About Etrian Odyssey
Players lead a guild of adventurers into the Yggdrasil Labyrinth to uncover the mysteries of the sprawling, multi-layered forest. The primary objective involves deep-delving expeditions to reach the bottom of the dungeon.
Etrian Odyssey introduces a distinct cartography mechanic, mandating that players draw their own maps on the Nintendo DS touch screen as they navigate each floor. The roster includes nine distinct character classes, each with unique skill trees that define party composition and tactical viability.
The game features turn-based combat emphasizing resource management and strategic positioning. Exploration relies on identifying patterns in monster behavior, such as the formidable FOEs that roam the dungeon in real-time.
Notable for its high difficulty and punishing atmosphere, Etrian Odyssey revitalized the first-person dungeon crawler genre on portable hardware.
