING the sacrificial flame (or whatever that is) is an awesome feature, probably my favorite so far! Now that's out of the way, please if your reading this watabow (I can't remember your name ever sorry!) Here's something all of my friends want out of pixle dungeon, 1.Thirst. 2.a new class 3. Infinite dungeon 4.more potions/scrolls. Thank you for a good game

First things first: if you find a way to conserve food, take it. Sometimes you will be spending a long time on a floor and starving is a common death. (Also, go to settings and activate second quickslot) This game is very fun, being able to drag you in for a hour at a time. But, thanks to it saving every move you make, you can stop at any time. There's a massive level of customization in playstyle.

W70%

As an avid player of the original ASCII graphic game Rogue by Michael Toy and Glenn Wichman, I think it's safe to say that Pixel Dungeon is more of a Rogue clone than a roguelike. That's a good thing though because everything that made the original compelling is here as well. For anyone that ever enjoyed the original Rogue game or similar games like Nethack should try this game.

D70%
by D####:

New patches involve new ways to kill your way through the dungeon but monsters remain the same. "Scroll of wipe out" shouldn't exist... I understand that these changes make playing more enjoyable for beginners but they affect the lategame way too much.

T70%
by T####:

Quick question: Are all of the scrolls SUPPOSED to be randomized? It makes writing them down trying to know which one does what very frustrating. Especially if you're going to give each one their own names and glyphs. I'd like to eventually be like "Oh, cool, 'MANNAZ', I needed to enchant this scale armor..." BUT THEY'RE ALWAYS DIFFERENT unless I'm just not that observant...though my list has a bunch of erase marks on it...

C70%
by C####:

Those who like spending hours running into solid walls just to make a little more progress will LOVE it. Not a casual game. This one of the most faithful rogue style games I have ever played. Plays smoothly, though it doesn't hold your hand at all.

Y70%
by Y####:

The areas are just tooo hardvas it continued. I died like 40 times before killing the first boss. And when I got a great equipment I was like "i'm not going to die" then in the end of a large room filled with plants, a fire elemental came... well there goes the equipment...

T70%
by T####:

Super fun game, it's a great time waster for when I'm waiting for an appointment or some other event. Biggest problem is the durability on weapons and armor. The game is so much harder now that you can't just rely on a good sword or hammer all the time. Battle mage isn't as good either. I don't hate the idea but I think it should at least be an option to the player if they want to play with it as a factor ot not. Besides that great game.

J70%
by J####:

This game just... Blows my mind. Among one of the best apps I've ever played. and its for free, too! Pixel dungeon is a very well made dungeon crawler game. And don't even get me started on the difficulty. Getting through 25 floors without dying once? Piece of cake!

T70%
by T####:

More the game was updated, worse the quality was. There were so many bugs that were not exist in older versions, such as : keys don't generate, killing the first boss made you have achievements such as Amulet of Yendor obtained, last boss killed, and unlocking challenges and huntress. I honestly say that the remixes of this game are better.

B70%
by B####:

Excellent graphics, spectacular gameplay, even the music is great! It has a eerie feel to it that keeps you wondering what's next? I'm amazed that such a great game doesn't have more downloads! Encore! Haha, it's made even more challenging by the fact that, if you die it's game over. The lack of save is a surprising twist, that makes you even more determined to win!

T70%
by T####:

I would have given this 5 stars had I reviewed it prior to item durability being introduced. This is a great example of an extremely gifted programmer who is an absolute moron when it comes to actual game mechanics. I had a +6 Ring of Evasion and a +7 Warhammer, and no way to repair either one, so I died. What a bunch of fun.

Z70%
by Z####:

This game is infuriatingly hard, to the point where it's not even fun anymore. The graphics are nice and gameplay is smooth, which is the only reason this is getting two stars from me. It needs a save or checkpoint system really badly. Oh, and if you play at night - which I usually do - the game is EVEN HARDER. The lowest I was able to get is 4, so you be the judge of that.

No ads, continually updated,great fun. A perfect roguelike for your Android device. Really do consider donating to this Dev,the game is worth a few quid at least and he gives it away 100% free with no ads or microtransactions at all.make sure to get this version, and not a copy trying to make money off this devs hard work.

Wonderful game. I am interrupted in 5 minute increments daily. I can play this in my down time, yet drop it instantly and come back to it. Game is turn based, so I don't have to worry about my character. Yes it's extremely hard and I die often. I rarely get a character past level 5. I love it. Each new game is literally new, and who knows what will happen? I have come up empty and died on the first level, but I've also found awesome items early on and gone on to win the game.

J70%
by J####:

Freaking incredible. Love it soon much. Great time passer. It will make you think and it is such a challenge but manageable. It's like a dungeon version of dark souls. You die so much but you always come back for more. Please make another with a story mode or something please. You creators have such a great thing going here.

by I####:

Can you make a DLC or something for like, a new chapter for Pixel Dungeon? Would be appreciated if you did. Example: Dracula's Curse of Pixel Dungeon. Just a example, probably something better. Also, make it be like $0.99 for DLC, or at least $2.00? Plz make a new chapter or something cool to the strory!

