Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island

This is an adventure role-playing game in which players assume the role of a wanderer searching for island treasure. From a ¾-overhead perspective, players explore towns, interact with characters, and fight their way through dungeons. Players use swords and arrows to defeat fantastical enemies (e.g., elemental ninjas, spearfish) in turn-based combat. Battles are highlighted by impact sounds, light effects, and dwindling health bars; enemies generally disappear when defeated. During battles, players can consume sweet potatoes, resulting in flatulence cloud effects and accompanying text (e.g., “Makes you fart, sending all beings in the room running.”). One sequence depicts a drunk character (e.g., hiccupping, swaying) that is referred to as “a lousy lush.”
