Spike Chunsoft has released the second part of the Plus Pack DLC for their Nintendo Switch exclusive roguelike RPG Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island. This new addition, available through the season pass, brings a range of content to the game, including a new playable character and ten additional dungeons. Alongside the DLC, a fourth free update introduces new gameplay elements, including three dungeons and a Live Display option.
The latest Plus Pack DLC offers players new content and challenges. These include:
- Asuka as a Playable Character: Players can now select Asuka, a skilled swordswoman with high attack power and critical hit potential but lower defence and HP, in the game’s Sacred Tree mode. Asuka can equip gear and engage in combat with a more aggressive play style. She becomes available after players unlock the Sacred Tree mode and complete specific events.
- Five New Dungeons: The DLC adds five unique dungeons for advanced players:
- Training Path of Deadly Strikes: Both players and monsters have just 1 HP, making each move critical. Strategies that allow preemptive attacks are essential, as no experience is earned from defeating enemies.
- Battleground of the Rivals: This dungeon pits players against the formidable bosses Jakaku, Madara, Embodiment of Batsu, and Embodiment of Suiryu on its final floors.
- Timeworn Cave: Designed with a classic dungeon experience in mind, it omits newer features such as Sacred gear and Wishing Shrines.
- Floral Garden: Incense effects activate at random intervals, adding a layer of unpredictability.
- Soul of Serpentcoil Island: A challenging dungeon that exceeds the difficulty of Heart of Serpentcoil Island.
The Plus Pack, which includes both Part 1 and Part 2, is priced at $14.99 USD. Both parts are only available as a bundle and require the main game to play.
For those looking to enjoy just the free content update, the following features are now available:
Three New Dungeons: Accessible after completing the Serpentcoil Island storyline, these dungeons offer varying challenges:
- Training Path of Hiding: This dungeon focuses on survival through Hiding Pots, allowing players to hide from enemies or trap monsters.
- Cliff of Condensing: A high-difficulty, 25-floor dungeon where enemies grow progressively stronger.
- Wild Monster Path: A chaotic dungeon filled with monsters that respawn frequently.
New Live Display Type: A third Live Display option has been added, which resembles Type 1 but removes the price display, providing a larger gameplay view.
