Similar to Torneko's Great Adventure 3, the level is inherited in the main story. However, like past games, dungeons starting from level 1 and high-difficulty dungeons after completing the main story are also available.[3] There are more than 30 dungeons, new monsters and a new tool growth system. The player can choose between easy and normal difficulty levels to make it easier for newcomers of the genre to play. In the normal difficulty, should the player lose in a dungeon, they will lose all of their items. In contrary, they would not lose their items in the other difficulty.
Initially scheduled to be released on February 28, 2008, Shiren the Wanderer's initial Japanese release was delayed to June 2008 for quality assurance and bug fixes. In an interview article released by Atlus' business partner Sega, the game's developers stated that they would avoid making use of the Wii Remote's unique motion controls out of a concern that they would not be in line with the original, classic gameplay of prior installments. They thus came up with two control schemes that would heavily rely on analog sticks: a default one that uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk and an alternate one that employs the Classic Controller, the latter which they recommended.[4]
The game was released on June 5, 2008, in Japan by Sega, then nearly two years later in North America on February 9, 2010, by Atlus USA. Its PlayStation Portable port was released solely in Japan on January 28, 2010. The latter version was republished as a downloadable game in the Japanese PlayStation Store on May 15, 2012, then once more on July 11, 2013 with the label "Spike Chunsoft the Best".
