"If you can’t handle Pokémon, stay away from this one. Same goes for those who have Explorers of Time and / or Explorers of Darkness, because there’s not much added value in this Explorers of Sky. Diehard fans will enjoy themselves and if you have missed the previous titles, then Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky will offer you a tasteful dungeon crawler in a Pokémon jacket." ...

"Explorers of Sky is a bizarre mix of child-like presentation with hardcore gameplay mechanics which have long since been abandoned by most other hardcore games. It's simultaneously simple and obtuse, easy and challenging." ... Read full review

"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." ... Read full review

"The game isn't perfect by any means, it can get a little repetitive at times and the story takes a little while to get interesting. However,"The game isn't perfect by any means, it can get a little repetitive at times and the story takes a little while to get interesting. However, it's perfect in my eyes and this game had a massive impact on my life. The story is amazing and the gameplay gives a fresh twist on Pokemon. In my opinion, this is the best game ever made, second only to the sequel, Explorers of Time/ Darkness/ Sky." - A review I wrote for Blue Rescue Team.
Everything positive I said in that review holds true for this game, everything negative does not. This game is perfect in every way and I heartily recommend it to everyone. The game has the most amazing and compelling story to ever exist and has many aspects from the previous game improved and redesigned (for the better). Many people in this world, alongside myself, may not have become the people we are today without this game. It's that amazing...… Expand

This game is a real masterpiece for me, with a great gameplay, music andReally underrated game and one of the best game I played for now. This game is a real masterpiece for me, with a great gameplay, music and story especially. Dungeons games like this game can be boring to some people, but for me, it was enjoyable and fun to play without being too repetitive. There was also lot of strategies, lot of content compared to Darkness and Time, plus the story was probably the best story from a Pokemon game. The end was really overwhelming and surprising to me. Post game was really interesting too!… Expand

The Mystery Dungeon series has never done well in America, but this Pokemon title is truly fun to play.

I usually enjoy RPGs, but this is RNG bs. There, I summarized the main gimmick of Mystery Dungeon games in two words. I was hoping that I'dI usually enjoy RPGs, but this is RNG bs. There, I summarized the main gimmick of Mystery Dungeon games in two words. I was hoping that I'd find a fun time waster with this game but nope.

Cons:
- Gameplay: While I don't mind RNG, as it can be great when done correctly, I just don't want an entire game depending on it.
- Soundtrack: Horrible, not memorable.
- Characters: I don't like a single character from this game.

Overall, Explorers of Sky is a horrible game that not even Pokemon deserved and warrants a 2/10 from me.… Expand
