This game is a grind-fest with practically zero tale. I felt like I was playing a primitive RPG. I will admit it is one of few RPGs I have played that is truly challenging.
I am not sure why this is on the DS. Besides the draw your own map thought the game makes no use of its potential. There is nearly no animation. You never see your characters except in a likeness in menus. Battle is represented by an enemy likeness being assaulted by a flash and either a golden-haired slash or maybe a lightning bolt. The rest of the game is done by exploring a 3D maze first-person stylishness sometimes avoiding a glowing ball that represents a tougher enemy or navigating menus in town.
If you like right ancient school gaming on the go this game is for you. If you want a more evolved game with more substance, I don’t recommend this one.

This game is a breath of fresh air. I started playing RPGs way back on the commodore64. Legacy of the Ancients anyone? I was and am a right Bards Tale fan. The tale shape were very in depth and the control you had over the developement of your characters was intense. You were never really dragged on a leash from one setting to the next. Though you usually got your rear handed to you if you tried an area way to tough. And not to mention the fact that chart paper was a must, or you would spend some time trying to get out of dungeons. Even if you had a kick butt team, getting lost in a labrynth was just no fun.
I remember how I despised how different asian RPGs were in comparison to american. When I was that kid looking for a C64 game and getting a nintendo version I was dissapointed. Though I have learned to like them of late.
So Etrian Odyssey tried to bring back some of that ancient flavore, and for the most part has. But the huge thing here is they brought SOME of that ancient flavour. I still feel that a lot more that could have been place into this game to give it perfection. The largest let down being the non-tale line. What tale there is is very sparse. And has to do with “We don’t know what the bottom looks like”. And a couple of jobs to complete on the side. Like “This kid is dying and wants to see a lvl 20 guy before then”. Or get this holy water and come back, please.
What you are left with is a complete dungeon crawl. And hey I like that. But not everyone will. I’ve read the reviews and though I’ve never played wizardry, I am a fan of the oldies. So for those of you who remember those sports meeting and, well, have time to dissipate. This is a game for you. But this is by know means a Riviera: the promised land, or final fantasy 12.

Etrian Odyssey hearkens back to the ancient days of online computer video sports meeting, a unadorned RPG-stylishness dungeon crawler with enough difficulty and make pleased to keep you interested for as long as you choose.

Most enjoyable handheld game I’ve ever played, but I confess I haven’t played that many. I never got around to finishing this game, but there were so many hours of entertainment to just getting two-thirds of the way owing to that I certainly feel I got my cash’s worth.
There IS a lot of “grinding” involved here, so if you know that you despise that I guess you should stay away.
There is also a tale here, but not one that’s “in your face” with dozens of minutes of unpleasant and dull cutscenes. (If I want to watch a tale, that’s what DVDs are for.)
The game isn’t really that hard. Hard sports meeting are well loved PSP sports meeting like Grand Theft Auto where you get a mission and no matter how many times you try you just can’t end it. The graphics are incredible on GTA and some other PSP sports meeting such as Daxter, but they are just too frustrating for me to play. In Etrian Odyssey, if you find an adversary you can’t defeat, you just need to “grind” a small bit more to raise your levels.
