A gift for my partner for Christmas as he played this game years ago and wanted the switch version. Quick delivery and excellent new condition. Super recommend.
This game is really unique and awesome. Better than what I expected. Definitely a good service from Amazon for delivering it so fast and product was very well packaged
Game has a pleasant design. It was nice to revisit the original pokemon mystery dungeon with a few interesting changes. Only problem is I didn’t realize it autosaves instead of the hard save used in the original, so I thought it was just taking me really long to get to a save point. In general, I would highly recommend giving it a try if you enjoyed the original game.
Loved this game as a kid, and the remake really brings it up to a better standard. Good for you kid this Christmas, might be boring for an adult. Get it on sale if you can, it’s not with the full $60, in my opinion.
It’s a remake of pokemon mystery dungeon; blue and red team.
If like me you played the originals. It’s an absolute nostalgia trip.
If not.
Then the game is a top down turn-based dungeon crawler, themed around pokemon. If that sounds interesting I suggest you get it.
If your not sure. There is a demo on the Nintendo online store. I’d suggest you try that to have a small taste of the gameplay.
Very nostalgic! I love it though the storyline is a bit disappointing to me, the way it ended was just very abrupt and saddening. I was shocked to find tiny tear duct ninjas chopping onions into my eyes. But other than the disappointing storyline, it is really good, was playing last night…..all of my main pokemon are currently trapped on the 39th floor of a sea dungeon in need of rescue including my 2 main characters. I have no idea how i’m going to get them back atm.
You can see a lot of art changes but a lot of the game has remained the same from the original, apart from recruitment and teams! I would definitely recommend getting this game though especially if you are a fan of the original like I am!
Such a faithful recreation of a childhood classic. When I play, even weeks after release, I’m almost at tears with nostalgia. Some things have been fixed from the first game but correct me if I’m wrong, you could visit each individual camp and speak to your team mates. In this you can’t. Not a big deal but it would have been nice. The overwhelmingly good thoughts on this game overwhelms any qualms. Congrats Nintendo, and here’s hoping you do a Time/Darkness remake next!
Pokmon Mystery Dungeon was my very first Pokmon game when I was 8 years old, so I was very excited a remake of the game came out on the Switch. It was my absolute favourite game.
I think the game is excellent still, but there are some things that have been changed. Whether you prefer the original or the remake is up to personal taste, but here are some changes I’ve noticed. You can decide for yourself whether you consider them positive or negative changes:
– When you do the personality quiz at the start of the game, it suggests the Pokmon that matches your personality, but you are free to choose which Pokmon you would like to be. This could be good for people who want a specific Pokmon and don’t want to reset until they get the quiz right.
– When you select your team partner, it asks you whether your partner is male or female. This wasn’t part of the original game, and I thought it to be quite a pointless addition. I spent a lot of time thinking about this because when I played the original as a kid, I imagined my partner Charmander to be genderless. I suppose there’s no harm in adding it, but I also thought it was pointless to add it.
– The game autosaves now. In the original, you had to go home/go to bed to save the game. Now the game saves after every turn. This makes the game both easier and more difficult; you can quit the game whenever you like, but it also means you can’t reset to a save spot if you die. Depending on what your team looks like, the game could be very difficult now.
– There is no random A attack anymore. In the original, you could press the A button to ram into the opposing Pokmon. It was a weak attack, but it didn’t require any AP. Now if you press A, your Pokmon will execute a random attack from your move pool. Usually, the game’s AI will choose an attack that works best against your opposer, but it makes it hard to keep track of your AP without checking every few minutes.
– When you attack, it can often happen that you attack twice. This didn’t really happen in the original. It can be great when you’re low on HP and want to get a fight over with quickly, but again, it drains your AP really, really quickly.
I haven’t finished playing the game yet and I find it to be a lot more difficult than the original for the Nintendo DS, but I think that’s a good thing. I made the game hard for myself because I chose a Normal type Pokmon for myself and a Fire type as my partner, which makes the fire dungeons really difficult. If you pick a balanced team (i.e. Water and Fire or Electric and Grass, or anything opposing), it should be a lot easier. The art style of the game is super cute and the storyline has barely changed — which I absolutely love. It’s an incredibly cute story. I can really recommend this game to old and new Pokmon fans.
Turned up on time really good game. Bit testing if you don’t have patience as some dungeons are 30 floors or more long so if you don’t know what your doing maybe a bit more complicated than it needs to be but always been a Pokemon fan of every Pokemon game hence 5
This is a game that lives up to its memories and has hours of play time. It’s simplistic play style also makes it a fantastic base game for new gamers.
I never got to play the original and I’m only a few hours in (I got Animal Crossing on the same day) but this game is first-timer friendly and, like seemingly everything Pokemon, incredibly addictive. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous and for just shy of 38 for a Switch game you can’t go wrong!
Brilliant game. Has kept my eldest child quiet for hours, and is also fun for Dad (me) to play. Graphics are awesome. Price of it brand new was actually 2 cheaper than buying 2nd hand (at time of purchase). Plenty to do after completing main story, but don’t confuse it with Pokemon Games like “Sword & Shield” as this game is very different in retrospect to them.
Not much more to say really. Just a great game for a Pokmon fan. I haven’t played the original but can see where it’s been updated with inclusion of later gens. Gameplay is amazing and then it has a great story too.

