Key Features:

  • Classic Roguelike Gameplay – Each defeat brings you closer to victory as you learn new strategies and skills.
  • Gorgeous Retro Graphics - Beautiful 2D graphics and colorful characters highlight your quest.
  • New Features
    • Music Collection: Encountered a melody during your adventures that you can't get out of your head? Listen to it anytime you like!
    • Live Display: Designed for live streaming, this optional UI displays your status, items, equipment, abilities, gameplay time, and turns spent in the dungeon.
    • Wanderer Rescue and Rankings Go Global: The Wanderer Rescue system lets you request help from other players when you collapse in a dungeon, while the Ranking system tracks top dungeon scores and rescue attempts.  This time around, the system connects all adventurers around the world, regardless of language or region settings. There is an option to filter/limit these features by player language settings.
  • Enhanced Port - Contains bonus dungeons not found in the original release.
    • Bladeless Wasteland: As the name implies, there are no weapon drops in this dungeon! Physical attacks do minimal damage, so use arrows, rocks and other ranged attacks to fight your way through.
    • Cloister of Certain Doom: Challenge yourself by setting a target number of turns to clear the dungeon within. Fail, and get booted back to the surface. How low can you go?
    • Garden of Destiny: Defeating a monster in one attack nets a huge experience boost, but the more attacks it takes, the less experience you earn! (Unlocked by clearing the main game).

Originally released on Vita, Shiren The Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate is coming to Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam) on December 2, 2020 for $19.99.
