Anyone here play it, or variants of it? Or a fan of roguelikes in general?

this has been my longest-lasting phone game by a significant margin. I love that it's portrait mode so I can play a game while holding a phone the way God intended

I used to play it a fair amount. I got to the point where I had beaten at least a run with each of the characters. I stopped around when the update that added its own music came in. I should try it out again, it really is a solid game

They've added a new class (the Duelist), which is pretty fun to play.

Shattered is my roguelike of choice on mobile (along with Hoplite if that counts). On desktop I play DCSS and Brogue. Used to play a lot of Nethack too. Never ascended in any of them but that doesn't make it any less fun.

[–] TheGiantKorean 3 points 1 year ago

I have heard good things about DCSS. I tried playing on mobile, but it was difficult.

[–] ono@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Yep. It's an outstanding game in the classic roguelike style. Nice to have it available on both mobile and desktop, too.

I've played quite a bit. Only classes I haven't completed with are Mage and the new Duelist. Honestly, it's such a good game I'm amazed it's free. It is exactly what I want in a mobile game: fast, hard to master, easy to start. My biggest complaint is that touch controls can be clumsy, but that is the nature of the device.

[–] TheGiantKorean 1 points 1 year ago

I have died so many times from fat fingering. Dying that way can be really frustrating.

[–] Donkdonkboom@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Played it casually in spits and spurts. Never got that far, but enjoyed it. Very good game.

I used to play with the original PD until it got abandoned, so I've been playing Shattered it since it came out and I always come back to it: it's such a good dungeon crawler.
I love the fact that they always keep working on it, balancing mechanics and adding new stuff latest versions are impressing

Yes! I love it. It's the only game I have on my phone, and perfect to jump in/out whenever.

It's very hard to find a mobile game that isn't riddled with ads or garbage (or both) so this one has stuck with me for years. I gladly paid the 5€ or whatever it costs on the App Store when I switched to iOS recently.

Still haven't beaten it though lol. Closest I ever got was depth 23.

[–] TheGiantKorean 1 points 1 year ago

It costs money on the app store?

[–] Bjoern_Tantau@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I really love it. I always push it when people ask for good free and/or mobile games.

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did, a bit. But got tired of dying a lot. I know it's a rouguelike, but I died a lot. Maybe I should have looked up some tips instead of just quitting. If anyone wants to share some, that'd be great.

[–] TheGiantKorean 1 points 1 year ago

I'd be happy to. I'm not as good as some, but I've ascended with every class. What are you having trouble with?

[–] Sibshops@mstdn.games 2 points 1 year ago

@TheGiantKorean I played it! It was lots of fun! It's a #roguelike that works great on tablets, too.

[–] Foidi 2 points 1 year ago

That game is awesome

[–] casocial@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

It's a great time waster. The dev Evan is kind enough to host older versions of the game on his Github too if you don't like a particular feature. I personally play the edition right before hero talents were added.

[–] razieltakato@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never played the shattered one, but I played vanilla a lot!

[–] TheGiantKorean 1 points 1 year ago

Vanilla was fun! I stopped playing when item degradation was introduced.
