Pokemon Mystery Dungeon For Switch Gets Rare Discount

Plenty of Nintendo games have been discounted ahead of Black Friday 2023, but one game that is rarely on sale, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX, just got $20 slashed off of its price at Walmart. This is an exceptionally rare discount for a great Pokemon spin-off. It sold out once already at this price, but it's back in stock now--you'll want to hurry.

It's a remake of the original Red and Blue Rescue Team games that kicked off the series back in 2005 on Game Boy Advance and DS.

In case you never played it, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX asks you what you'd do if you suddenly woke up as a Pokemon one day.

This is a dungeon-crawling adventure within the world of Pokemon as you assemble a rescue team to take on mysterious and ever-changing dungeons. You'll need to plot your moves strategically as you venture forth to make the world a safer place, and you'll be able to recruit from more than 400 Pokemon in this game.

"Whether or not you're an old-school Mystery Dungeon aficionado or a total newcomer to the long-derelict spin-off series doesn't necessarily matter: Mystery Dungeon on Switch improves upon the originals with some valuable quality-of-life tweaks, making it a worthwhile play regardless of your familiarity with the series," Cian Maher wrote in GameSpot's Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX review. "It features a distinct combat system that provides an intriguing alternative to the mainline Pokemon formula with tile-based strategizing, humanizes the Pokemon you've fallen in love with over the years, tells a riveting and emotional story that will make you view the franchise in a totally different light, and does so with a stylish suite of visuals and music."
