Have you got a 'forever game'? (self.letstalkaboutgames)

As their name suggests, forever (or evergreen) games are games that don’t have a finale or culmination, as in “The End”. These games have a very high replayability factor (meaning we enjoy playing them over and over again).

Forever games are also timeless. We can pick up these games anytime , be it the day they were released, or a few years later, and play them for months or years. We can even stop playing for a while, pick them up again years later, and they’d still be fun and relevant.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

[–] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 4 points 8 months ago

I was thrilled to install this after playing a few years ago and finding that not only has it continued to be updated, but a new class was added.

This is probably in my top 5 games. Hard enough that you can pretty easily get blown up but also balanced enough that every game seed has the ability to be beaten.

I love a good ring of wealth run. I finally did a necro run which was also a blast.

This is just the most perfect phone game there ever was.

You can pick it up and drop it at a moments notice, the controls and gameplay give themselves perfectly to touch screens, and it can be fairly simple to play, but you can go really in depth if you learn its secrets.

I've been playing pixel dungeon and its variants for the last decade. Shattered really pulled so far ahead of the original.

I love this game
