As someone who considers limited inventory space and menu creep a big pet peeve, managing items and having to constantly cycle through menus can get annoying at times.
#Shiren the wanderer series#
For players who need guidance on the basics of roguelike gameplay, there’s a series of tutorials you can go through in the starting village but it can be a lot to digest, especially if you’ve never played games in the genre like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Certain weapon and shield combinations also provide resonance benefits that can help with your journey. Gear can be upgraded and also leveled up through constant use, items can be synthesized by throwing them into a synthesis pot or mixer monster, and you can make custom items as well. Shiren gives you a lot of stuff to do besides dungeon crawling. As with any AI-controlled ally, however, your mileage will vary when it comes to partner competence.Īlthough the game looks simple, the technical aspects of the gameplay can be intimidating to newcomers. Granted, you can bring companions to help make the journey a wee bit more manageable. You likely will fall several times, too, as the game can get difficult, especially when night falls and monsters get even tougher and your vision gets obscured. I recommend taking advantage of the bank and item storage to stash away your hard-earned coin and loot just in case you bite the dust at a dungeon. Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate the pain of your loss. When it comes to the roguelike genre, death is only the beginning. That means you will be traversing various randomized dungeon floors, fighting various monsters, running into various traps and finding various ways to question what you’re doing with your life when you wipe out and lose everything.

This is a roguelike in the classic sense of the word. Gameplay, meanwhile, is unforgivingly old school. The Game Vault: Technobubble Video Game Reviews Khura’in game: Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice review | Technobubble Ka-ching: Nintendo gets serious about mobile with Super Mario Run | Technobubble It’s a look that harkens back to a time I quite enjoyed and actually made me want to dig up some of my old consoles and play games like “Breath of Fire” and “Chrono Trigger” once again. Folks who love the pixelized aesthetics of older games, however, will adore Shiren’s classic look. I mean, if “ The King of Fighters XIV” can get flak from some fans for its visuals, I can only imagine what those people think of Shiren. Admittedly, the graphics can be a potential turnoff for fans unfamiliar with the series or classic roguelikes in general. Visually, the game looks great - if it was 1990.
