Info
A difficulty hack for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky.
The main goal with this hack is to introduce quality of life changes like Move Shortcuts, new dungeon variety, new pokemon spawn lists all while making the original game harder! (But not Kaizo hard) The author also steers away from unnecessary dialogue additions and anything that could take away from a player's experience or ruin immersion. While not directly influenced by Drayano or his hacks, this ROM hack shares similarities in how Drayano approaches hacks, keeping the original game vanilla and building onto its gameplay systems while slightly increasing difficulty.
