Ultimately, most players are probably still better off sticking to 'purer' roguelikes such as Shiren the Wanderer or standard RPGs such the core Pokemon titles.
The critics had to have been trolling when they gave the reviews for this game, because this has got to be one of my favourite video games of all time. This game has is all, an unforgettable story, amazing dialogue, fun gameplay. It's a shame that this is one of the more obscure games in the Pokémon franchise.
The game doesn't improve neither enlarges the original game, falling in content repetitiveness quickly, without polishing anyone of the week aspects of the previous games.
It feels like the only reason this game has a third version (or a second version for that matter), is because Nintendo knows kids expect it, and will snatch it up. It's a rip off, plain and simple.
There's barely any new content to sift through in this third chapter, and most of it fails to impress. Nintendo needs to rejuvenate this brand or scuttle it entirely. We're sick of going through dungeons. Show us something new.
One of my favourite games and easily the best pokemon game ever made. The characters were memorable and funny. The story was creative and grand. The gameplay loop is fun and I could play it for hours. I recommend this game to everyone.
I've got to be honest, I love no, ADORE Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. The game is filled with interesting and compelling characters, with a surprisingly deep and open-ended story. While the story itself has a definitive ending, there are so many elements of the story that are still shrouded in mystery and hasn't been fully explored, this doesn't make the story bad but instead it leaves room for interpretations and theories to explain several plot holes or even explain parts of the story that were already explained thoroughly but can be connected with other parts of the story, making things so much more interesting. But the deep lore isn't the only reason the story is great, the story itself is just so well-written and so wonderful and really sad at certain points. However, this being a Pokemon game hurts more than it helps, as people are less likely to appreciate the story of a Pokemon game as unprofessional critics or people with a prejudice against Pokemon will simply dismiss the story as a basic story for kids. Of course, there are people who aren't so quick to judge, but they will most likely be turned off by the repetitive gameplay. Speaking of which, the gameplay can feel super repetitive and the dungeons being randomly generated can lead to ridiculous and irritating scenarios, dungeon floors can be insanely fast to go through or could take a millennia to traverse; not to mention, some enemies will randomly ambush you, while I'm fine with this, if one of your teammates get ambushed by an enemy, it's really annoying as every turn you move, the camera moves over to your teammate; but the game does require strategy and needs you to preserve max elixirs and restorative items and when to use items that can help you in boss battles, which is nice; oh, and one more thing, the A.I. of your teammates can be stupid at times which will could cost you a reviver seed and that's never fun. So, in conclusion, this game has a wonderful story with rich characters and deep lore, but is held back by it's repetitive gameplay and annoying quirks. If you are considering to play this game and you're a Pokemon fan, then you'll most likely like this game, it borrows a few features from the mainline series so it should feel a little familiar. If you're not a Pokemon fan, then this game might not be for you, however if you are interested then please don't dismiss this game right away, you might end up enjoying this game.
It barely attempts to improve the terribly repetitive exploration loop with only a few, meagre new features, once again leaving only the survival mechanics and rewarding strategy to engage the player, although the challenge is noticeably less thrilling than the previous game's. The story remains simplistic but improved drastically, as a cast of endearing characters unravels the mysteries behind an artistically vibrant, whimsical world balancing nicely humour, heartfelt emotion and dramatic pathos.
Pretty meh game. The dialog is repetitive and sounds as though a child wrote it. The gameplay is also very repetitive. I got bored really quickly and nothing about the game was even slightly exciting or gripping. I could see it appealing to Pokemon die-hards, especially younger kids, but it's really not worth playing otherwise. Stick to the mainline Pokemon games.
