Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

This game is a 10/10, such a fun experience for a beginner

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.

This game is great like no kidding, I had looked on reddit and the reviews were right it's the best choice I made so far

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 game is really interesting because you actually ARE a Pokémon. Instead of completing a journey to different cities -like in the other Pokémon games- you do daily resucites/tasks and return to you team base at the end of each day. This game was also released on the Nintendo DS several years ago if you have played that.

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.

If you enjoy the Mystery Dungeon games on the DS, then you'll love this one. A remaster of the Rescue Team game, everything and more is included and this time you have the benefit of playing on the big screen and on the go. Highly recommend it!

I was so excited when this was announced during the Pokemon Direct! Easily one of my favorite remakes for the Switch! Gameplay: Plays almost similarly to the original, though recruitment has been made easier through certain rare qualities. Controls are straightforward. Difficulty increases drastically in the post game. Story: It's short but sweet, it took me less than a week to make it to the post game. No changes from the original other than some camera angles being played with during certain events Art Style: Adorable! Matches well to the illustrations made for the original Difficulty: Story dungeons feel easy but post game is much harder. You will need to grind later in the game. Overall this is a great game! Definitely pick it up if you played Red/Blue Rescue Team, you'll enjoy it!

Love playing the game after work. I find it more challenging than the mainstream gym challenge games.

Great game. Really love the art style of the game it adds a new spin on the Pokemon franchise

If you were a fan of the original Pokémon Dungeon series then this game is a must for you. The refreshed visuals are amazing. The game is just as great as the originals!

Nostalgia trip, i loved this series glad they brought it back to the switch

This was based off an older Nintendo DS game. It wasn’t too long to beat, and there is plenty of content to keep you going once you finish the main quest line.

I love this remake of this classic gem. Definetly a must play

Fun Dungeon crawler with familiar pokemon characters and an impressive roster

Timeless classic and great redux. I do miss the IQ system but the Rare Qualities mechanics is definitely preferable. The music and artwork, along with great gameplay make this a must buy. It does feel a lot easier then the originals, due to the Dojo changes and rescue rewards at low levels often having big buffs. As a casual game, it's perfect for the Switch and now even better for traveling due to the new auto-save.

Fun game will play for lots of time its like the original.

It is pretty good. A faithful remake with a lot of added features that got rid of a lot of the problems with the original.

My kids have been on a Pokemon kick for a while. They have also loved being able to play older games on the Nintendo Switch (ala the NES and SNES games in Nintendo Online), ones which have some nice improvements over the way they used to be. So this game hits a nice sweet spot - refreshed game in franchise that they love. They've been playing it a lot these last few months. It has definitely helped the time go by smoother during the COVID situation. Thank goodness for fun games.