K70%

Epic rogue-like and rpg game. Uses up hardly any space on my phone so it's great. Really entertaining, you can spend hours playing it. I have been enjoying this game so far and that's why I give it a 5 star rating

T70%
by T####:

The game is fun and addictive to play to see how far you can get before you die. There is a large amount of luck involved in my opinion due to random item spawn. However, this is part of what makes it so challenging. If you were guaranteed things it wouldn't hold the same amount of interest.

B70%
by B####:

Try making this... Plz remove the item degrading features... It's kinda Annoying... That's all... Also I would not kill you even if u add some adds. Make it so that u get enough money to keep updating and donations remove adds. That would surely help u bring more content. But don't do too much adds. Just the right amount.... :)

T70%
by T####:

Given me hours of fun, but I can't bring myself to play the with degradation. Still have to give credit, especially since the game is released open source and the branches still give me plenty of good times.

T70%
by T####:

Fun game I guess. I could only play it for about an hour before I got a bug that broke the game. When I read the scroll that revealed the entire map my character would become stuck in place, unable to move yet still act. I'm not sure if this was intended or not but it ruined the game for me.

T70%
by T####:

One of the greatest games on Google Play. Free and without ads. The difficulty is brutal to even a seasoned veteran gamer. Even after months of playing this, I still find myself laying on level 1 sometimes!Casual players can download the other modded ones that allow you to save your progress.

H70%
by H####:

If you like roguelikes then this game is a must-have for you. There are a ton of interlocking mechanics that make this game very unique. As the description states, this game is very difficult and luck-based. I have never won a single run yet although I've played over 100 games; I barely made it to the final boss once on my best run. To succeed in Pixel Dungeon you'll need a decent understanding of the game's mechanics, good resource management, and luck. All in all, this game is amazing! Can only recommend!

X70%
by X####:

One of my favorite rogue-likes of all time! Great gameplay, lots of different scenarios, no dungeon is ever the same! Great graphics! All you rogue-like fans, this game is a must have! Keep up the good work on this excellent game! *Edit* I did find a bug with the shop. When I made it to the shop It was much smaller than usual, and without a shopkeeper. Due to lack of a shopkeeper, I was able to pick up everything, free of charge. I'm guessing this wasn't meant to happen.

T70%
by T####:

Pretty hard, as I only made it to Level 5 about 4 or 5 times after a week of downloading it, but I just like the simpleness of the game. The controls are easy to follow, unlike other games where you have to use some complex joystick thing. And the scrolls and the potions are pretty simple to guess of their effects just by looking at the names. And since every game is different, every game I play will always keep me hooked and ready to kick some rat butt.

T70%
by T####:

and ruthless! it's got the proper difficulty of a classic roguelike with a delicious modern twist. the music is perfect. I haven't made it past the ooze yet so im not sure if it's just the one track but after a little over an hour im not sick of the loop yet. very attractive graphics. simple yet incredibly satisfying. any classic roguelike fan would get a kick out of this. keep up the good work man!

T70%
by T####:

I feel the best part about this game was that it is not addicting. It's fun. The two words have a difference. I actively want to play pixel dungeon. Yet games like coc basically force you to come back, and then leave right away. My only complaint is of how it isn't super balanced, where most playthroughs you have no chance, and some you get a lightning wand in the first room you find. Other than that, pixel dungeon is a fun game definitely worth trying out.

G70%
by G####:

Cant steal items from the shop. A potion does an effect next run does another different. Sometimes the maze generator dosnt generate grey keys or stairs, not even secret doors. when you die items are drop, if you revive with an ank, you are supposed to go and take your dropped items back, nope. They dissappear.

Pixel Dungeon, prior to moving to open source, is the game I've played most on my phone. It's gotten better and better over the years. This is a perfect casual roguelike.

warning. gateway drug. i used to play Rogue on an Amstrad PC 1512, some time around the mid-1980's, when i was 6. but it was impossible. i'd never even heard of rogue-like's until now, and i thought that finally holding aloft the amulet of yendor would be a valuable opportunity to finally heal old wounds left in my infantile psyche.... how could i have been so very wrong ...? please, help me. help.

Honestly, out of all the app games I've ever downloaded (over a 4 year span) this one holds and retains the highest pedistal. No ads, no weird interfaces. Just old school Rogue-like RPG awesomeness. It's quite a challenge though. Expect to fail and die and start over A LOT

O70%
by O####:

This is the second best rougelike game of all time, first being Rouge Legacy, but that's not on android, so this is number one on google play, gets updated often, and extremely simple yet definitely difficult, only improvement I would wish for is more classes and/or speci class skills such as a battlecry buff for the warrior or such.

Kills an hour no sweat , then usually kills me

J70%
by J####:

Great game until item degradation was introduced. Now it's just an exercise of diminishing returns. The deeper the dungeon level, the stronger the mobs which requires a more upgraded weapon. The more upgraded a weapon, the faster it degrades. You'll quickly find your weapon broken and have no way to fix it since methods of repair are finite and monsters to fight aren't.

J70%
by J####:

Cool game but frustratingly difficult. Not a long term rpg, only meant to kill small chunks of time. As long as you go in realizing that it's fun.

G70%
by G####:

Wow, I'm blown away at how well thought out and fun this game is!! A must have!!! EDIT: I hate degradation. So now I have to play Shattered Pixel Dungeon or Sprouted Pixel Dungeon. WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE GAME SO THAT PEOPLE WHO LIKED IT NOW HATE IT????
