Shiren the Wanderer
Fourth blog entry published.
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 21, 2010 - Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today demanded the release of the fourth Official Shiren Blog for the upcoming Wii™ RPG Shiren the Wanderer™ along with a companion video featuring some of the game's epic boss battles. As one would expect from an adventure spanning over 1,000 years, gamers will face a multitude of intense, strategic battles with bosses inspired by Japanese mythology. As we learned in the second blog entry ("Tactics"), they won't go down without a fight.
Excerpt:
"Shiren and crew will be stomped, slapped, shot, stabbed, and otherwise maimed if you aren't prepared to face each boss with a strategy in mind. And sometimes, even if you ARE." Click here to read the full blog entry: http://www.atlus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6024
