Here’s how Shattered Pixel Dungeon’s mobile hero select screen will look with the upcoming Cleric added to it. Some visuals are still a WIP, (the cudgel’s sprite in particular is very rough) but all the important bits are in place.

You can see the info window for the Cleric here too, showing off some info about their abilities. Just like the Rogue, the Cleric has a unique artifact that lets them access class abilities.

Unlike all the other heroes though, the Cleric gains a wide variety of active abilities (spells) via the talent system! I’ll be sharing more info about some of the Cleric’s spells in the coming weeks!

(Image Description: A screenshot from Shattered Pixel Dungeon showing the hero select screen and the Cleric selected. On the left the screen is shown with no info window open, on the right the hero info window is open, showing various information relating to the new hero. Most notably: “The Cleric starts with a unique holy tome, which they can use to cast various spells. Most of the Cleric’s talents are focused around learning or upgrading spells.”)

    Starting with purity and remove curse identified is very much in character. Seems quite strong too, for smoothing out the early game.

    I’m really excited to learn more about those spells. I love utility/defensive type characters in general!

    Looks good! Evan, for 10 years I’m playing pixel dungeon and shattered, of course, now I’ve started playing with my 4 years old son and he loves it! So thank you so much, you’ve brought so much joy to my son.

      Thanks so much for the kind words! Hearing stores like this does make me feel a bit old, but it’s great to hear you’re able to share the game with your son.

    So the tome is an artifact, and you use talent points to learn new spells for it? That’s very RPG-like and I love it, seems like it’s going to be a fun and creative class like duelist collecting weapons and switching abilities.

      Yep, the Cleric is essentially an inversion of the other classes having talents that favor passive or triggered effects. Instead the Clerics talents are mostly new abilities, but they all share a resource meter and are activated from a single place.

    Great! Can’t wait for this one to finally be released!

    (But the problem is that the Cleric’s splash art shows his hair as black, but the sprite doesn’t).

      As mentioned, some visuals are WIP. The current sprite is the original hero sprite (see my previously post about this), and will be changed before release.

    Cannot wait until this eventually releases. I might be able to get my first ever win with the new hero (I doubt it, but who cares).
