Spike Chunsoft has announced that the roguelike RPG Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island for Nintendo Switch has received a second free content update. The update is available now, and it adds several new features including a playable character, Tatsumi Shiren, and more dungeon floors for deeper exploration.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Over the years, I've been lucky enough to cover the work of many different developers and publishers, from all over the globe. In some cases, after I’ve played several titles in a row from a specific game maker, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for the studio's portfolio and a better understanding of its design philosophy and trajectory. I’ve also noticed if a company is spinning its wheels or firing on all cylinders. In the case of publisher Spike Chunsoft, in the year 2024, the latter is very much the case. Over the last 12 months, I was fortunate to review four of its games — two of which I regard as GOTY contenders and the other two of which I consider tantalizingly close to greatness."
Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is coming to PC this winter, Spike Chunsoft has confirmed.
The English versions of the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase skipped plenty of Japanese games, including some that are coming in English.
Still hoping for a ps release. Love some shiren games.
