Atlus FTW.
Etrian Odyssey is another one of those Games from Atlus that hardcores will scream how great it is and the Mass market will scream it's stupid. If your a fan of Atlus this game will not disapoint you at all.
The start of the game you asked to make a guild and choose what kind of group you want. you can then make 5 or more players for your group out of various classes.The way the game is set up it's gonna take alot to get your party to own , but in the end is worth the time put it.
The story in this game is very non existant it's not bad but it's not that important.You are asked to delve into a dungeon and map out what you see. I don't know how anyone can say this makes no sense seeing how if you really were exploring a dungeon, you would have to make a map so you know how to get out. the stylist makes this chore really easy and fun.
The graphics are not horrible there 3d and work great and it looks like it's a high frame rate also. the battle system is really nice because unlike other games that slow down alot to show fancy special effects , etrian does combat really fast so battles tend to go by fast.
The music is well made , but there very small amount of tracks , so you might be listening to the same songs over and over, but good thing is there good songs
This game is a great addition to any DS libary. Reviews seems to be Mixed but overall they all say the same thing , if your a RPG fan your love this game. If your new or never played an RPG then this game can be your gateway to RPG's it' truly is one of original and best RPG's on the DS.
