Game Critics: Shiren the Wanderer Review

For those that aren’t familiar, the Roguelike genre is populated by games featuring dungeon-crawling as their primary mechanic. The player starts at the top of a huge multi-level environment (sometimes the bottom, for variety) and then tries to reach the exit, floor by floor. Although there are many variations when it comes to specifics, most Roguelikes employ randomized level generation and item drops, forcing players to think on the fly and carefully manage what resources they’re able to scavenge.
