>>33555778>this game IS pretty shallow and certainly not innovative.Ehh?
It's more in-depth than Rogue for sure.
While it may not be as complex as Nethack, PMD games give you a character with multiple active abilities and stat curves, passive abilities, and outside of Destiny Tower and Zero Isle South, even team-building with mostly functional teammate AI.
On top of that, it gives you hundreds of possible playable characters, each with their own stats and abilities, sometimes completely changing how you approach a dungeon.
