Pixel Dungeon Review

Imagine you're walking through a dark, dank, claustrophobic cave, hundreds, if not thousands of feet down. You're starving, and close to death. You're trying to find just a scrap of food to help you keep going. You turn a corner and come face to face with a terrifying monster who makes it clear they want to finish you off. You have two bottles full of different, brightly colored liquids. When drunk, one will heal all your wounds and make you fit enough to take on the beast. The other will set you on fire. You can't tell which is which. What do you do?
This is a simple example of the challenges you'll face in Pixel Dungeon, a true to heart roguelike on mobile devices. It's completely free, beautiful, difficult, and is fun in both brief and prolonged play sessions.
