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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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!!!

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

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.
