My friend helped me find it; you go to C:\Users[your pc]\AppData\Roaming\Goldberg SteamEmu Saves\1178790\remote and copy the file there. Then when you buy the game you can start it, make a save, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata[yoursteamID]\1178790\remote and paste the file there. Don't forget to deactivate steam cloud before swapping the files.

I don't know where y'all been cause a lot of people know this game and it is very popular. It is so sad that you know Pokemon mystery dungeon but not this even though pokemon mystery dungeon probably wouldn't exist if not for this game and the games like it.

Why complain some kids grew with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon instead of Shiren the Wanderer? lmao The casual filter is high on this one so they'll drop this anyway

There are some interesting things making you sad...
And yeah, this game also wouldn't exist if the whole "Rogue-Like" genre wouldn't exist.
But I think that "Mystery Dungeon" would exist, even without "Shiren The Wanderer".

To be specific, this game wouldn't exist if Rogue didn't exist, Mystery Dungeon games maintain certain interesting features from Rogue that western rogue-likes were very quick to get rid of I assume western rogue-likes did so due to recognizing that Rogue was trying to be like D&D but due to various constraints had to settle for having a single attribute(strength), no classes and no dedicated ranged weapons and bunch of other stuff. But Mystery Dungeon games clearly didn't care about the D&D connection and were mainly inspired by Rogue itself and not what it was trying to be, meaning Mystery Dungeon games are probably the purest Rogue-likes still being made.

Open the game launcher and look for input settings. You should change the keyboard settings to Xbox controller.

Shiren is part of the mystery dungeon series. That's why they are similar, they have the same developer and are part of the same series.

Very similar gameplay, only this is a more traditional rogue-like, where your character resets to Level 1 when they die, and the game is more heavily equipment based.

oh wow so its Final Fantasy III meets Zelda a link to the past.
This is literally the game i have dreamed of for 20 years!
i always wondered why they never made a FF game like this for ps1. i know why couldnt do Real time fighting on the SNES due to limitations but the moment the playstation dropped they could have i think they just got so caught up in 3d tech they sacrificed moment to moment gameplay fort "mug graphix" finally some one made i tho!

It's based on Mystery Dungeon Torneko from 1993 for SNES from the same developer, which is based on Rogue from 1980. (Which makes it a Roguelike, a game based on Rogue) It's not based on FF3 or Zelda.
You can check Chocobo's Dungeon 2, which is a FF game similar to this for PS1. There is also Chocobo no Fushigi na Dungeon (Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon), but that one is Japanese only.

I bought torneko not knowing wtf it was. I saw the Akira Toriyama art, and it said something about dragon warrior, and I just finished dragon warrior monsters, man was I confused and bummed about that game. it was prob fine, just not what my 13 year old brain wanted at the time

you must have been in a coma because if you've play any somewhat recent console or handheld you would have seen this game once or twice since it is rather old and quite well known it was on all sorts of things though I'm not gonna go too far in the past it was on the gba, psp, NDS, 3DS, PS VITA and I'm pretty sure it may have been on ps1 ps2 and ps3 but don't quote me on that

shorten all file names which are leading to your game file's path, it worked for me. ('Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate' -----> 'Shiren' for example)

