Review: Mystery Dungeon, Shiren The Wanderer

We should all be used to grinding in dungeon crawlers, right? We get a bit frustrated at times, especially when we die and lose ALL of our items, money, and start back to level 1, right? RIGHT?! That’s just one out of many reasons why this game has a near endless list of faults. It [...]
