Sprawling fork with far more heroes, items and mechanics than vanilla.

That One Thing
Every potion, doorway and desperate retreat matters, turning a tiny dungeon run into a story of clever survival or spectacular failure.
Rat King Adventure is a long-running fork of Shattered Pixel Dungeon that expands well past the original's scope — extra hero classes, a much larger item pool, reworked mechanics and new content layered throughout the dungeon. It installs and saves separately, so it never disturbs a vanilla run.
Desktop builds are Java, so PlayBound installs a Java runtime for you if one isn't already present.

Deliberately generous fork — stronger heroes, a more forgiving run.
