SHIREN THE WANDERER SWITCH SERIES
Shiren the Wanderer, way back when now, was the series that really established the Mystery Dungeon formula, and as such, it deserves the credit for all the swears and curses that player have directed at it since. That’s why we now have it on Nintendo Switch, and while the updates to it are mild from that Vita release, the core game is well worth a replay. It was not surprising to me in the slightest that PlayStation Vita darling, Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate, despite being modest of appearance and a most traditional Mystery Dungeon roguelike, would continue to pull a crowd. The roguelike, after all, depends entirely on the metaphoric roll of the dice, to determine everything from the dungeon layouts to the monsters that you’ll fight, and the thing that keeps you playing is, typically, the promise of finding amazing loot in the unknown. It is appropriate to make the core motif of a Shiren the Wanderer game – a genuine pioneer in the now saturated roguelike genre – that of fate and fortune.
