    Pokémon Rumble World takes the basic beatdown gameplay the spin-off series is known for and combines it with fun connectivity features that give it a uniquely social feel. It's not a particularly deep experience, but the blend of button mashing and creature collecting makes for satisfyingly straightforward fun.

    It’s unlikely that Pokémon newcomers will stick it out to catch them all, thanks in part to the balloon mechanics and eventual grind, which without such complication would have inevitably achieved the opposite. It does feel like the free-to-start model holds Pokémon Rumble World back, and while 100 percent completion is perfectly doable without paying a penny it certainly feels like an expectation when you reach the higher ranks and levels.

    Pokemon Rumble World is not as exploitative as it could have been, but the fact remains it’s just not a very good game. Its “combat” is vacuous, and the entire goal is little more than collecting junk to keep collecting junk – an ecosystem with no other purpose than to exist for its own sake.

    Pokémon Rumble World is an excellent, extremely fun entry in the Nintendo free-to-play stable, and unlike Pokémon Shuffle, its microtransactions are unobtrusive and you can absolutely work with them if you want to play the game in short bursts over and over. What's more, if you want to spend some money on the game you get a fairly decent bang for your buck. If you're looking for a cheap and easy way to add to your 3DS library, this is a great choice.

    It's fairly shallow but very fun in spurts, and the best part is that players can truly enjoy the game for more than a few minutes at a time without feeling like they aren't getting anywhere. I may have burnt out on the simplistic formula after roughly a week of play, but I still have a desire to return to the game on a casual basis.

    While Pokémon Rumble World is great in short bursts, the game quickly becomes repetitive due to a lack of variety. Overall, it is an impressive free-to-play title with fair micro-transactions that speed up the experience yet are in no way necessary to enjoy the game. The perfect on-the-go experience.
