bit-tech Review

"I’ve always wondered something about hardcore JRPGs like Shiren The Wanderer – is the punishing gameplay something which is always deliberately introduced, or is the game just very poorly balanced?

With Shiren The Wanderer in particular, it’s honestly quite hard to tell. On the one hand you’ll find yourself dying so many times that you might think that Chunsoft has taken a personal offence at your very existence, but on the other hand the game itself is at least consistent in its difficulty.

Shiren The Wanderer[/i] isn’t a groundbreaking game, or even a stand-out game. What it is though is a perfect example of it’s genre – streamlined, challenging and long, with plenty of replayability piled on by the random levels. It’s taxing, often to a painful extent, and it isn’t for everyone, but for those in the market for a Japanese rogue-like Shiren The Wanderer will provide a rewarding enough experience." - 29th March 2008
