Most of your time in Dungeons is spent exploring them or doing jobs that you get from the Post Office’s Bulletin Board. It is a pretty neat feature for those who want to cut back spending time in a dungeon. It will be cancelled whenever the party encounters an enemy or by pushing the L button again. In that sense, good preparation is key to good exploration, this game can be a challenge with a good few difficulty spikes along the way.Īuto-mode is a new feature that you can activate with the L button that makes your party automatically explore the floor. Your party members will be stuck in that specific Dungeon until they get rescued by another team via the internet, via a password of sorts or as an added feature from Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, you can send out a new team of 3 or more Pokemon to explore the dungeon and rescue them. Like all Rogue-like games, when you faint(either by falling in combat or an empty stomach) in a dungeon you will lose all your money and items. Along with that you also need to keep in mind how full your Pokemon’s belly is, as if it runs out they will faint. You can also manage if party members should use specific moves in battle or not. You can issue various orders to your AI controlled Party members with the Tactics meeting option in the menu – varying from going together, splitting up, conserving PP for their moves, going after the enemy etc. There are also some new moves introduced from new generations like Brutal Swing from Generation 8 as an example. You can also select a move by using ZL and one of the face buttons – so for the longer dungeons PP restoring items are more important than they were in the originals. The regular attack from the original game has been removed in favour of having the A button automatically choose a move the enemy is weak against. Your Pokemon are able to move in the 8 main compass directions and during combat have 4 moves available. Each time you make a move whether it would be walking or attacking, the enemies take their action. Like most of Spike Chunsoft’s various Mystery Dungeon titles, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX will have you going through various dungeons that will have randomly-generated floor layouts, items, traps and enemies. While the setup of the plot is admittedly pretty simple, I really enjoyed the story line of the originals and the remake recaptures it well with likable characters and well-written dialogue with a lot of the charm the spin-off series is known for. I picked a Cubone and upon being a bit cheeky called him Ryuji. I was pretty content with the Pokemon the personality quiz decided for me being a Mudkip, which I named Shiraishi!Īfter that you can choose your partner Pokemon, their gender and nickname. If you don’t like the one selected you can pick a different Pokemon instead. This is used to assign you one of 16 Pokemon. How do you speak to him or her?” which was the funniest, with an answer like “WHATEVER!!!” being a legitimate answer that you could pick.įinally you get asked which gender you want to play as, and from there you get to see which type of personality you are. These include asking if you have a cheerful personality, how fast you would reply to a text or even things like “Your country’s leader is in front of you. Whichever Pokemon the player becomes is determined by a personality quiz at the start of the game which asks you a few randomized questions that come in various flavors. The story of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, much like the original duo, centers around a human who gets turned into a Pokemon and sent into the Pokemon World. On the topic of sound I really love how the soundtrack of the of the original duo have been lovingly recreated and definitely is sure to hit some nostalgic feelings of Pokemon fans who have fond memories of the originals as much as I do. In terms of performance, the game runs at 30FPS in docked mode, handheld/tabletop mode and the Switch Lite respectively, though to be fair with it being a Rogue-like dungeon crawler with turn-based combat it’s generally fine. It’s an amazing update from the original 2D sprite-based look and also adds a good bit of charm. The game has a cel-shaded watercolor aesthetic which makes it look like a storybook.