I’ve been playing the main Pokemon games since I was a kid, all the way back from the original Red and Blue. I’ve played a lot of the games since, even the most recent Pokemon Shield, but never actually played any of the Mystery Dungeon series as have mainly kept to the main titles. Although a long term fan, I am practically new to this specific series and can honestly say I am loving it so far. Great soundtrack and visuals, gameplay and story are also fabulous. From what I can tell so far as well, it has a lot of replay value, especialy after you finish the main story quest, you would say the game is just beginning!!!
Long term pokemon fan from the original games but new to this series… 5/5 from me!
I want to start by adding I’ve played all the PMD games prior and I probably am very biased at this point.
If you liked the originals or any other PMD game then this is a must-buy for the nostalgia alone. However, if this is your first entry into the series or you didn’t much like the original games I would be cautious. 50 price tag is fairly high even for a die-hard fan such as me so if you don’t like it then it could be a lot of money to waste.
This is a very story-driven game which does suffer from lacklustre gameplay. I don’t mind its repetitive grind style because the characters and plot are both engaging and well written but if you really do value the interesting gameplay that entertains you for hours then this isn’t it.
I am not embarrassed to say that I am in my 30s who enjoys pokemon ever since I was a child and I never got the.chance to play this game and now it released on the switch I finally got my hands on it and I have to say the graphics are absolutely beautiful and the gameplay is fine.
I was a big fan of the first two mystery dungeon games and let down by the 3ds entries. This is a great return to form, the new art style work so well and the new improvements they made to game play take a lot of the old hassle out. If you were a fan of the originals or even just a fan of dungeon games def try.
Having played the original version of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon when it was first released back in 2005 and loved it, I was excited to see it was being remade for Nintendo Switch.
The art is amazing and the game feels like it’s a whole new experience for fans of the previous games. It’s a charming little remake of the original installments. I highly recommend it!
This games gotten a lot of bad critic reviews, and there are some legitimate gripes. The game play is inherently repetitive, and the price tag is far too high for what is essentially a game boy game with wii graphics
However there’s so much this game does fundamentally better than actual Pokemon mainline titles. The joy of collecting Pokemon, winning turn based battles and levelling up is all here, unlike in a lot of other spin offs.
But what sets this apart is the gameplay is actually difficult and intense at times while the story is engaging heartfelt and thoughtful. The characters have real personalities, charming expressions and interesting dialogue, new plot points being introduced after every mission or so to give an authentic day to day feel. The plot isn’t afraid to go into dark places leading to satisfying twists and an emotional ending.
Gameplay wise, being a pokemon is down right cool, and being able to constantly change which Pokemon you control unlike the originals makes it more dynamic. While many dungeons are underwhelming, there are many which require real skill, as hunger, lack of rescourses and battle strategy can be your end. In long dungeons being high up is intense as you cannot save, leading to dramatic moments where you have to make smart and fast decisions to keep the game going. Thankfully the game rewards you with legendary Pokemon and rare items to make these experiences worthwhile.
The games rounded off with nice art and catchy music.
Overall; this isn’t triple A gameplay, it’s a shamelessly retro design and it won’t be fun for everyone. However, even though sword and shield have far more replaybility due to online battles, purely on story and solo game play these are honestly better games.
It’s just like the GBA/NDS version but prettier. Some quality of life improvements have been added. Also, some ways to make the game easier have been added (e.g. OP makuhita dojo), but you can just not use them to have a more challenging experience. If you have enjoyed other MD games, you’ll enjoy it a lot and if not, you won’t. If you have never played them, note that people who like them usually like them more than the main Pokmon series!
I knew this was a pre-order item due for release on 6th March, my son desperately wanted me to buy it for him as one of his birthday presents. I’d already checked it out on various other sites as well as the Nintendo online store and everywhere I searched said the game was due to be released on 6th March. My son knew that although his birthday was on the exact same day as the release date that he might have to wait a bit longer for the game to arrive. Imagine how excited both myself and son were when the game actually turned up on…….6th March, his birthday !! To see such happiness and excitement on my sons face is something I’ll never ever forget !! Thank you, you’ve made his birthday even more special !!
My little boy of 8 loves it. And so do we never known him so peaceful.
A great game, arrived on time and in good condition.
A gift for my partner for Christmas as he played this game years ago and wanted the switch version. Quick delivery and excellent new condition. Super recommend.
almost like a stratagy game, still fun but quite differe
This game is really unique and awesome. Better than what I expected. Definitely a good service from Amazon for delivering it so fast and product was very well packaged
I love this game, it was a nostalgia trip to my childhood and had a great time 🙂
It is a gift for a birthday next week and so I do not know how it is.
Grandson was very happy with the game
Showed me how to play a game

Everything i was expecting :3 plus mega evolutions made the game extra spicy

Es lo que mi sobrino quera para navidad y lleg a tiempo.
Expensive but my son loves it and has probably spent 100s of hours playing it.
Loved this game as a kid, and the remake really brings it up to a better standard. Good for you kid this Christmas, might be boring for an adult. Get it on sale if you can, it’s not with the full $60, in my opinion.
Everything came well and quick, but a boring game. Played about an hours worth and didn’t touch it again.
One of my favourite games and can be played on the big TV now.

Bought this for my husband and it arrived really quickly. Game works perfectly and we’ve had no issues. Highly recommend!
When my product didn’t show up, customer service was great! I love the game and everything ended up being great! Highly recommend!
As far as game play son really was not to fond of it and he owns all the Pokmon games.

This game surprised me with how good it is to play , looks stunning and has a great soundtrack
Easy to pick up but offers a challenge to those who seek it
The post game after the main story is huge with plenty to do
Honestly best pokemon game for a while and a must have switch games for pokemon fans in particula
Turned up on time really good game. Bit testing if you don’t have patience as some dungeons are 30 floors or more long so if you don’t know what your doing maybe a bit more complicated than it needs to be but always been a Pokemon fan of every Pokemon game hence 5
