The worst of the Mystery Dungeons titles. Dumbing down on the efficiency the player can implement into questing, having far less companion options and a much shorter story really brings this one down. The emotional beats also just don't hit as hard, and sometimes are a little jarring in the larger scale of the game. It's playable, but as a person who put multiple playthroughs into it, it doesn't hold up like Mystery Dungeon games do.
