 Rating:  - For old-school RPG masochists. Others need not apply.Etrian Odyssey is not for everyone. In fact, Etrian Odyssey is probably for very few people. It's a decidedly niche title, and if you have either outgrown "old-school" role-playing mechanics or are expecting a cinematic experience on the level of today's Japanese role-playing adventures, this game will disappoint you. That said, Etrian Odyssey will very likely greatly satisfy anyone in its target market. The mapmaking tools are there for anyone who fondly recalls drawing their own maps ... Read More Rating:  - The definition of "Hardcore"I don't think I have played a DS game longer than this one! It's been almost a year since I bought it on its release date, and I'm still playing it... The only other game that will make me stop playing it will be its sequel, Etrian Odyssey II : Heroes of Lagaard. Just so you are warned, this game won't score high for its animation or use of the DS graphics engine. The art design had mainly two different artists, one for the characters and town, and one for the monsters you fight. All are presented ... Read More Rating: - Only one flawOverall, Etrian Odyssey is a great game worth your time. This game has very beautiful scenery which changes dramatically every five floors. Exploring through the dungeon is fun and rarely repetitive. Every so often it may be annoying to go through the same floors over and over again. There is only one real flaw that you probably won't notice until the end of the game draws near. You are limited as to how many skill points to assign your characters, which requires you to be very careful in appointing ... Read More Rating: - Etrian ExcellencyFirst I'll post my main rating for this game. Gameplay: 9.5/10 There's some repetitivity at times, and there is intense level grinding. Level grinding is when you have to battle around for atleast 30 minutes for cash or levels for the sake of being able to advance in the game. But once you're high enough you can usually walk right through the next floor of the dungeon. Difficulty: 10/10 No matter what floor you're on when you first start a new floor you'll fear running into a FoE and dying. ... Read More Rating: - I really love Etrian Odyssey!I didn't buy Etrian Odyssey right away, despite having considerable curiosity about the game when it came out. I left it on my wish-list instead, and got it for Christmas (thanks Mom!). In contrast to the easy, story-driven Luminous Arc, (another ATLUS title for the DS) Etrian Odyssey is almost story-free, and extremely difficult. So difficult, in fact, that I was killed by butterflies on the first mission of the first level, and was so shocked that I put it aside and played something else instead. I was literally ...
