I've actually been playing through the first two Torneko games recently.

like yeah the first game is kind of bare bones, but most of the core mechanics of the mystery dungeon series are there. the biggest, most glaring issue is that money is basically just used for scoring (and story progression) since there's no shops in town or in dungeons.

that means that at the start it's a bit easy to get rng screwed by not getting a good weapon/shield, and it's kind of hard to build up enough steam/momentum to clear the game by building up good items (or get enough money to expand the vault so you can take in more items early in the game) since you're only guaranteed an escape scroll if you reach floor 20.

(also I find it kind of hilarious in a mean spirited the game hates you way that it forces you to manually walk back out after you reach your goal, with no more items spawning so it's easy to starve to death if you aren't prepared enough or wasted too many turns or didn't get enough food)

Torneko 2's main story is probably the shortest/easiest in the entire mystery dungeon series. but still pretty solid. haven't tried to do any of the postgame dungeons or tried the class changes to see how they play.

Too bad Torneko 3 or the Yangus mystery dungeon games aren't translated, I'd like to play them sometime.
