Kyle Stepp has posted up a review for the game Shiren the Wanderer on the Wii. Scoring it an eight out of ten, they describe it as an "entertaining dungeon-crawler", albeit with some flaws.

When Shiren the Wanderer's opening cutscene unfurls, you're instantly drawn into a world with a gorgeous Japanese art style reminiscent of titles such as Okami and Muramasa. Eggshell clouds part to reveal a mountaintop that looks like something from a rice-paper painting come to life. The presentation shifts from that to watercolor still shots that relay a back story, then those still shots come to life in the form of impressive GG animation featuring the game's cast of characters. The scene concludes with the titular Shiren gazing across a moon-lit field as the papery appearance returns. After viewing that opening sequence, one might believe that Shiren the Wanderer is an artful masterpiece. Then you actually play the game.
