Gummies can fill your belly along with apples, so keeping some on hand while still leaving room in your limited inventory is a must for longer dungeons.Nothing makes you feel older than being reminded how many generations of gaming have passed before a game gets a remake. While exploring dungeons, hunger can set in and will start to cause damage if your belly meter is empty. For whatever reason, the player character can also learn these behaviors, but the lack of an option to switch party member control essentially makes them useless. While a lot of these can help prevent your partners from wasting PP, they will not always use the most effective moves on enemies and often will not approach a fight, forcing you to manage their set moves and positioning. By feeding your friends gummies of different colors, they will learn different IQ behaviors that can be selected to make the AI perform better. There is no option but to rely on your partners’ AI and it is not always the greatest. This section also brings a noticeable spike in difficulty that plummets after the game opens back up again, making the natural level curve pretty sloppy. I did have to grind at this point, but you are provided with lower level areas to train in before tackling each of the back-to-back dungeons. There is a long section of linearity in the middle that drastically alters the pacing and prevents any side quests from being completed for quite a while. While the main story is pretty short, there is a ton of post game content with lots of new dungeons. Most of the missions are procedurally generated and all of them boil down to the same basic mission: locate a Pokémon on a certain dungeon floor, though the turn based combat combined with exploration makes for a fun experience. As is expected with any rogue-like, the dungeons are not very interesting in terms of layout, however the elements from the mainline Pokémon titles are well integrated, with teammates gaining EXP, learning new moves, and eventually evolving over the course of the game. I found it a little annoying that you need to individually add your additional team members every time you start a new day, I don’t know why they couldn’t just remain in the party until dismissed. Every Pokémon (prior to gen IV) is recruitable for your team. The plot is absurd yet cute as it sees you transform into a Pokémon based on a personality test and set on helping others in need. Sadly, what could've been an experiment in adopting JRPG storytelling of the mid-90s (a form that turns the idealism of their parents upside down) quickly reverts to its old optimistic mood, culminating in yet another worldly conflict.ĩh 42m PlayedRed Rescue Team is the GBA companion to the DS’s Blue Rescue Team, both released just before generation IV. Its greatest asset is wedged between the episodes of quest-redeeming & dungeon-crawling: A multi-part story that begins with the straighforward verve and subtlety of kids cartoons, but then reveals a tragic past followed by a sudden, dire turn of events. Pokemon's customization and Mystery Dungeon's randomized design is a combo that - in theory, should leave room for lots of variety, but without the danger (relegated to the occasional crit) or tension (food items spawn rather frequently), the game becomes a passive monodimensional exercise. The result - however, is a long series of massive floors where not much happens. Their blend of Pokemon conventions with the usual elements (hub world + job quests, randomly generated dungeons, quasi-tactical battling, hunger meter, etc.) is perhaps MD's least punishing incarnation to date, with plenty of help menus and small tweaks to past systems. 15h 1m PlayedPokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team is another branded edition of Chunsoft's prolific, Rogue-inspired 'Mystery Dungeon' series, that did more than just import Pokemon's aesthetics to their format.
