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.
The pinnacle. One of the best mystery dungeons. Boundless content to keep you busy for 1000s of hours.
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.
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
Please spike chunsoft make a 6th game stop making shitty VNs I beg of you
