Many say that Shiren is unfair and too hard but in the end it's not so hard if you just know how to play it. You have staffs,scrolls,jars,meat,herbs and swords and shields in this game so it isin't complex game but the real challenge is to master the use of these items. There is staffs that paralyzes your enemies, slow down your enemies and staffs that just damage certain types of enemies. Scrolls have more variety and there is more than just damage dealing scrolls. Someone of them shows layout of the dungeon floor and others puts enemies on diffrent kind of state like confused and sleep. Meats turn the player to enemy that meat it eats so if you know the special abilites of your enemy you make great use of they meat. You can upgrade your shields to have more defense and your swords to have more damage but there is more thant just adding defence and damage. If you have melding jars you can add to your shield or swords special abilities from other swords and shields. It basicaly works on this way.

1. You put the your primary shield on melding jar first
2. Then you the other shield there that have some kind off special ability like slows hunger or halves explosion damage.
3. Then you just break the jar and your primary shield haves that special ability now.

Shiren isin't so long game (Main dungeon has 30 floors) but its fun to play so it keeps you grinding enemies to get those super cool and rare swords and shields. And after you beat it you get six bonus dungeons that adds more challenge to game. Shiren is great game and its pretty cheap so buy it if you see it and you wont regret it.
