This game looks like it plays itself.
I played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, and that version was enjoyable, but grindy. It took a while to get good enough stats to tackle some dungeons. Sometimes, enemies would pretty much one-shot me, dealing massive amounts of damage and ruin a good run. The most fun things about the game were moving to avoid dangerous encounters and conserving moves. Both of those things are pretty much obsolete now that there is no default move that doesn't cost PP and because 'auto' and pushing Pokemon you move towards lessen your mobility in fights. What if you're weak and stuck in a corridor across from an enemy that counters your type after using auto? Your two options are to fight and risk dying or push your partner(s) all the way to the other end of the corridor. Let's not forget that the game picks your moves as well. From the perspective of someone who has played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon before, I don't recommend playing this game. You can get a DS and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games on Ebay for cheaper and have more fun with them.
