VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Shiren The Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is a triumphant return to the Shiren series, roughly 14 years after the last mainline entry. It benefits from an ever-expanding story, a cast of colorful characters, a revamped asynchronous multiplayer mode, and, most essentially, the same challenging tactical gameplay and extraordinary replay value that has defined the franchise for generations. Its unforgiving nature and focus on random generation does prove frustrating at times, but also sets the stage for endless experimentation. If you can stomach the setbacks, you’ll find a lot to love.”
