Karn Spyder Lee Bianco writes "The roguelike dungeon crawling genre certainly isn't an obvious match for a cutesy, Chocobo-filled roleplaying game, but it's just what developer h.a.n.d. and publisher Square Enix have given Wii owners with Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon. Despite remaining mostly true to its turn-based, randomly generated predecessors, however, Chocobo's Dungeon might just boast enough fresh ideas to entice those previously put off by the genre's penchant for unforgiving - and, in some player's opinions, unduly archaic - gameplay features."
