Shattered Pixel Dungeon
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a traditional roguelike dungeon crawler RPG that's simple to get into but hard to master! Every game is a unique challenge, with five different heroes, randomized levels and enemies, and hundreds of items to collect and use. ShatteredPD is also updated once every two or three months, so there's always something new.
Each of ShatteredPD's five playable heroes has their own unique mechanics and gameplay style. Cut down foes as the durable Warrior or deadly Duelist, fry your enemies as the arcane Mage, or use terrain to your advantage as the stealthy Rogue or the markswoman Huntress!
ShatteredPD's dungeon is procedurally generated with random layouts, room types, items, traps, and enemies. In each game you'll find equipment and collect or craft consumable items to power you up or help you out in a pinch. There is a huge variety to what you might see from run to run and region to region.
The Dungeon is filled with enemies, traps, hazards, and bosses intent on ending your run! Battle hostile wildlife in the sewers and caves, mad thieves and guards in the prison, occult servants in the fallen dwarven city, and maybe something even worse further down...
ShatteredPD is based on the open source code of Pixel Dungeon by Watabou (first released in late 2012). It started in 2014 as a project to rebalance Pixel Dungeon but has steadily grown into its own game over the last 8 years!
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is available in both free and paid versions on Itch.io. The paid version includes a few cosmetic extras such as the ability to rename heroes and items, and extra pages in the game's rankings screen. Please consider supporting development so that I can keep making games!
Shattered Pixel Dungeon's soundtrack is also available on Itch.io!

Is Steam key included with the purchase here? I mostly want Steam Cloud and achievements (and support you) but I already have shattered supported on Play Market so don’t really want to buy it for PC 2 times.
Afraid there is no Steam key included here, if you want to play the game on Steam then purchase it on Steam. Sorry about double paying, but it’s like any other game over multiple platforms.
Not really, Dwarf Fortress and ΔV: Rings of Saturn do offer Steam key with itch.io purchase. I haven’t found any info about it here so decided to clarify.
I double checked to remind myself and this is due to Shattered being a ‘pay what you want’ game on itch.io. Due to the way itch’s system works, ANY payment, even $0.01, would entitle someone to a Steam key. I can’t set a minimum payment threshold like I can for the separate ‘paid’ files you can download directly from itch. Because of this the only way to offer Steam keys here would be to also remove the free version and only charge $10 up-front.
Ok, thanks for explanation and have a nice day!
how do I update the game, whilst saving my progress if I download the current version through itch.io?
Save progress is saved under your user app data folder, not where the game is downloaded. You should be able to update without any changes to your save data.
nice! so that means I just need to download the newer versions as they appear right along with possibly deleting the older version, and this wont cause everything to be wiped? edit: or does the game auto update?
The game has a built-in update notification, but relies on you to download the new version yourself. If you like to download games through itch then they also have a program you can download that can manage most of this for you.
thanks alot for the info!
question: does heightened senses stack with eye of newt?
realized that there's a wiki. it does not stack :<
omg, this game is so old and i used to be SO DAMN INTO IT FOR SO LONG
Then you might want to try the desktop and the new version. It feels quite a bit different to play with keyboard/controller and mouse. Aside from balancing changes there were bunch of new features added over time like trinkets and the duelist class recently.

thanks homie
Porfavor haz que se pueda jugar en pc de 32 bits :(
If you would like to play on a 32-bit computer, there is actually a legacy .JAR build available on github: https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases
Note that it requires a separate Java installation on your computer.
Sério! esse Jogo é muito Viciante e Bom!
The free Windows executable only runs when I start it from the command line. I’m on Windows 11 version 24H2.
I’m afraid I don’t have a W11 machine to test with currently, does any sort of error message appear?
No, ~~but either I was wrong or it fixed itself.~~ EDIT: nvm, I just launched the debug scroll build and saw it work. So it appears to be this one specifically. May try other builds later.
amazing game!!!
Hey, I love this game, usually I play it on my phone, but I just started a gaming channel, so I wanted to do a video on pixel dungeon using the desktop app to have the 1920*1080 format of YouTube, but when I started recording with the Windows 11 new record function (maj+windows+s) the mouse disappeared, so I closed pixel dungeon, and it reappeared, proving that it's an issue from the game. Is there any way that I can fix this issue.
I can’t say what might be causing the cursor to disappear in particular, but it’s likely some mix of the new record function and the custom mouse cursor that Shattered uses. You might consider seeing if there’s an ‘enable mouse cursor’ recording setting, or using more well-tested recording software, such as OBS.
Yeah, thank you, worked on Bandicam for me, it will be nice thought to have in the settings a way to make the game render the cursor, I had the same issue with Noita, just toggled on the setting and it worked.
great game, always play it on my phone for convenience sake, personally prefer this over the original just in terms of difficulty and the many QoL changes.
always in my heart, one of the best games, no fucking ram eater, can play on 20 old phone and pc, simple but not simple-> perfect balance, 99/5 stars

