Etrian Odyssey - 7/10
Atlus is famously known for it's hit and miss rpgs. Not in terms of gameplay but overall rating of their games. Etrian Odyssey is one of those hits.
Overall, this game is a dungeon crawler. You start the game in town (the one and only town in the game), and you sign up to the adventurer's guild. From there, you are able to assemble your party of five army from a various assortment of classes.
Paladin - Defenders of Justice
Swordsman - Mercenaries for hire
Dark Hunter - Emo warriors
Ranger - Men/Women in tights
Medic - Heal slaves
Bard - Karaoke Kings/Queens
Alchemist - Mages with the "Urge to blow up the world"
And a bonus class which you unlock later: Bushido/Samurai - The Wandering Swords
When you create a character (max limit:20), you can choose between 2 guys and 2 girls profiles. No no, there's no difference which one you choose, it's purely whichever character design you like. You don't have to have 5 people in your party either, but the more the merrier of course.
There's the Inn for your resting and saving needs, a store which you buy your equip/items from and sell items for unlocking more gear, Doctor's if you need healing items and to revive a member, a bar for Quests, Adventurer's guild to arrange your party and make new characters and the Government centre for your missions and to see what monsters and items you've collected.
Now the dungeon itself, apparently it's basically a huge tree which has over 30 levels. Your quest? To defeat whatever evil lurks within yadda yadda. So the story's not that original but it's still a fun game.
You wander around the dungeon in first person view on the top screen, while the bottom screen acts as your Map. With stylus in hand, you draw up the map as you go along. While this is an interesting feature, they could have used the touch screen for other things such as a camp option or something. Getting into battles is notified by a small semi circle to the bottom right of the top screen. It alerts you if there's a monster near by or if you're going to encounter a random battle. No, you can't avoid the random battles either.
So in battle, it's your standard RPG system with turns. Attack, Defense, Use Skill, Items, Boost and Escape. Boost basically just doubles the effectiveness of the next attack/spell.
Now skills, basically you have a huge list of useful/less skills which all have a max level of 10. You only have a limited amount of points so you really need to consider what the skill does and whether if it's worth investing in, because you won't be getting those points back.
Overall, the game is enjoyable but can become tedious as you crawl from level to level as certain monsters (mainly the ones you can see on the map) are broken as heck. You can alternate your party members so can experiment and make the perfect team or attempt to beat the game with just medics and so forth. The graphics are great with anime-ish monsters/characters with a 3d background. But you might get tired of seeing green all over the screen (well, you are in a tree after all) and this game is a bit of a time sink, since you need to spend some time leveling up to gain access to certain skills.
