Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate (Japanese: 不思議のダンジョン 風来(ふうらい)のシレン5plus フォーチュンタワーと運命(うんめい)のダイス, Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 5 Plus: Fortune Tower and the Dice of Fate) is the ninth Shiren the Wanderer game, developed and published by Spike Chunsoft in Japan for the PlayStation Vita in 2015. The game was later published by Aksys Games in the west in 2016.

Gameplay

The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate is a roguelike role-playing video game in which the player traverses randomized dungeons and fights monsters. In dungeons, the player can find treasures, as well as items and equipment that they can collect and use. If the player dies, they lose their items, their level resets to one, the dungeons change, and the monsters change positions. The game has a day-and-night system; as the in-game sun sets, the player character's vision decreases, making it impossible to see enemies that are too far away. At some points in dungeons, the player needs to solve puzzles.

Plot

" Legend has it that Reeva, god of Destiny, holds sway over the past, present, and future. Said to dwell in the mysterious Tower of Fortune, Reeva decides the fates of all mankind with a trio of magic dice… Lead Shiren The Wanderer and his sidekick Koppa in their quest to conquer the Tower of Fortune![1] „

The story begins as Oyu, a young girl from a small town suffers from an illness and Jirokichi, her childhood friend, goes forth towards the tower to change her fate. They are guided through the tower by Tao, a girl in a panda suit, and encounter other characters thorough the story: Okon and Koharu; Gen; and Kojirouta. Shiren and Jirokichi eventually climb the tower to fight against the ruler of fate himself, Reeva.
