What players say
All-in-all, if you know the genre, this game is ok. Naturally this is a bit of an old example of the genre but it's not too different. Still very enjoyable if you can get it at a decent price.
shiren the wanderer : the tower of fortune and the dice of fate and oh man is this the consequences of my action resulting in me wiping and costing me a good run?! a solid game, some fantastic mechanics but not for the faint of heart!
Too luck based, movement outside dungeon is so slow. Never know i will hate mystery dungeon when there is no pokemon until I actually played this. Only if u are hardcore rougelite player this outdated game is not recommanded.