The more I google about this game, the more I'm amazed and extremely confused at the same time.
First of all, the first Shiren was released on... SUPER NES, in 1993 ? Wow... I had no idea.
It was called "Torneko no Daibōken: Fushigi no Dungeon" (Fushigi no Dungeon 1).
Japanese titles were very different from English ones.
Fushigi no Dungeon 2 also came out on Super Nes in 1995.
I'm also very surprised because the first "rogueLITE" games I played were in the 2010s...
I don't remember playing any roguelite games on Super Nes or Megadrive.
This is really cool!
Secondly, this game seems to be a remaster of the DS game which came out in 2010?
But which one? This is confusing, because the titles were a bit different.
I don't remember having "The tower of fortune and the dice of fate" on Nintendo DS, but only "Mystery Dungeon : Shiren The Wanderer".
This is why I was confused by the Wikipedia page and couldn't find the game in my DS roms collection. lol
The Fushigi no Dungeon games were never translated on Super Famicom (except some fan translations, of course). "Mystery Dungeon" on DS is in English, though.
By the way, I'm also reading that the PSP version which came out in 2015 was AGAIN another updated version. (and it was localized in English)
Edit : I read some comments in the Steam forums saying that it was a remaster of the very first game from 1993 but it was wrong after all. Developers say it's officially "Fushigi no Dungeon 5", and not a remaster of anything.
It's an "updated" and much improved version of the game which was released on DS in 2010 and PSP in 2015.
Anyway, it looks really nice and I'm downloading it right away. Thanks, IGG!😉
Edit #2 : After one hour of research, I finally have my answer.
The game I have on DS, Mystery Dungeon : Shiren The Wanderer, is a REMAKE of the very first original game on Super Nintendo, which is why I was so incredibly confused when people told me that this game, "Tower of fortune and the dice of fate", was a remaster of the DS game.
OMG...
So, here how it looks :
Nintendo DS : Mystery Dungeon : Shiren the Wanderer = Fushigi no Dungeon 1 (REMAKE)
Nintendo DS : Fuurai no Shiren 5 - Fortun Tower to Unmei no Dice = Fushigi no Dungeon 5
PC : Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate = Fushigi no Dungeon 5 (improved version)

Nintendo DS : Mystery Dungeon : Shiren the Wanderer = Fushigi no Dungeon 1 (REMAKE)
Not quite. Shiren the Wanderer was the second Fushigi no Dungeon game. The first one was a Dragon Quest IV spinoff starring the merchant character Torneko, and it has its own numbered sequels:
Fushigi no Dungeon: Torneko no Daibouken (SNES)
Fushigi no Dungeon: Torneko no Daibouken 2 (PSX/GBA)
|_ [PSX version released in the US as "Torneko: The Last Hope"]
Fushigi no Dungeon: Torneko no Daibouken 3 (PS2/GBA)
Shiren the Wanderer was the second Fushigi no Dungeon game and started its own series also numbered:
Fushigi no Dungeon 2: Fuurai no Shiren (SNES/DS/Mobile)
|_
[DS port released in the US as "Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer"]
Fushigi no Dungeon: Fuurai no Shiren 2 (N64)
Fushigi no Dungeon: Fuurai no Shiren 3 (Wii/PSP)
|_ [Wii version Released in the US as "Shiren the Wanderer"]
Fushigi no Dungeon: Fuurai no Shiren 4 (DS/PSP)
Fushigi no Dungeon: Fuurai no Shiren 5 (DS/Vita/PC)
|_
[Vita port released in the US]
|___ [Windows port released in the US] <-- You Are Here
Also by the same developers: The PS2 game "Nightmare of Druaga", the entire "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon" series, and "Etrian Mystery Dungeon". Plus the first five "Dragon Quest" / "Dragon Warrior" games on NES and SNES.

it's quite normal for the names to change, take example of Castlevania where in the origin is known as Akumajou Dracula. It is done to make it more appealing in the west while the whole meaning of the title might be a whole different thing
btw, after looking for some sauce, this game looks quite challenging but idk if i could handle real time tactics now since it's tactics + roguelite where it makes tactics game even harder to play

Yeah I know. In fact, I'm often surprised when I see that even simple platformers like Quackshot on Megadrive get much longer names in Japanese : "I Love Donald Duck: Georgia Ou no Hihou". lol

indeed some of the best games ever. when polled over half of all gamers would sacrifice all games made after 2010 simply to keep the games made before then (if you could chose all games made before 2010 or all games after was the question). Proving once again that
a) story and feel over graphics does seem the more treasured feature
b) single player and COOP are indeed far more liked by gamers universally(single play aint dead baby!)
c) battle royal games suck
D)MTX, greed, and half made games like anthem are truly reviled
E) The feature of making all console connected to internet has drastically effected games in a negative way as games like this one were finished with no day one patches so devs being given the leway to release now fix later truly has made post 2010 gaming lackluster and broken messes.
ps1 n snes for life!
