Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team

The lesson here is that just because the license is for kids, the game doesn't have to be. There's a reason this sort of gameplay has been around for over 25 years: it works, whether you're a green squirrel or an @. And Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is the game to prove it.

Mystery Dungeon is not perfect, but its robust and original aspects form a game more solid than many expected. [Nov. 2006, p.86]

The Mystery Dungeon games are definitely different than most Pokémon games, and there's fun to be had with them, but there are still a lot of better games available on the GBA, which makes Red Rescue Team difficult to recommend.

While ploughing through the dungeons becomes repetitive, following your character's evolution and steady growth in skills becomes addictive.

Dungeon-crawling is deadly dull. [Dec 2006, p.50]

The game is a rapidly wearisome, dull dungeon crawling adventure with repetitive maps, dialogue and gameplay.

De lo mejor en GBA, sigo sin creer que un juego así corra en una consola con esas limitaciones. Personajes 10/10, jugabilidad 10/10, historia 10/10 y el postgame* 11/10. * No es un postgame clásico de pocas horas y algo repetitivo, es bastante largo y con muchas historias relacionadas entre sí que son bastante divertidas y más complejas que la historia principal.

Overall, the game is a decent RPG for fans of Pokemon. Hardcore role players may discover the game ends too soon. It takes a veteran player less than twenty-five hours to solve the main story if they do not go out of their way to do anything else.

The game is simplistic, kinda repetitive, but have a linear point in gameplay, the character have expressions, is a cute game, the test was very funny, is for people who truly likes this kind of rpg dungeon, is not bad.

No me gusta ponerle una nota "amarilla", pero la verdad es tremendo juego y si no existiera su versión DX para la Switch, este sería fácil un 8. El problema es que esa versión actualizada deja ver los errores de este, que para su momento estuvo genial, pero son errores que siguen estando. El juego es simplemente muy de farmear...y es exageradamente tedioso hacerlo. La IA de tus compañeros es horrenda y en general construir equipos es muy complicado y tedioso, llevando a jugadores que no se lo tomen de un modo muy hardcore a llevar permanentemente sus iniciales durante toda la partida. En general buen juego con mecánicas muy pasadas de fecha, existiendo la versión DX, a este el verdadero valor se lo veo en el estilo gráfico retro. (misma nota para el de DS)

The only appeal is being getting isekai'd into the Pokemon world. Barely enough interesting story beats, randomized dungeons with not enough mechanics to not end up being boring, not much to do in the town besides shops and talking to NPCs. I feel like I wasted my time playing this game, the sequel was way better.
