How does dungeon buddy work

The extra help can really make or break your exploration since an extra pair of hands could save you from death. The same goes for jobs, which usually lets you only swap before a dungeon or a major boss. The game does make it a point to ease you in your adventure through a variety of different tutorial missions.

Apart from the main missions, you can also take on a host of different side quests which come with their own challenges, such as a level cap or going through the entire level with a status effect. These rules add another layer of depth and strategy you need to work around, putting your skills to the test.

You can even tend to a garden and yield some flowers with some useful effects, or even go fishing and snag some food to sell or trade to enhance your storage limit in town. Sort of. It gets a little bit more confusing when a baby hatches from an egg, but honestly, don't worry about it. It works in classic Mystery Dungeon style. Dungeons are grid-based, and each move you make allows monsters to move. You slowly make your way through the dungeon, one square at a time, looking for the way down to the next floor.

On the way you'll beat enemies, level up, gain new gear and equipment, and eventually become a powerful Chocobo that no one can stand against, naturally.

Monsters With Attitude review - "A richer. The big change in this game is that you're allowed to take buddies into the stages. Cid and other characters you meet in the town can become buddies to battle alongside you, or you can even recruit the monsters you find in the dungeons after defeating them. You can even give a second JoyCon to a friend, and team up when tackling dungeons together, instead of leaving the second character to the CPU, making some tougher fights much easier to organise.

Alongside a flashy new title, the game comes with a few additional features, including a buddy system that allows you to befriend enemies and have them assist you in your dungeon crawling journeys.

Our story begins with the adorable protagonist Chocobo and his treasure hunter owner Cid making their way to the Tower in the Sands, a monolithic building believed to house an item known as Timeless Power, which Cid wants to use to power his airship.

Before any confrontation can ensue, a giant portal quickly whisks everyone away. Chocobo and Cid wake up in Lostime, an odd dreamlike town in which the inhabitants have their memories erased every time the town bell rings. As Chocobo, you are tasked with trying to bring back the memories of the townsfolk, all while trying to find out how to stop the Bell of Oblivion and locating Irma and Volg.

Although my Final Fantasy experience is lacking, I found myself feeling a sense of familiarity and nostalgia with these tracks, having come across them before while listening to Final Fantasy soundtracks.

Having the soundtrack consist almost entirely of previous Final Fantasy tracks was an excellent little bit of fan service on behalf of Square Enix, leading to a soundtrack that is stacked with brilliant songs that will engage both new players and Final Fantasy diehards alike. The brilliant soundtrack makes the overworld even more of a joy to explore. Mystery Dungeons are essentially roguelike games in which players must make their way through randomly generated dungeons, killing enemies along the way while trying to successfully complete every floor.

Dungeons can be tackled alone, or with buddy characters, which can be unlocked by collecting enough buddy points from fallen enemies of that type of enemy. For example, gather enough buddy points from Goblins, and you will unlock the ability to bring one into a dungeon as your buddy. The Extra buddies pull in characters that were summons in other games and can mean doing something like beating Phoenix in the Guardian of Flame dungeon to add that friend.

The collection element can be a huge help, since it can let you experiment with jobs for Chocobo you might not otherwise use, since you could have Shirma come along to handle healing. It also could mean extra help when you do get to some later dungeons.

Pulling someone in as a friend to help play is just as easy as it is to collect enemies. It is as simple as setting a buddy before you go into a dungeon, heading in there, passing another person who is in the same room as you a controller, and having fun.

As long as Chocobo is still going, they will revive on the next floor. Having them around is a good failsafe.
