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).

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.

Beautiful PMD game. In truth I don't think it is for everyone, but these games make the best use of the Pokemon setting for storytelling as far as games go.

This game was a meh to me. The 3 things I like to do in a Pokémon game are: make a team, collect and evolve them, and they're not on this game. However the biggest problem is the story. This was my 2nd PMD, same story as the one I played on the DS. Thankfully, it's finished now.

A average dungeon crawler, with just a pokemon coating. The more I play it, the more I want to play the main series of pokemon games, or AO Dungeon Crawlers.

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.

I love this game, it is very entertaining. The gameplay lives up to the originals quite well while introducing fun new mechanics and elements. This title deserves a lot more love than these "critics" want to give it. The formula is fun and addicting, and this game improves on it very well. Furthermore, The story is goofy and interesting. I would definitely recommend this title.

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

Significantly worse than the original took away any value of visiting friend areas, made it so all you party memebers waste your throwables without your consent, the only tjing of value added was mega evolutions and it was not worth the price we paid

Un soplo de aire fresco al clásico original. Las mejoras de vida que añade son simplemente maravillosas. ¿Hacen el juego más fácil? Si, definitivamente, pero para mi lo hacen absolutamente superior al original. Para mi este juego es un 8'5/9, no más porque aun con todas las mejoras, sigue siendo el mismo juego que su versión original y creo que habría podido tener algo de contenido o modo post game extra.

The game itself is definitely good, but I do feel a bit rip off. It felt like they pull a pokemon brilliant diamond treatment, added a few things but the story, gameplay and everything else feels the same as the original 3DS counterpart.

Horrendous remasters and a terrible job on the visual representation. The original games were better at everything.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX is a game where you play as a human turned into a Pokemon, that goes on rescue excursions in dungeons. Honestly, out of all the Pokemon games, the Mystery Dungeon games have been my favorite. The objective of having to enter dungeons to engage in search & rescue missions is fascinating. There are dozens of worlds to adventure in, with hundreds of unique Pokemon characters, and infinite rescue missions. The story-mode itself takes roughly 20-30 hours, depending on your skill level. As with previous Pokemon Mystery Dungeon titles, essential reading skill is preferred for the player (or someone to interpret) to enjoy the story. Otherwise, rescue missions themselves require simply being able to identify dungeons and respective rescue floor numbers. It is not required to memorize the physical appearance or names of the 300+ Pokemon featured in this game. The game makes it very easy to inform you within a dungeon- when you are on a floor with a rescue client. This can be especially helpful when you're doing multiple rescue missions within the same dungeon. After passing the story-mode, one could easily play this game for hundreds, if not thousands of hours. The earlier dungeons have a few floors, taking minutes to solve a rescue. However, later dungeons (unlocked after story-mode) have up to 99 floors, taking at least an hour per dungeon. For younger audiences or those easily startled, some of the cut-scenes depict Pokemon engaging in nonviolent combat sequences. Some of the story-mode plot itself involves natural disasters induced by some Pokemon creatures. There is also a team of antagonists, actually called 'Team Meanies', that value fame and wealth more than the well-being of their rescue clients. It needs to be stated that the watercolor visuals in this game are simply gorgeous. The dungeons have unique soundtracks, offering atmospheric adventures. Even if you're not a fan of Pokemon, if you like fantasy-like creature/animals and the concept of rescue, this game is highly engaging.

A great game that immerses us in an adventure in which we become a Pokemon depending on a test at the beginning of the game. With some very nice renewed graphics we start the adventure with our partner and we find out what happened to us and what we can do as pokemon, and the game tells the story very well making us get into the story to know what happens or know what we has happened, we can get to know more pokemon that will help us in the city or in combat doing missions to rescue other pokemon, the duration is very long having a good difficulty with enough content, how bad the progression system and the game itself are does a little repetitive. PS: Whoever has played the previous ones, this remake is more than recommended, you will enjoy them. Graphics 8/10 Music 9/10 Gameplay 8/10 Duration 10/10 History 9/10 Difficulty 8/10

I loved Pokémon Mystery Dungeon on the DS and this game is very loyal to the original. The textures that that they used to animate the Pokémon are adorable. I haven't played many roguelike games but with Pokémon always put a smile on my face. Also some of the final dungeons to complete the game with every legendary are very hard and challenging! And i also love the fact that mega evolutions were introduce.

