After stopping the revival of a demon god at the Magic Castle of the Desert, Shiren and Koppa set off in search of new adventures. Soon thereafter, our heroes wandered into small village. This village, Inori, has a legend that claims, “If you climb the Tower of Fortune that soars above the enchanted land and face Reeva, the god of Destiny, you can change your fate.” Shiren and Koppa, having confirmed many mysterious legends throughout their journeys, decide to embrace this new challenge. The challenge that awaits Shiren and his friends will challenge is the “Mysterious Dungeon”. It is a dungeon that changes its layout as well as the item and monster placement on subsequent replays. From formidable monsters to dangerous traps, players will learn to overcome the various obstacles that stand in opposition to Shiren. This title also boasts a variety of additional new dungeons! With widescreen support, PlayStationTV support, and trophies the PlayStationVita system version of Shiren is jam-packed with features!

Pretty decent. I think I finished 2/3 of the towers before getting bored. The story isn't interesting enough for me to care about finishing it.

Played through 2 towers and decided I had enough. It's fun but I am simply not bored enough that I want to play through another 3 of them and I felt like I saw all that the game really had to offer tbh

The pinnacle. One of the best mystery dungeons. Boundless content to keep you busy for 1000s of hours.

Please spike chunsoft make a 6th game stop making shitty VNs I beg of you

Edit: Finally

If you walk into this game expecting a modern roguelite you will be disappointed with how frustrating it can be. Unlike modern games there's no sense of failing forward. Whereas on most modern games a bunk run will at least net you a few resources towards some passive bonuses on your next run, for Shiren a bunk run just means 30 mins to an 1 hour down the toilet before you're right back at the beginning with absolutely nothing. The game requires keen knowledge on its numerous systems, a little bit of creative thinking, and of course the almighty blessing of RNGesus. This will be more frustrating than fun for a lot of people, but for certain sickos this game will just be endlessly addicting. This game is a great gateway from roguelite to roguelike as it has a lot of great modern quality of life features. The music and storyline are non-existent, but if the gameplay loop resonates with you, you will fall in love.
