Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer

Description

Everyone talks about it, from one town to the next and from one village to the next: somewhere, beyond the woods and the mountains, there is an idyllic land called the Golden Land, also known as the land of everlasting happiness. This is the subject of the legend of the Golden Condor. There have been a lot of people who have tried to find their way to the mysterious land of the Golden Condor, but how many of those adventurers have actually made it through the treacherous mountain paths, the dark forests and caves, and the dangerous monsters? You have taken on the role of the Shiren, a nomad, and your mission in life is to locate the Golden Land. You and your best friend Koppa, who is a talking weasel, come to the conclusion that you should test your luck in the land that can be reached by travelling deep into the dungeons that lead there.

The Wanderer Shiren, also known as Furai no Shiren, is a hack-and-slash roguelike video game that features randomly generated dungeon areas, items, and enemies. Despite having the same name as the first game in the series, Fushigi no Dungeon 2, it is not connected in any way to the plot or the cast of characters from the first game in the series. However, the gameplay is very similar. The gameplay is based on taking turns. You travel to different towns and villages in order to buy and sell various supplies. The dungeons are crawling with a wide variety of traps and monsters, and occasionally there will be non-playable characters that you can talk to. If you get along well with them, they might even help you on your quest.
