MISPD is great, but I keep playing SPD because I want all my stats and achievements in one place. It’s a shame there’s no way to import SPD data. (Android wouldn’t even allow it, anyway.)
Since mispd and spd are practically the same, except mispd has much more information, I was hoping that Evan wil incorporate some of these additions (with premission, of course).
I’m afraid I don’t copy features from other versions of Pixel Dungeon. I actually try to avoid playing or reading too much about them so that I don’t have to worry If I think up a similar feature.
I do think that there are cases where Shattered could show more or less data, but I’m strongly against just information dumping all stats to the player. I hate RPGs that make enemies just feel like a collection of numbers. Accuracy and dodge also aren’t meaningful without detailed explanations. Mainly I like to show data that’s important for player decision-making. In particular Shattered could probably do with showing a little more data in regards to upgrade scroll usage.

Most people aren’t going to want to do napkin math every time they look at the stat block. Personally if I were to include those numbers I’d just put hit and dodge chance there instead of accuracy and evasion. Or potentially just rework the stat entirely to be more intuitive.
I agree that ring descs aren’t perfect there, but it’s needed to show what the ring is doing proportionally, especially as you upgrade it.
I think traits could be more clearly conveyed. What is undead, the difference to demonic, etc, are all very ambiguous. Let alone the hyper ambiguous “Rigid” type.
Enemy types should be conveyed much more clearly esp since some items like the holy bomb are things you don’t want to waste on the wrong type. The guards and thieves especially don’t seem undead until you hit them with a weapon that happens to affect undead.
Thanks for the reply. That’s totally fair point. I guess that’s what makes spd so unique. It surprise me every time how much strategic thinking is involved in the game, and how each game require different tactics. It never gets boring.
How is the mod called?

A confusing name 😃
This game looks interesting, but I’m wary about the fact that it’s free. I assume that means it’s full of micro transactions. Is that right?
Nope, it’s a complete game. It’s free as in open source
Wow, that’s cool! Thank you.
Welcome to the community! Pixel Dungeon is an open source rogue-like. There are a number of mods (more like forks, imo) with Shattered Pixel Dungeon (ShPD in the original post) being one of the most popular.
The game is free and ad-free on Android - the only payment option is a donation to the developer. I think there is a purchase fee for iPhone or Steam, though you could compile it yourself for a free PC version. Definitely consider supporting the developers once you get hooked.
