    The delivery came exactly on the day that was predicted. I haven’t played the game yet, but I enjoyed the older game on the DS, so I have high hopes that this will be a great game as well!

    i’m not going to bullshxt you here. this game is gorgeous. and i’m not just saying that because i played it in the seventh grade with my friend sara. i’m saying this because it is the truth. the art style has been updated and the classic dungeon crawler with a pokémon tint is HERE and it is here to stay. well, at least until animal crossing comes out. i mean, come on, so they not have a release schedule buffer? animal crossing is right around the corner guys, i can’t finish this before it comes out. and you already know: when animal crossing comes out, everything else goes to the cosmos. i’m talking divine separation from my ability to concentrate on anything else that isn’t animal crossing. alright bottom line this game is good. it’s pretty. old school dungeon crawling rpg game for the switch. it works for kids. it works for me. my dog i’ll eventually grow up and play this game too. if the regular pokémon games were too hard for you then this will bemuse you as well, just in a different way. 5/5 stars. would take a test to become a mudkip only to get totodile like an idiot and then retake the test to get my desired outcome again.

    This is a fun game for both new and old fans of the pokemon world. Get to choose either based on your personality or manually your starting pokemon and 2nd companion. Venture off in a maze like adventure completing quest. Many different generations of pokemon present and graphics on game were completed very well.

    I’ve enjoyed the MD series since the start. The graphics look good, but very few things I’ve changed with this “remake” and imo, that’s both a good and bad thing. It’s good because it feeds the nostalgia. It’s bad because, well, after 15 years nothing was done to freshen it up. While there are minor changes throughout with other things, it’s the same core game as it was 15 years ago. I’ve been enjoying it since I’ve purchased it but I do wish they could’ve added a couple things to refresh the game.

    Played the original as a kid. I am overjoyed that Nintendo made a switch version. Always enjoy taking the quiz in the beginning to determine which Pokemon you're more like. The story hit my feels back then. Can't wait to see it do the same at the end. Woohooo I love this game.

    It's just like the red and blue team games from back in the days just with some fine tuning and the art is awesome. The story is rich and emotional. I recommend this game for those who want to introduce a kid friendly Diablo lol

    DX is a well made remake of the original Rescue Team games. Very nostalgic and charming! Though a bit too easy, from what I've seen (I've only played a few hours)

    Following the Mystery Dungeon series, it brings you back to when you first played on your DS! Same principles but i guess sort of a remake!

    Families Beware: Only One Save File Per Switch!

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.

    This game has caused nothing but anger and frustration in my house. My kids pooled their money to buy it, and now they both wish they could return it. The game is engineered to force each person to have their own Switch hardware, much like a DS. The problem is that multiple Switch users are forced to share an island and compete for resources. Everything one user does affects all other users on the system, so essentially there is only one save file common to all users. My daughter started the island and started building a village. She laid out a plan for what resources she needed and how to spend her in-game currency. My son waited patiently for his turn and started a "new" game under his profile and began harvesting/collecting resources, but soon discovered that he cannot build any houses or add to the village since it's my daughter's island. Now that he has cut down trees and smashed up the big rocks on the island, she has to wait several days in real-time for them to respawn. Neither of them can progress right now. My daughter rarely plays the Switch, but she was so much looking forward to this game that she decided that the easiest way around the sharing issues was to use all of her savings to buy a Switch Lite. We soon discovered that, unlike with other Switch games, Animal Crossing data cannot be moved to a new Switch! And we cannot make my son the owner of their island, so his progress will always be limited by a user profile that won't get played anymore. Both of my kids are proud of the progress they managed to make during the past week, and neither wants to start over, but it's a lose-lose situation for everyone.

    Charming in every way: the art style, the animations, the characters, the writing. The turn based dungeon game play itself might not be for everyone, but I found it refreshing and endearing enough to enjoy. There is a pretty lengthy demo of the game on the eShop, so if you're unsure about it I would recommend trying that out. Plenty of post-game content as well which is always nice.
