![]() ![]() There’s also the random factor to take into account, since sometimes the ladder to the next level will appear right beside you, other times it will appear at the other side of the dungeon, and other times it will appear in the middle of a pokémon nest. You have a minimap available that completes itself the more you advance through a level, which is very helpful, especially in the bigger floors, making sure you aren’t going around in circles. It is simple enough, each level is made of interconnected rooms and corridors, so you will have to go moving through them until you find what you want. Exploration consists of searching for the exit to the next level, special items and encounters and whatever goal your rescue mission established. The core of the game is divided into three parts: exploration, combat and resource management. It has a very easy pick up and play nature to it, especially if you’ve played a Pokémon game before. You then explore the different areas the game has to offer, each one divided into a certain number of levels, whose layout is randomly generated every time. The game puts you in the shoes of a human turned Pokémon under mysterious circumstances, forming a rescue dedicated to helping other pokémon in need. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is a mix between roguelike and dungeon crawler developed by Spike Chunsoft and released on the Nintendo Switch in 2020. ![]() Still, I feel it is worth putting my cards on the table before starting. As such, while I’m going to bring my complaints of the main series to a minimum (and I mean it, I’ve stopped myself multiple times already from going on a diatribe about the series), I will mention it when I think it’s relevant for this game. ![]() ![]() and Nintendo have been taking the Pokémon series in general for the last couple of years.

The latest one, though, is not a new game, but a remake of the original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red & Blue Rescue Team, called Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX.īefore I start this review, a bit of disclosure. The original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red & Blue Rescue Team released in 2005 for the GBA and the DS, and from then on there’s been a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon on every Nintendo handheld. But the one most people are familiar with is the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, which brought attention to this series in a big way. Another interesting thing is that the Mystery Dungeon series often works as the basis for crossovers with another franchises, such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Etrian Odyssey… fundamentally altering the game’s mechanics from title to title. Starting in 1993, the Mystery Dungeon games (at least the ones I’ve played, there are quite a number of them never released outside of Japan) have managed to combine turn-based gameplay with 2D exploration of randomly generated dungeons to create quite a unique experience. I do however like the Mystery Dungeon series. As such, I’ve never been a fan of games such as The Binding of Isaac or Darkest Dungeon. The fact that I appreciate consistency and the ability to steadily progress through a game clashes with the roguelikes’ tendency of randomizing everything, from layout to encounters to resources. The roguelike is not a genre I’ve ever been very fond of. Game: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX Based of the original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, it's a blast from the past from a simpler time.
