What is Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate?

A 2D, grid-based roguelike dungeon crawler built around turn-based runs. You guide Shiren and his talking ferret companion, Koppa, through changing floors, fighting monsters, avoiding traps, collecting items, and finding stairs as they attempt to climb the Tower of Fortune.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy slow, tactical turn-based dungeon runs
  • +you like adapting to changing layouts and item finds
  • +you want steep difficulty with many mechanics to learn

Not for you if...

  • you prefer real-time combat over methodical turns
  • you want a simple dungeon crawler with few systems
  • you expect a relaxed and forgiving difficulty curve

What players say

76% of 950 reviews are positive

Players praise the tactical depth, range of dungeons, and how each failed run teaches the game’s systems. Common complaints focus on losing levels and equipment after death and clunky menu management; some recent players also report crashes that erase a run.
