I’m starting to think this fellow might just be a bit of an asshole. He seems to spend 100% of his time assaulting people.

You’re only allowed to be right about one thing at a time. That’ll be six-and-a-quarter million dollars for your arrogance, and also how dare you?

It might just be a matter of being more efficient with your route, or occasionally letting go of rooms if you’re already hungry to move on a little quicker.

If you’re struggling with food without Horn of Plenty, have you tried consistently letting yourself starve to somewhere between 50-80% of your max health before eating?

It is a true Roguelike game. Turnbased, tactical combat with exploration elements limited by hunger necessitating careful resource management in the form of food, and later torches to manage an increasingly limited range of vision. Consumable items, mostly potions and scrolls, serve as powerful and potentially dangerous utility items quite capable of making or breaking an entire run in a single turn. Runs may last anywhere from a few hours to several days depending not just on how careful you are, but also since it is turn based you can pick it up and put it down at a whim- but be warned! There is no save scumming. If you die, you die.

There are paid versions on steam and the app stores, but also the author of the “Shattered Pixel Dungeon” fork (my personal recommendation) maintains a repository of free and up-to-date versions, though there is some inconvenience messing with the compilations. Regularly updated with balance patches and new content. He’s even a member of this community, and one of the mods: 00-Evan. Well worth the small price of admission.
