What players think
The recurring themes across 249 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The narrative is pretty minimalistic and text-based, the main appeal of the game is definitely dungeon crawling, yet you always get some smaller narrative rewards by talking to the business owners whenever you reach a new floor, making you feel more attached to the characters and experience the fantasy of going from newbie to veteran explorer.
One of the best dungeon crawling gameplay loops, everything outside the dungeon is built to have you go back there as soon as possible.
The HD remaster enhances the original’s presentation with cleaner visuals, higher-resolution character art, and refined audio, but it deliberately avoids reinventing the formula.
Really good soundtrack.
Disclaimer: I played it using a Gamepad
Etrian Odyssey is a first-person dungeon crawler with a pretty cool mapping mechanic that nevers gets old, his presentation is pretty straightforward and menu-based outside dungeons, but it still manages to make the player feel the city of Armoroad as a second home.
