Game Overview

What if you woke up one day, and you were a Pokémon? What if all of the sudden you find yourself in a NEW world, where you can speak and interact with other Pokémon? The adventure begins when you and your partner Pokémon set out on rescue missions in a world ravaged by natural disasters. But what is your true purpose and destiny in this Pokémon world? That's the REAL mystery …

The Good

Story is well written and can easily consume 20 hours, No shortage of rescue missions to attempt, Interesting connectivity options between the two versions.

The Bad

Simplistic dungeon hack with Pokémon characters slapped on, Dungeons recycle the same background tiles and enemies, Random dungeon layouts don't always turn out sensibly, Nothing to do in the overworld except shop and save.

The Bottom Line

Based off he long-running series of Mysterious Dungeon games by Chunsoft, this multi-title release (Red Rescue Force for the GBA, Blue Rescue Force for the DS) is an adventure game with semi-turnbased exploration of dungeons featuring characters from the Pokemon universe. It's up to the Rescue Force (Red in the GBA version, Blue in the DS version) to save Pokemon who've found themselves in trouble. While one of your goals is to figure out what exactly turned you into a Pokemon, you've also got to help Pokemon as part of the Rescue Force. You start off serving your duties with your original partner Pokemon at your side, but as you progress, more Pokemon join the Rescue Force and become selectable.

Expert Reviews

52/100

score

The injection of Pok+¬mon characters and aspects hasn't done anything to improve ChunSoft's oft-copied dungeon hack.

65/100

score

It drags on and on without much change, which is why it's a good thing it's been structured in segments for quick-shot, handheld-friendly dungeon exploration.
