Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer GB - Monster of Moonlight Village
(Japanese: 不思議のダンジョン 風来のシレンGB 月影村の怪物) is a roguelike role-playing video game developed by Aquamarine. It's the third game in the Shiren the Wanderer series, and was reportedly in development at the same time as the Super Famicom release of Shiren 1[Citation needed]. It was originally released for the Game Boy by Chunsoft in 1996, making it Chunsoft's first Game Boy title. Moonlight Village introduced the Second Batch of Monster Families to the series, including the secondary mascot, the Chintala.
A Microsoft Windows remake, Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer - Monster of Moonlight Village (Japanese: 不思議のダンジョン風来のシレン 月影村の怪物), featuring enhanced graphics similar to its previous game on Super Famicom, would be later released in 1999 and re-released later with internet compatibility in 2002. A port of the remake was released on Android in 2011.
While the game's title did not appear in the 2020 Spike Chunsoft product survey, the localized name's format comes from other titles in the survey.
Gameplay
In consideration of the performance of the non-colored Game Boy, the level of the monster expressed by their different color models is displayed with a superscript number. When using the Super Game Boy add-on, a unique picture frame is displayed and color display is possible. In addition, a puzzle mode titled "Fay's Questions" has become independent from the main story, and can be selected at any time, totaling 100 challenges, 50 of which are unlocked initially. Later on the Microsoft Windows port, the game allows you to create your own puzzles. In addition, the Internet edition was equipped with additional features such as rescues and a weekly added dungeon.
Plot
The story happens between Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer and Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 4 - The Eye of God and the Devil's Navel. The game's plot is about rescuing a sacrificed child and unraveling the mystery of the monsters that plague Moonlight Village, where Shiren is stopped by during his trip.
Development
A unique gameplay element that would be used in later games from the Shiren the Wanderer series and other Mystery Dungeon crossovers is rescuing other players via passwords. When the internet started to develop in Japan in the late 1990s, they went with the idea of players sharing passwords instead of them using the Game Boy's Game Link Cable in order to help others, since there were not many owners of the cable.
