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.
