What is Reddit's opinion of Shattered Pixel Dungeon?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I'm sorry, but I still dont get it. ShatteredPD is only available for mobiles phones and not PCs as far as I'm aware. In the website it only has links for mobile downloads. . Maybe I'm wrong though, but I've heard Evan saying it. Where did you get it from? are you sure is not the vanilla version? I'm not tryng to be a prick, just curious , since I would like to play it on PC aswell.

> I think what you mean is a lot of early strength potions.

Mostly, yeah (though to be honest, I seldom get far past 'early' anyway, lol). I know the Brogue is kind of balanced around being able to find strength potions, so any successful run is bound to have a lot of them anyway, but getting them early can be a big benefit. I'd rather stumble upon that benefit myself than be told outright which seeds are 'good'.

> Contrast this to Pixel Dungeon, where... I've still not died to starvation, but you reach "starving", sometimes, as soon as depth 1. It's fucking ridiculous.

Haha, yeah. I actually have starved to death in Pixel Dungeon. Food is one of those things that Shattered Pixel Dungeon (also available for PC/Linux/Mac through Java) is a little better with than vanilla, though you still run into starvation problems often. Not a perfect game/variant, but I like it. Some say Shattered is too easy, but I still haven't beaten it, so it's not that easy... :P
