Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX launched March 6th, but if you're looking to get a feel for how this game will play you can download the demo first!
The demo allows you to play a limited amount of the new Pokemon game before you think of buying the game.
This is a great idea as the price can be seen as quite steep when you consider that it is a remake of an old game.
Here's everything you need to know about the demo.
Be sure to watch our wide variety of Pokemon content here!

Review
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX follows very similar mechanics and rules that the regular Pokemon series follows, but this is a spin-off and there are plenty of differences.
The game has made many improvements from the 2006 game that many know and love. Features like being able to have 8 Pokemon in your party allows you to have a much more diverse pool of companions in your rescue team.
Other changes include quality of life improvements like being able to arrange your team, items and money at the Dungeon prep screen and purchase camps while in dungeons.
This 2006 remaster also introduces a selection of Generation 4 Pokemon AND Mega Evolution.
There's still a lot to explore within the game, but it made a solid impression on us based on the demo.
If you're unfamiliar with the series you may be out of your comfort zone and lack interest in the mechanics, but if you're a big fan of this Pokemon spin-off, you should enjoy it all over again on Nintendo Switch.
Score: 7.5/10
