Shiren The Wanderer The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate FINISHED! 11/10 Why this rating? Few games would do that, but everything about this game pleased me, from its gameplay and story, which by the way, even with a seemingly simple objective of helping Oyu and her incurable disease and Jirokichi who would do anything to save his loved one, the game had an emotional charge. , your adventure partners are all captivating and each one has their part in the story and helps you climb the tower of fortune, which by the way is quite a challenge! The difficulty increases with the floors of the tower you climb, but the tower is treacherous with each new floor, it's a surprise, traps, monsters that destroy your items or curse and create a debuff on everything that kills you. very well animated and detailed, all equippable weapons have their unique models, the description of weapons and items was always filled with a good mood, my total gameplay was 46:54 minutes of gameplay throughout the story and I also did some challenge quests During gameplay, I highly recommend the game, especially if you like Roguelike games, a good challenge and quality JRPGs, and also love old Japanese themes like me.

- Same architecture as PMD: Explorers with a better story but woefully less engaging gameplay systems
+ Pretty handy for a handheld roguelike

The pinnacle. One of the best mystery dungeons. Boundless content to keep you busy for 1000s of hours.

Shiren is a roguelike that is a mix of hard-core dungeon crawling and cryptic Buddhist mythology. It has an extremely punishing day-night system that fundamentally changes the gameplay loop each time it cycles. It is a fantastic game that encourages the player to problem solve rather than engage in repetitive brute forcing. It stands out as one of the best games in a genre full of mostly derivative and unimaginative content- procedural generation is not a crutch, but instead a sandbox within which you demonstrate your mastery of the ingame mechanics.
