Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon

Roguelike dungeon crawler where you're a human turned into a Pokémon. Pick your species, then tackle procedurally generated floors with turn-based combat—every step you take lets enemies move, so positioning matters. Recruit other Pokémon you meet to join your rescue team, building a roster you can swap between for different missions. The story unfolds as you investigate why Pokémon are turning to stone, with dialogue-heavy cutscenes between dungeon runs. Floors shuffle layouts and item placement each time you enter, so you can't memorize routes. Combat uses type matchups and four move slots per character. You'll manage hunger meters, thrown items, and permadeath risk if you faint without escape orbs. Hundreds of Pokémon appear as potential allies or enemies. Best for players who like tactical positioning puzzles and don't mind reading lots of text between missions.
