I’m captivated by games which features roguelike elements and dynamically generated content. Pokemon? Admittedly, I’m ambivalent. But when I heard that Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon was out on the 3DS, I had to give it a shot. I was hoping for a decent roguelike title in convenient portable form. What I ended up getting was a pretty fun and light-hearted dungeon crawler with a fun, cutesy Pokemon story – a game I think any young kid with a budding love for tactical gameplay would enjoy. Armed with a slew of features, including a whopping 720 pokemon to ally or interact with, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon (hereafter PSMD) is a great game for introducing a child/pokemon fanatic into the shallow end of the shark-laden pool that is the roguelike genre.
