"I love role-playing games, but I am not a huge fan of dungeon crawlers. Don't get me wrong, if done right (Persona 3 FES), they can definitely be engrossing and addictive, but more often than not it seems like developers care more about frustrating difficulty than interesting battle mechanics or a cohesive plot. Shiren the Wanderer, an upcoming Wii game coming to North America from localization masters Atlus, strives to be something different-an accessible dungeon crawler heavy on story. From what I saw today, they might just be able to pull it off."
Game Rant talks to Spike Chunsoft about bringing back the classic Shiren the Wanderer series with new title The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island.
Game runs perfectly on the steamdeck via Yuzu. Crazy hard though, hardest entry in the series, would recommend dice of fate as the funnest mechanics are unlocked right away and not locked behind postgame like serpentcoil.
With Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon out on the Nintendo 3DS last year and Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate gracing Vitas two weeks ago, you may have developed a taste for tough-as-nails dungeon-crawlers. Roguelikes are on the rise. But then, when it comes to these Spike Chunsoft joints, they always have been.
Spike Chunsoft has opened the official website for its Shiren the Wanderer roguelike series’ 20th anniversary.
