Here, the combat breaks up exploration, not story. It calls back to the days before CGI cut scenes, Social Links and dialogue tree romance options redefined role-playing games as a story-driven format spiced up by occasional combat. Etrian Odyssey 5 hearkens back to the role-playing games of the early ’80s, when the genre mostly involved grueling dungeon crawls through winding labyrinths and it relies on the dual-screen format of the DS/2DS/3DS family to make its demanding designs work.įrom the beginning, the driving concept behind Etrian Odyssey has been to take the RPG concept back to its formative years. A great deal has changed with this latest Odyssey, but it remains faithful to key principles the first chapter of the series established a decade ago. Of these, Atlus' Etrian Odyssey 5 may well prove to be the most unforgiving of the bunch. At the same time, however, you’ll also find a modest selection of unflinchingly difficult games geared toward seasoned players. On one hand, the platform is largely propped up by all-ages titles geared toward kids who have come into possession of 3DS systems as its price drops and their older siblings move along to livelier platforms.
