Whether you choose to play any of the officially translated titles or any of the Japanese only releases in the series, this page is designed to help you understand the basics of how things work. This page is dedicated to Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer. For information on the other games in the franchise, see the links below.

Movement:

Turns

Gameplay in Mystery Dungeon moves in increments, therefore time is irrelevant. Players have infinite time to decide what to do in their turn, and once they move, monsters will move, and so on.

Movement Speed

Depending on your speed, you can alter the number of actions you can perform before monsters have their turn. There are four different speeds:

• Slow: For every two moves the player makes, they will only have one move.
• Normal: default speed.
• Double Speed-Single Attack: Can move twice for each of the players moves, but cannot attack twice in one turn.
• Double Speed-Double Attack: Can move twice for each of the players moves, and is able to attack twice in one turn.

Some Monsters will naturally move at a different speed than 'normal'.
