Pokémon Picross succeeds flawlessly with its goal of making an easily accessible Picross title with additional appeal for people who are used to the puzzles.
As far as Picross goes, you can't go wrong with Pokemon Picross on the 3DS. Plenty of puzzles and gaming to be had. The micro-purchases end up giving you the full experience with over 700 Pokemon and plenty of room for expansion.
Si te vuelve loco Picross y Pokémon, como a mí en su día, lo completarás y después te pondrás a contar las horas que has dedicado a hacer todo el rato lo mismo. Lo mejor es que te la pelará completamente.
This isn’t the best Picross game. The original Picross for DS is still better. Picross 3D (also for the DS), which has you solving logic puzzles in three dimensions, is way better...But this is still a fine game. And, if you enjoy Picross but don’t put it on a pedestal like I do, you may find some more enjoyment from the Pokémon elements than I did.
A high quality Picross game that can shine brightly even without original ideas, due to more than enough “truly free” content to satisfy an eager player. Microtransactions are still quite significant though (even if limited), so take that into consideration when you get the game.
Pokemon Picross takes two familiar things and combines them into something new and fresh. The 3DS has no shortage of great puzzle games, yet Pokemon Picross can easily stand out among the crowd, especially if you're a fan of either of its two elements.
If you love Picross but don’t want to spend over $32 for the full experience, check the Picross e series which are from the same developer. Each of the six titles cost $5.99, and you will have a bigger and better experience for around the same price.
As someone who bought all the Picross games in existence so far, I had to give this one a go despite it's free-to-play model. About 3-4 days in I was frustrated with how the game had "gated" me so early into buying some of its in-game currency (picrites) but since the price for the one-time "starter" package was so low and the fact that they give you unlimited picrites if you spend ~30 dollars, I decided to cave in.
I've been so **** hooked since then, it's almost silly.
The Pokemon mechanic layer on top of Picross has managed to put a new twist in this ageing puzzle game and keep the whole thing fresh. Considering the amount of puzzles and the fact that you'll most likely replay a few of them to get 100% completion, it's not as pricey as it initially seems.
All in all, I don't feel cheated out of my money with this game, but there are some weird design decisions that made me regret doing some in-game purchases before others such as Alt-World puzzles not giving any picrites and the lack of use for the 4th-5th-6th pokemon slots. I could've probably completed the game without maxing out the in-game store limit if I had known that.
All in all, a much more solid Picross game that I initially thought. If you're not quite sure after you start running out of picrites, try putting 2 dollars in it! Enjoy!
Picross is one of those games that requires a bit of time to play but feels rewarding once a puzzle is done , then you'd naturally do another. this game requires a grind like no other for free players, you can play this for months and still get nowhere. for a casual player, it isn't too bad unless it gets boring, which it will once the game requires a high amount of in game currency to get to the next area (players don't earn much through gameplay). For a free to start game it isn't too bad, there is a price however.
This game randomly popped out of nowhere from my New Nintendo 3DS XL system (same for the YouTube app) and since I have nothing to do but just try for just a few minutes for a review, it's easy to say Pokémon Picross is boring and isn't as unique as I thought it would be.
It's hard to say who this is for. First, it starts you very slow and lays a heap of tutorial on you like you've never played Picross... then it shovels on additional Pokemon mechanics to make it more complicated. Once you've done a few puzzles to warm up, it suddenly has you doing 15 x 15 puzzles with zero hints or helpers.
They've Candy Crushed Picross. If you wish Picross had more in app purchases, this one's for you.
Another one of pokemons many failed non RPG games. all of the latest pokemon non rpg games require you to fork over more and more money just to play a couple of levels. I wouldn't recommend this game just because of the money issues apart from that, it's a bearable game. It's good but not great. If you want a good pokemon non rpg game' i would stick with pokemon conquest from 2012
