RPGamer: Shiren the Wanderer Review

Longtime Shiren fans who aren't too offended that levels and progress are maintained after death should still enjoy this title's other mechanics, which are unchanged. Gamers new to the subgenre looking for an entry point should start with the better, more enjoyable, and more entertaining Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns or Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon, and if you find yourself wishing Chocobo provided limited access to healing items, no magic abilities, no job classes, a boring plot, a bland setting, weaker music, muddier visuals, and a horrible interface, then give Shiren the Wanderer a shot.
