I’m playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon myself. It feels pretty balanced and cohesive with frequent updates. It also doesn’t have the weapon durability mechanic from vanilla, which I hated
You can probably guess which one I play the most, hehe. Shattered has been the most popular version on the subreddit for quite a while, so I imagine that’ll be the case here too. Still, there are lots of other versions, and even if they don’t have as much dev time behind them they’re still worth checking out.
How much time do you spend playing any of the other clones for ideas? Or is it all just vanilla + your own creativity?
