I have never played any of the Mystery Dungeon games in the past. No reason why, just never got around to them. There's a ton of content in this game. Well worth the price if you're into dungeon crawlers. Not my favorite genre but it certainly scratched the dungeon itch.

The story was bit generic. (Reminded me that the legendary Pokemon are assholes.) I did some early grinding but the story doesn't take too long. The game opens up after the main story. I think more than eight dungeons open. Plus other mechanics. Some of the dungeons were challenging; I was destroyed a few times going into a situation I was not prepared for.

It was incredibly fun meeting Pokemon on your journey and you can convince them to join your squad. You have the freedom to try difference moves, types, and even gear. I did get a bit bored running through the dungeons on repeat but I'm not blaming the game for that. Again, my personal experiences for this genre. There were dungeons I didn't explore so I did skip hours of content.

I might be hanging onto my game for future dungeon itches. It does a great job for a casual dungeon crawler like myself.
