Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is the latest entry in Pokemon's Mystery Dungeon spin-off series (which is underappreciated but very good). A remake of 2006's Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Rescue Team DX is developed by Spike Chunsoft (the team behind Danganronpa and Zero Escape) and features a charming art style akin to a watercolor painting.

In Rescue Team DX, you play as a human who finds themself mysteriously transformed into a Pokemon, and at the beginning of the game, you'll choose one of 16 Pokemon as your form, with options from the first three generations. Your character, along with a partner Pokemon of your choosing, decides to form a rescue team, taking various jobs from clients that require you to enter dungeons and have battles within. The dungeon battles are turn-based--each time you move, all enemies on the map will move one space as well. You'll gather items that can help you along the way, and you'll have to keep an eye on your team's hunger levels as well, eating food when necessary. Aside from these dungeon-crawling missions (which can be quite challenging), you'll slowly unravel the mystery of who your character is and why they've found themselves in the world of Pokemon.

The Nintendo Eshop currently has a free demo available to download if you'd like to try out Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX before buying. Your progress in the demo will transfer to the main game. Plus, check out our Rescue Team DX pre-order guide for more options on where to buy the game.
