All told, even with the quirky middling difficulty making this one hard to write home about, I still think Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is a fun game to play through. The postgame can be somewhat monotonous, but the main story keeps things going. Seriously, the plot is simple, but the dialogue between all of these Pokémon makes for a great experience. The mix of mature themes — life and death, protection and abandonment — with the childlike wonder of all things Pokémon keep the mind focused on the purpose of the quest, even when the quest itself is a heavy strain (or a simple frolic) for some players. If you’ve yet to try Mystery Dungeon games but want a better understanding, this might be a great starting place! If you’ve played other Pokémon Mystery Dungeon entries and appreciated their balance of challenge and storytelling, you’re likely to enjoy this remake of the one that started it all.

I'm reticent to recommend this experience to anyone who hasn't already explored a few other Mystery Dungeons in the past. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 64]

Rescue Team DX may be a remake, but it does not improve the original formula in almost any way. While the graphics and HUD had an obvious overhaul, the game is a repetitive yet somewhat charming and conflicted experience, that offers quality at the expense of some pretty weird and lazy solutions. Yet if you are a fan, you should not miss this one.

Le pongo un 6 y no más porque es el remake. Le pongo un 6 y no menos porque su predecesor es muy bueno. Mundo misterioso nace como otro de los muchos spinoffs que hizo pokémon durante la época de la DS.
Juego por turnos de mazmorreo, no muy profundo en cuanto posibilidades pero lo suficiente para ser disfrutable durante la historia, la cual no sobra, es bonita a su modo, entrañable y no te deja indiferente (algo a lo que no acostumbra pokémon). Este remake aporta nuevos toques, principalmente mejoras de calidad de vida. Sin embargo también resta, y bastante. Un juego sacado para aprovechar la nostalgia, que podría haber ido mucho más lejos como para que merezca la pena. Una última queja, que para mi mata el postgame, es la poca facilidad que te proporciona el juego para modificar tus equipos, levelear otros pokémon y crear estrategias diferentes con bichos que no sean los dos que llevaste durante la historia (he de decir que en el juego de la DS esto era peor todavía).

Que exquisita,maravillosa,sublime sensación de poder ser por fin el protagonista y a la vez el Pokémon maravilloso juego con buenos gráficos,quiero una secuela ya.

It does very good as a remake, which is a lot taking into consideration how bad Pokémon has been doing lately even for remakes. It's my favorite Pokémon spinoff and I always get back to it at some point. It makes me wish getting a remake of Explorers.

In truth, it's a game that feels endless despite its relatively short core content.

Whether playing for the first time or revisiting once again, Rescue Team DX delivers an amazing adventure that doesn’t end after the story has been beaten. The difficulty is right in the perfect spot that’s satisfying to overcome challenges, while being random and wild enough at times that some help might be needed. The art style and music making it worth hunkering down in one area to admire the surroundings, while each new area offers brand new surroundings to never get bored of. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is on par with if not superior to the original in many ways, and offers the perfect kind of journey for players looking for the latest adventure in the world of Pokémon.

Fine to fill time or bring existing pokemon fans to other styles of games, but not for much more.

Despite some balancing issues and a lack of ambition, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX still delivers the emotion and challenge that fans new and old will appreciate.

If you’re someone who has not played a Mystery Dungeon game before and are looking for a chill and passive dungeon-crawler to sit back and relax while listening to a podcast or watching a television show, this will work wonders for you. Just don’t expect a deep Pokemon RPG with meaningful progression or impressive visuals.

A thoroughly uninteresting roguelike that undermines the most compelling elements of both the genre and the Pokémon universe.

It's a game that feels very niche throughout, and that's because it is. Before this version give the artwork a big upgrade, on the DS the Mystery Dungeon games felt very much "indie title with a Pokémon skin on top", and was a sharp divergence away from what the core series was all about. Rescue Team DX feels the same way, but much more polished visually and with some quality of life additions. Surprisingly, in many ways it's harder than the originals, whcih was a pleasant surprise for me. The critics didn't understand the game when first released and don't understand it now, hence the mediocre reviews - it's not meant to be a 'Pokémon' game, it's a spinoff, and a very good one. It's a hard game to explain, so I'd recommend trying the free demo before purchasing. If you like that, you'll like the final game. I'd also say try getting a physical copy second hand maybe, as the asking price is a bit too steep for what the game is.

Short, boring, easy and annoying. Finally do some new age pokemon games, not retro GBA remakes.
