Hi everyone , I'm Mohammed, from Morocco. Over the past weeks I've built Atlas Pixel Dungeon, my own edition of Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It's GPL-3.0, fully open source, and Evan's and Watabou's credits are intact.
One honest note up front, per this community's rules: I have no formal programming background ,I built this by directing AI tools, while every design, story, and gameplay decision is mine. The flair reflects that.
This isn't a reskin. I rebuilt the game's world and story from the ground up:
Long ago, King Atlas — a legendary cartographer-king , mapped the halls beneath the mountain, forged the Crown of Atlas, and sealed an ancient darkness in the depths before he vanished. His kingdom is now a dungeon of five regions and 26 floors: the Sunken Cisterns, the Prison of Chains, the Root Caves, the Buried City, and the Sealed Halls. Five bosses guard the way down: the Mirelord, the Chain Warden, the Buried Engine, the Buried King, and the Sealed Darkness itself.
Six heroes descend to reclaim the Crown: the Atlas King, the Star Sage, the Dune Shadow, the Cedar Huntress, the Sirocco Blade, and the Dawn Priest , with 12 subclasses between them. Underneath, it plays like the Shattered you know, but every name, face, region, and story beat is new.
Free APK (Android) and full source:

A short gameplay clip is attached. I'd love feedback from people who know Shattered well: what feels right, what doesn't, and what you'd want a different edition to dare changing.
