Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 4 Plus - The Eye of God and the Devil's Navel (Japanese: 不思議のダンジョン 風来のシレン4plus 神の眼と悪魔のヘソ, Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 4 Plus - The Eye of God and the Devil's Navel), originally released in 2012, is the second Shiren the Wanderer game released for the PlayStation Portable and the eighth game released overall.
It has never been officially translated, and is commonly referred to by fans in both the English and Japanese communities by the short name Shiren 4 Plus, and when referring to the PlayStation Portable release, Shiren 4 PSP, despite there only being two PSP releases overall. The localized name comes from the Shiren the Wanderer Series Limited Edition Art Book.
Gameplay
Shiren the Wanderer 4 is a role-playing video game in which the player explores dungeons that change each time they enter them and that are home to monsters. The game has a day-and-night system; when it gets dark, the dungeons get more difficult to navigate, and the type of monsters that are encountered are stronger. Dungeons consist of several rooms that are connected through narrow hallways; in some hallways, there are traps set up. At some points in dungeons, the player can hide behind doors that they can attack through but that enemies cannot pass through.
Plot
After Shiren and the talking weasel Koppa suffer a shipwreck, they are found by the inhabitants of an island, who think they are monsters; they are tied to a stake, but are saved by the game's heroine, Kamina. As a result, Kamina gets tied up herself by a jaguar priest who sends Shiren to find the Jaguar's Eye to prove that he is not a demon.
Development
An expanded version, Shiren the Wanderer 4 Plus, which includes three new dungeons and Twitter support, was released by Spike Chunsoft for the PlayStation Portable on October 18, 2012. Tokihiro Naito was the director for this version, and was chosen for his work on role-playing games such as Hydlide.
