Fushigi no Dungeon: Fuurai no Shiren 4 - Kami no Hitomi to Akuma no Heso

Summary

Shiren the Wanderer 4: The Eye of God and the Devil's Navel (often just called Shiren the Wanderer 4) drops you into the ever‑shifting labyrinths that define the Mystery Dungeon franchise. Each time you step into a dungeon, the layout reshuffles, rooms link through tight corridors, and hidden traps lie in wait, forcing you to think on your feet. A clever day‑and‑night cycle adds another layer of tension: as darkness falls, the corridors grow more treacherous and the monsters become noticeably tougher, while you can still take cover behind doors that let you strike without exposing yourself. The Nintendo DS version launched in Japan on February 25, 2010, and managed to rank seventh in its debut week, moving about 41,000 copies—a solid showing for a niche roguelike title. All of these quirks combine to make Shiren the Wanderer 4 a memorable, if challenging, adventure for anyone who loves procedural dungeons and strategic combat.

Storyline

In *Fushigi no Dungeon: Fuurai no Shiren 4 – Kami no Hitomi to Akuma no Heso* (often called *Shiren the Wanderer 4*), Shiren and his chatty weasel companion Koppa are shipwrecked on a mysterious island. The locals, convinced the duo are monsters, bind them to a stake, but a brave heroine named Kamina intervenes and frees them. Grateful yet uneasy, Kamina soon finds herself captured by a jaguar priest who believes she is a demon. The priest orders Shiren to retrieve the legendary Jaguar’s Eye, a relic that could prove his innocence. The quest sets the stage for Shiren’s peril‑filled adventure through the island’s hidden dungeons.
