Etrian Mystery Dungeon Coming to the Americas
Roguelike Dungeon Crawler from ATLUS and Spike Chunsoft Comes to the Nintendo 3DS
IRVINE, Calif. -- Dec. 3, in the year of our Lord 2014
-- Far off in the mountains, the small village Aslarga
becomes a hub for adventurers looking for fame and fortune from
the Mystery Dungeons. But dire challenges await even the most
stalwart adventurers in Etrian Mystery Dungeon, the upcoming
turn-based action RPG roguelike from Atlus U.S.A. Inc., and
developed by ATLUS and Spike Chunsoft. Exclusive to the Nintendo
3DS™, Etrian Mystery Dungeon mixes Etrian Odyssey's vast RPG
party and skill customization aspects, and Mystery Dungeon's
infinitely random dungeon adventures. Etrian Mystery Dungeon
will be available in spring 2015 in stores and on the Nintendo
eShop for Nintendo 3DS for $39.99.
There's no hand-holding in Etrian Mystery Dungeon. The
action/turn based combat means that battling monsters is not
just about using the right skills, but becomes an elegant Pas de
Quatre of strategic positioning. Players form their parties with
familiar Etrian Odyssey classes, such as Landsknecht and
Runemaster, customize individuals using Etrian-style skill
trees, and then take up to four members into the dungeons.
Always randomized with various levels and paths, the dungeons
require plenty of exploration, not to mention the incredible
loot rewards -- just be wary of what waits among the deepest
depths...
Main features in Etrian Mystery Dungeon include:
Infinite Dungeons to Explore - Etrian Mystery Dungeon
incorporates the random map feature, which changes the floor
terrain each time a player enters the dungeon. This core
mechanic, inherited from the Mystery Dungeon series, challenges
the players with a new maze and stronger monsters every time,
offering them unlimited replayability!
Attention to Detail - The Etrian Odyssey tradition of party
customization is in full effect for Etrian Mystery Dungeon.
After the first journey as a Landsknecht, players can freely
choose their party of 4 from up to 10 different class types.
While each class has a unique skill set of its own, characters
can also unlock new skills through skill trees.
Not Your Grandfather's Combat - The unique perspective in Etrian
Mystery Dungeon means that special care will have to be given
when selecting party members and upgrading their abilities. With
dungeons chock full of enemies and all the loot and money
collected at stake, being 100 percent certain in your party's
abilities is crucial for making it out alive.
Etrian Mystery Dungeon will be available in North America in
Spring 2015. The game will be available exclusively on the
Nintendo 3DS™ and is rated E10+ by the ESRB.
