Pixel Dungeon is a traditional roguelike game with pixel-art graphics and a simple interface, written in Java. It is the original open-source roguelike by Watabou, designed primarily for Android and built on top of the author's PD-classes game library.

Use cases

  • play a traditional roguelike on Android
  • study the source code of a complete roguelike game
  • fork or mod an open-source pixel-art dungeon crawler
  • learn how turn-based procedural dungeon games are implemented in Java
  • find a simple offline mobile game without ads

When to choose

  • you want a classic roguelike experience on a mobile device
  • you need a well-known, playable reference codebase for roguelike mechanics
  • you want to create your own Pixel Dungeon mod or derivative

When to avoid

  • you need a modern game engine or 3D graphics
  • you want actively updated content - the original repo's latest release is from 2019 (see Shattered Pixel Dungeon for an active fork)
  • you need an iOS or desktop-first game out of the box
