Title: Shiren the Wanderer DS
Post by: demi on March 06, 2008, 08:57:59 PM
Is this a port of SNES game I believe?

Either way, it's better than Pokemon Dungeon.

GAF seems to like it. It's a natural for the DS, I may trade in a few titles and snag it

I've been playing the Dragon Quest Yangus Mysterious Dungeon title for the PS2 lately, it's fucking badass. I'll probably have to pick up this Shiren version of Mysterious Dungeon now, too.

well EO1 was last year and Shiren is this year. Im not bebpo.

the game is really really good, it's like an arcade rpg or something if that makes sense. there's even a worldwide ranking to check how good you are at the game.

the game has a lot of awesome moments, like I was hungry and I was going to eat a riceball (if your hunger  stat goes to 0 you start losing HP for every move you make) and this old due appears out of nowhere and tells me he was starving so he asks for my only piece of riceball. I said no, he keeps insisting so I gave him the damn riceball and he gave me some herb that lets me gain a level without having to get exp, nice. so I was going on my way when I noticed a riceball changer monster turned the dude into a riceball. I killed the monster, picked up the riceball and ate it. too bad for the old dude!

I like how when you die you get to see new stuff in the game. like the whole deal with Shiren's brother which was awesome. the game doesn't fuck around tho, that same monster that turned the old dude in a riceball, turned my leet katana into a riceball too later in the game.  :'(

yes, but when you die and pass through town again he will ask you for 1k gold. give him the money and if you die yet again then you'll see a scene with him drunk, he'll tell you he lost all the money and he asks for your forgiveness if you forgive him he joins you.

yeah music is amazing.

Is the music like the DQ games where it's great but there are only a few tracks played everywhere because Sugiyama's too old and/or busy with Holocaust denial to bother writing more?

I'm in the dark on this game but it sounds like something I'd enjoy.  Guess I'll do a blind purchase and hope I don't get burned like I did when picking up Hotel Dusk on a GAF whim.
Shiren is the real deal, I dont know bout Hotel Dusk but Shiren is great. really!

buy it so Sega brings Shiren III here :'(