good game
i absolutely love this game but i have one problem that i cant seem to figure out, anytime im on my desktop the games startup music starts playing and i dont even have the game open
Odd, that really sounds like the game is running somewhere and thinks it’s in focus when you’re on the desktop. I’d suggest restarting your computer to see if that fixes it, hopefully it won’t come back.
description should be edited to just "die trying" 10/10 game tho
Rather "learning by dying"
There are play styles with which you can get to floor 25 nearly every run. The learning curve is steep indeed. You need to know how the enemies and bosses behave. How alchemy works. What the talents can do etc.
10/10 a great, classic roguelike. Somewhat simple, however that makes it a great way to enter the genre.
Hermano abri el juego y me salto un aviso de el antivirus que estaba infectado con un troyano 💀
Shattered has triggered false positives on antivirus software before. It should clear up in a few days after they correct the error in their virus definitions.
uff, vaya susto que me di. Gracias por aclararme las cosas
Gran juego por cierto 👍
Es un falso positivo, sucede con muchos juegos de itch io, por ejemplo el pixel dungeon original virustotal pone que 4 antivirus lo catalogan como malicioso, por lo general sucede con bkav pro y maxsecure.
I can't play when I click into .exe and nothing comes up.
Very good game, I love it. Just one part is missing for me, there are no real links between the runs. An evolution like in Rogue legacy would be super cool.
I appreciate the desire for something like this, but adding meta progression would change the genre of the game. Shattered is a traditional roguelike (lots of folks call games like Rogue Legacy roguelites), and one of the points of that genre is that each run is independent from the others. You have the exact same potential to win on your first run as you do on your 100th.
ShPD already has progression since you can’t use all classes from the beginning and only use challenges after you win.
There are also Hero’s Remains, where your run gets influenced by your last run. That’s not progression, but not very rougelike-ish either.
One of the only good android rpgs I was able to find. I have been playing a while but still haven't gotten the W. I play with an Amazon fire and am a lot of updates back. Is there any way to fix this?.
La neta me he jugado el juego y está uff... Como para viciarse unas semanas, lo jugué desde android y deje una reseña positiva en la play store porque la verdad creo que lo merece... No obstante, vengo a hacer un comentario aquí preguntando si existe la posibilidad de que sea lanzada una versión para x86 en windows, es que no puedo ocupar windows x64 por mi laptop. :(
Shattered does also have a .jar version available on github, which will run on x86 windows if you download an x86 version of java. https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases
Ok ok ok, muchas gracias po el dato! :)
Man i spend so much time in this game,but it is really fun to play
Great game! I have only played the mobile version. I want to ask. Is there a way to obtain items since the beginning? I want to try some character builds.
The game is open source so probably some modifications with that functionality do exist, but I have no intention of putting cheats into the main game. The closes you could get to that is seeded runs, which would let you find certain items every time if you get the right seed.
That sounds more like a sandbox mode. With a floor where you can spawn items and monsters. But that would ruin the evolution, where you die the first time you run into a new enemy.
Though it might help playtesting new items and changed balancing.
this game is very addictive and fun!
I recently got into pixel dungeon and got my first w's, and whew.... what a 10/10 top tier game for gamers. Soon I will buy the costumes to support moar shattered pixel game updates.

There are free downloads both here on itch.io and also on github: https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases

Amazing game, well balanced, high variety and loads of stuff
the ONLY good mobile game rougelikes and the BEST coffee break rougelike on itch.io
Even if I never won to this day, I still love it !
I mainly played the mobile version but I really loved it!!! Keep up the good work.
I've been playing for a long, long time and roguelikes like this is what inspired me to go into game design in college. Keep it up!
Probably one of the best RPGs I be played. The mechanics, the graphics, everything.
