Monster Girls and the Mysterious Adventure 2

> cannot bring items/money in dungeon > items are not identified so you have to waste a ton of stuff just to identify it > no equipment to be found in said dungeon making the MC a complete dead weight > the dungeon still has monster houses and enemies that can charm your teamates (they will obliterate you) > get far into dungeon anyways > ogres toss your teamates one by one THROUGH WALLS and INTO A MONSTER HOUSE because they always aim for traps, can't stop it because of bad initial positioning when you spawned on the floor > you are now alone with no equipment and several ogres eager to toss you in the monster house > the stairs are in the monster house too, lmao > can't leave alive because no return grimoire spawned in 20+ floors If you can put up with such insanely stupid series of events and don't mind the horrible translation the game does have charm, it's cute and has a lot of interesting systems. Unfortunately there aren't that many dungeons and many heavily restrict what you can bring. Not being able to use your gear or bring your friends kind of kills any feeling of progression and it happens a lot. The difficulty options are quite silly too, you can just skip dungeon…

It's the best Mystery Dungeon I've ever played. Pros: - Progression system that persists between dungeons, such as equipment and/or teams. - Ways to make the death punishment less annoying with buy back (at a high cost) or being able to insurance your gear. - Team system that is quite deep where you command your monster girls and their behavior. Later on, you can make each monster girl learn skills from others and have a list of the best skills that suit that monster girl. You can bring a total of 6 for a team, 3 active at a time where you can swap. - Light hearted and cute, everything is pleasant to look at including the zombies. Everything is colourful with an artstyle that reminds me of Disgaea. - A lot of things to do. Some people might think that grinding is bad but here it doesn't really feel like a grind at all and everything is enjoyable. Cons: - The translation is rather rough. You can understand everything but sometimes you'll wonder if an item truly means what it's written there. The story though? Most of it is so poorly translated that you might not understand perfectly even if you get the gist of it. - Recruiting monster girls are, at times, a massive pain…

This game is much better than it has any right to be on the surface, given the scantily-clad monster girls. The closest analogue to this game is the Mystery-Dungeon-adjacent game, Azure Dreams. It combines monster catching with Mystery-Dungeon style 2D grid-based combat. The depth is surprising with a fair number of monsters (despite many being obvious reskins), a large selection of monster abilities, and varying conditions to befriend them. There are multiple dungeons you unlock as you progress with increasing difficulty, some with requirements to enter. There is a monster "prestige" system that lets you improve monster stats by reverting them to level 1 which lets you keep your favorites with you even as dungeons get harder. I thought this game was a bit of a joke but the similarity to Azure Dreams made me give it a try anyways, and it turned out to be one of the better roguelike games I've played in awhile.

Best Mystery Dungeon game period, and that's before you add waifus. Enjoy!

I like monster girls because the monster is on the outside.
