Feb. 2025

Honestly top 5 games of all time for me. It's basically everything I've loved about PMD except less handholdy and more challenging. The main story is an absolute breeze once you get the mechanics down (Undo grass, point shop, mixers/runes) Easily can be beaten in just a few hours but there's so much wealth of content that was there, but also more that they added in the 10+ years since this originally came out on the DS. Genuinely cannot reccomend it enough. Bought it on 3 different systems already TBH.

Dec. 2024

As a fan of the PMD series and other Trad rogue-likes, I gave this a try. When you die in this game you lose all items and your character goes back to level 1 which at first seems like too much but there are actually ways to get your weapons and shield back later on. I'd only recommend this to someone that's okay with looking at a wiki while they play because you will definitely need one to see which weapon/shield combos are available, and which abilities to merge with your gear. Building swords or shields with different abilities added to them is probably the most interesting part of the game, at least for me.

Almost didn't buy because of ppl complaining about item loss on death. It does suck, but this game is so good its worth dealing with. When you get past the first 3 towers it allows for item tagging that you can restore items on loss. The game punishes you for failing but if you stick past the first 3 towers it eases up and gives you "insurance" to get your items back. Also if you just play it safe with the right revive items you get from the point shop that you can easily afford every run, you should be fine mid game on I got on this game on sale for $4 would of been happy to pay the $20. Don't hesitate to try it, you will not regret it!

Shiren the Wanderer is fantastic, it has a lot of the elements that makes Nethack fun for me, but a lot less bloated and way more accessible, with good music and graphics. There are a lot of interesting mechanics if you want to dig in, but you don't really need them to succeed. The most important things can be found through trial and error. I don't really play with the meta progress mechanics, which makes the game even harder than it is normally. Extremely unforgiving. Mid-to-end game you will absolutely find yourself saying "How on earth could I have possibly survived that situation, I had no chance", but that's pretty normal for traditional roguelikes in general, and if you keep trying you will realize that no, metaprogression or luck was not required, just some skill and knowledge and preparation is enough (I'd say 95% of the time) to succeed during those moments you thought were absolutely impossible before. But even if you don't want to ride the struggle bus, and don't even want to deal with the tedium of upgrading items over multiple runs, you can just lean on your allies that level up and retain their levels throughout all your runs. There are tons of dungeons of various lengths outside the main story dungeon, many of which have genuinely interesting challenges. Some of them give no option for meta progress or allies or anything, and there's even some dungeons that are more puzzle-style than roguelike. All these shiren games are pretty much the same besides the extras, and this one has some great extra dungeons. I don't really 'get' the day/night cycle and spells stuff this game has in some parts. Overall it's great and I bought this game both on steam and on switch without hesitation.

Aug. 2024

I wouldn't call this a game for everyone, but if you enjoy what it's offering then it's fantastic. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky is one of my top 5 video games all time, but after playing Shiren PMD feels like the watered-down version of what Shiren offers. I've just hit credits on the main story and am looking forward to all the post-game dungeons. If you're on the fence and enjoy the gameplay of PMD and want something deeper, please do yourself a favor and try this wonderful game out.
