Another Felix

from sheer experience of past games (red and blue, and time darkness and sky) i would say absolutely yes. The story absolutely melts your heart and the gameplay is entertaining and a nice change of pace to say the least. I cannot wholeheartedly speak for super mystery dungeon, but from what research i have done so far, it appears to be really good

It's really hard to judge. Is it a fun game? Yes. I'm having a hard time enjoying the post game due to how they handled the whole thing making a mess. It's better than Rescue and Gates, but still nowhere near close to Explorers in terms of overall. You can actually read some of my review of it near the end of the SMD page in the Fan Club section.

As someone who beat the main story and the first few epilouge missions in the first weekend, I'd say it's worth it. It's a high quality game with decent difficulty (if one of your party memebers goes down in a dungeon, then the mons that dealt the blow gets to evolve, making a bad situation turn into a nightmare). The story is nice, the mechanics aren't bad, and the game is quite pretty to look at.
