Gaming Union writes: "In today's world, almost everyone has a passing knowledge of the various genres of video games, except for one in particular: roguelikes. This genre is known for many things, but accessibility is not one of them. So when Atlus announced Shiren the Wanderer for the Wii at E3 2009, many simply passed by the news and looked on to the myriad of other games present at the convention. Those people, however, should give the game a second look, as Shiren the Wanderer builds on the genre and advances it to a level where even players not accustomed to the genre can enjoy it."
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.
It's a pretty niche genre, but one that can actually be quite fun.
I still find that an odd name xD
Certainly sounds intriguing
amazing
It's a shame I dont own a Wii, was kind of looking forward to give this one a spin!