I had a blast playing through this game. If you're a fan of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, then this game is an excellent modern spin on Red and Blue Rescue team and a must have. The watercolor art style is gorgeous, and the updated music is so good. Recruitment is fantastic and satisfying in this game, and having a list of other players to rescue online is a great addition. The game does get a little repetitive at times, but other than that it's just a great time

This game is truly something special. I did play this as a kid, and maybe it's just nostalgia, but damn I love this game. It's fun, it has a simple story, but a touching one at that. It's honestly a real tear jerker. The new artwork is INCREDIBLE, and even 15 years later, Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team and this 2020 remaster is one of my all time favorite games. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Besides the moving story telling, this game is even more suitable for single play without other players.

I am a big fan of the main Pokemon games and unfortunately I cannot recommend this one. The graphics are nice but they game is extremely slow, dull and monotonous. I also loved the old PS1 Digimon games that were similar to this but those at least had a more fleshed out battle system.

A great remaster **** game; the mystery dungeon genre has always been niche, but this original entry into the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series proved to be solid upon its release in 2005, and still proves to be a strong example of the genre's strengths today, with several valuable quality of life improvements and a wonderful facelift of audio and visuals alike that lets this game truly shine. Rescue Team DX stands as the best way to play this great game, and serves as a great option for switch owners who enjoy this niche genre.

I never played the original one (part of it due to the multiple versions of the same game), so... Still really hate how they changed the stuff from the other games like moves that had little effect against a type now have no effect like in the core games an' basic attacks being gone altogether (which is stupid). The story is pretty bland compared to the other games, but I guess it's forgivable since it was the first game in this series.

This game is so charming. The art-style is really pretty, the story is fantastic, and the gameplay is fun too (although I can understand the gameplay may not be loved by everyone). Also, the amount of content is huge! The post-game is even longer than the main-story; you could easily get over 100 hours out of this game! It's a great remake to a great game from my childhood!

A remastered version of one of the greatest games ever created. This game keeps the charm as well as the best parts of the original while creating a beautiful new look for the series. I could not recommend this game enough.

Ultimately, compared to its original release, not a lot changed in Rescue Team DX. It's got a new graphic style with a real identity, completes evolution lines updated by Gen IV, and adds a mechanics update to match the series as it is now. But almost everything else is very much the same to the original, when most of the unchanged factors could have used a bit of TLC. Still, that's no reason to give it a bad score. Improvements are improvements, and giving a much loved series its desperately needed revival was easily the right move to make. I gave the original game a 9, so this game gets a bit higher.

