Shiren the Wanderer 3

Recommended Posts

I wish they would announce that it'll make it'a way to the US and Europe. I'm hoping it will, loved the DS version.

A must-buy! I haven't played it on the DS, but I'm really getting into Atlus with Etrian Odyssey.

Haha, yeah I got the email this morning. :yay:

... and swiftly texted nando with the megaton news!

 

I'm really glad Shiren 3 is getting at the very least localised for the US. That means its getting an English translation and could well be the game I get into homebrew for! I hope Shiren 2 on DS gets the same treatment. :hehe:

Just read on Jeremy Parish's Twitter that Shiren 3 is being ported to the PSP. :(

 

 

Guess its good that Shiren will be able to reach a wider audience and all, but I thought it was nice enough having it as a Wii exclusive. Will have to dig around for more info!

Reviews from the States are starting to roll in. The uninitiated are complaining that the game is too difficult, complicated and lacking in story while experienced Wanderers claim that Shiren 3 has actually gone in the opposite direction difficulty-wise but has less story, in the sense of being able to effect the world over time like in previous Shiren titles.

 

As predicted, Jeremy Parish has given Shiren lots of publicity via 1Up and the toastyfrog blog. The latest Active-Time Babble podcast is also centred around Shiren and the roguelike genre.

Lots of reviewers just don't get Shiren, why I normally never listen to them. Give me this and i'll be a happy camper.

 

Saying that, been wanting to get back to Shiren on the DS again lately. Awesome game.
