Time Played

Chart displaying Pixel Dungeon percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time players have spent in Pixel Dungeon, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is adequate, reaching 27 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 5.3 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 111 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Pixel Dungeon and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
