==Gameplay formula==
'''Chunsoft''' (Japanese: '''チュンソフト''' ''Chunsoft'') is a Japanese video game developer specializing in console RPGs. It was founded by {{wp|Koichi Nakamura}}, a video game designer from {{wp|Enix}}. They are known in the Pokémon community as the developers of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. They have also developed for other series such as {{wp|Dragon Quest}} and {{wp|Sound Novels}}. It also made the highly critically acclaimed [[Nintendo DS]] game {{wp|999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors}}. Its name is taken from Chun, a character that appeared in Enix's very first video game, Door Door.
The gameplay of most, if not all, of Chunsoft's games involve the following points:
 
*"Mystery Dungeons" with randomized floors each time one enters.
==Gameplay Formula of the Mystery Dungeon Series of Games==
*Standard attacks, which don't cost anything.
 
*Special attacks, which cost "[[Power points|power]]".
The gameplay formula can be seen in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, where the dungeons are randomized each time they are entered, and standard attacks cost nothing, while [[Moves]] cost [[PP]]. There are also various traps hidden that cause a multitude of effects, ranging from [[Status ailment|status aliments]] to [[Damage|damage]].
*Traps hidden on the ground.


===Criticism===
===Criticism===
The repetitive nature of the games has led to some criticism.  While Chunsoft has, indeed, created several games for many famous franchises (including {{wp|Final Fantasy}}'s {{wp|Chocobo's Dungeon}}), not once has it even ''slightly'' changed the points stated above. This leads to several critics saying that the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series is "just another Mystery Dungeon game with Pokémon characters slapped on".