When I picked up this game, I remembered as a kid enjoying this game a lot even though I couldn’t beat it, I thought now I could come back and finish the game. Coming back to it, I was disappointed with it. The graphics are pretty and stylized but felt the resolution for some backdrops should’ve been clearer and not so blurry. The gameplay got tedious and repetitive and exploring the dungeons is clunky, what’s worse is these dungeons are the main core gameplay. Also the game has some pretty bad designs that are tedious, Why can’t you buy multiple items at the store? Why must you go through each result rewards with each quest you do? Why is it unskippable when you are greeted by your partner and Pelipper delivers the mail? The story in my opinion was not engaging at all and towards the end felt I was just trudging my way toward the end just to finish it. Also, the section where you’re cast off from the main hub halts the pacing and momentum of the game. Some moments were appreciated and brought a smile to my face and the idle animations(specifically Bulbasaur) give more life to the Pokémon. Also evolution should've been throughout the game rather than given as post game since you can just skip the second evolutions, it would’ve given me a sense of growth/progression. The game was just meh to me. Play Time: 21 hrs.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX A love Hate Relationship This is a remake of a now 15 year old game, so needless to say this game features only the first 3 generations of pokemon.. Here you start by chosing 2 characters of different types from all 9 starters with a mix of others such as pickachu.. however I must urge you to pick your favorite based on the pokemon as they are.. not their evolution forms which ill get into later… so I chose charmander even though Typhlosion is my favorite fire type… basically youre a human that takes the form of pokemon for an unknown reason.. a reason that you seek to find… in the mean time you made a great friend that wants to start a rescue team.. a real pokemon that wants help helping other pokemon, so you two set out on an adventure together to help pokemon in need in these myster dungeons, fast forward to the base of the game. This is a game where you set out with a team of up to 3 pokemon, and complete tasks given to you on a bulliten board, you then go to the precudurally generated dungeon where these tasks are and youclib the floor until all are done… these tasks are all super easy and just require oyu to get to the floor and interact with an item… and thankfully youre able to do every mission in that dungeon in one go so you don’t have to keep climbing…. After you turn in your missions youre rewarde with items that can also be found in dungeon.. these items help with refilling your power points, health, give you dojo tickets so you can level up your characters faster among oether things.. youll also be rewarded with cash that you can use to purchase camps… this is where the whole pokemon part of pokemone mystery dungeon comes into play… as youre going through completing missions, both story and optional, youll be battling pokemon however in a grid format, so you have to actively chose to go diagonal for example rather than just move your charcter like you can up down left and right… which gets really annoying during battles.. after you defeat pokemon sometimes they will decide to join you on your journey… wah lah.. catching them all… but its not so simple as the mchosing to joing your rescue team, you must also escape the dungeon with them alive.. as well as have purchased the camp for them to stay at… you can then add them to your team and go out on adventures with them…. However… pokemon mystery dungeons tries its hardest to snuff out any sort of pokemon in this pokemon game aside from these initial grindy tactics… this is a very story based game so youre kinda locked to the first 2 characters you chose, youre third character has to be from the wild, and you don’t really have much choice in who your third partner is… it isn’t oh I have a pokemon in mind I want as my third, let me go hunt them down… because the best pokemon are locked off until this 18 hour journey is over.. the starters are all locked off in post game when you get 6 new locations to go to… which kills the whole collecting and strategy aspect of a strategy based collecting game… it isn’t im about to go take on moltres let me go grab a squirtle and level it up to aid me in this battle.. water types are basically non existent in this world until you’ve beaten the game… there are only a couple options for electric types as well… killing incentive to build special teams for different dungeons… not that you could anyway as again youre eseentially tied to the first 2 you chose for story purposes… and worse is.. theres no evolution… you cant evolve your pokemon until post game either… which is all the fun of leveling up… this is basically a game of grind and monotony, and developers knew this.. theres even an auto walk button where the game plays itself… it grinds for you.. to add to the grind of this game if you die in a dungeon you can either send in a new team to rescue you or chose to fail the mission and lose all money or items in your possession.. that right all.. not just what you picked up in dungeon.. literally every item in your posession is gone… But either way youre forced to replay the dungeon… rather than just be sent back to a checkpoint… I became so frustrated with this mechanic that I would quit out of the game completely when id die during a cheap moment and quickly use a revive item to keep going before I lost it all… that being said… I love the world of pokemon so much that I still stuck through.. I needed breaks but it had its hooks in me.. If youre not a fan of pokemon, mystery dungeon wont change that… infact if pokemon weren’t attached to it, I would’ve stopped playing long before credits rolled.. but I just couldn’t stop…and for my the ending made it all worth it.. its just a shame that everything that makes pokemon pokemon is saved for the post game… That’s when the true catching them all begins… Sadly when youre already over it…

The game is perfectly fine as a remake with alot of content and replayability I feel people only hate on the game because they added quality of life features that make the game slightly easier etc or that they expected it to be a Pokemon game and were disappointed it wasn't the usual type because they didn't do any research

A really good remake of a really good game. Perfect for playing during your mandated zoom meetings if that;s what you're looking for as the auto mode means most of the time u can just spam A and get away with playing. Otherwise it's still a great game for casual play. New features improve on the past game and I highly recommend it for something to just do in the background.

amazing. beautiful. plenty of content worth HOURS of game play. go add every Pokemon to your team. go catch every legendary and shiny available. bring your team to MAX rank. clear EVERY dungeon. chances are you still haven't done all of this. Plenty of content very addicting super fun.
