This week we find out where lost mail goes and we look back on the last 16-bit Final Fantasy. There’s a little bit of news about the AtariBox but a friend of the show helps us not get too exited or angry about it. We’ve got some bad translations, some wrestling, and a mobile port of a classic board game in this episode of the Retro League.

Yet Another Pixel Dungeon (or YetAnotherPD for short) by ConsideredHamster is a roguelike RPG with pixel graphics and simple controls. Like most other games in this genre, it features randomly generated levels, relatively high difficulty and a large number of things to learn. And like most other games of its genre, it is quite challenging.
This game is based on the source code of another Android game, Pixel Dungeon. It began as a small project with the goal to improve the original game here or there, but has since gradually grown into something much, much bigger. The games are quite different from each other, so there is no need to play the original game before trying this one.
YetAnotherPD is absolutely, totally and completely free. There are no advertisements, microtransactions or limited access, and will never be. Most likely, even the “donate” button will only be added after the main release.
Changes:
Finally, I can say that the update 0.3.1 has been completed! As a bonus, there are some April Fools tweaks in the game 😉 Stay classy!
