PopMatters writes: "I'm not sure we realize how lucky we have it that a publisher like Atlus continues to thrive, much less even exists in the current gaming market. Atlus does not do blockbusters, they do not sell millions of copies, and they do not have a massive advertising or marketing budget. They define the grassroots, and they market in genre pieces to select audiences."
Game Rant talks to Spike Chunsoft about bringing back the classic Shiren the Wanderer series with new title The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island.
Game runs perfectly on the steamdeck via Yuzu. Crazy hard though, hardest entry in the series, would recommend dice of fate as the funnest mechanics are unlocked right away and not locked behind postgame like serpentcoil.
With Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon out on the Nintendo 3DS last year and Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate gracing Vitas two weeks ago, you may have developed a taste for tough-as-nails dungeon-crawlers. Roguelikes are on the rise. But then, when it comes to these Spike Chunsoft joints, they always have been.
Spike Chunsoft has opened the official website for its Shiren the Wanderer roguelike series’ 20th anniversary.
