Etrian Odyssey V Beyond the Myth

SCORE: 59

Time heals all wounds. Even ones dealing with a video game company that is corrupt, and completely unethical. I realized with all of the failures over at Atlus USA, certain games were not provided to us. No worries Family Friendly Gaming Universe, we saved up the money to purchase them. Etrian Odyssey V Beyond the Myth is one such video game on the Nintendo 3DS. I have a fondness for this franchise.

The issues with Etrian Odyssey V Beyond the Myth that families need to be educated to are false gods, magic, violence, lack of attire, enticement to lust, bad language, and more. There are multiple races, and multiple classes in Etrian Odyssey V Beyond the Myth. This game is a first person dungeon crawler. The Etrian Odyssey series lasted quite a while on the handhelds too.

If you are not familiar with this franchise you need to understand one important thing. Etrian Odyssey V Beyond the Myth is slow. I mean painfully slow. We have to mine for materials, fish, harvest, fight monsters, and then sell materials for better weapons and armor to be made. The costs of items, armor, accessories and weapons is insanely high in Etrian Odyssey V Beyond the Myth. Each level up we get one skill point to improve that character. Some things take ten level ups to learn.

I am not fond of the union skills in Etrian Odyssey V Beyond the Myth. They allow two characters to launch special attacks together. I found them to be not very helpful. I also had issues using magic in Etrian Odyssey V Beyond the Myth. Another aspect of Etrian Odyssey V Beyond the Myth is mapping the floors. We draw a map which is actually pretty handy when it comes to mining, harvesting, and fishing. I loved using a camping site to cook the food too.

There are a variety of adventurer log things that can happen in Etrian Odyssey V Beyond the Myth. Some of them are good and some of them are bad. We never know until we investigate. I hope this series comes back in the future. I also hope many of the moral, ethical, and religious issues are made more friendly for the super majority of Americans that self-identify as Christian.
