Etrian Odyssey
SCORE: 61
How much of a video game historian are
you? With all of the video game corruption, and lack of morals, ethics,
and integrity I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming purchased a copy of
Etrian Odyssey on the Nintendo DS. It is so eye opening to see where a
franchise began. Etrian Odyssey helped me respect where the franchise
has made improvements over the years.
Etrian Odyssey is a first person dungeon crawler that is slow. Expect to
grind constantly in Etrian Odyssey. Not just for levels either. Etrian
Odyssey will require the player to grind for resources as well. Kill
monsters to get items. Sell those items for better armor and weapons to
be created. The expensive prices for weapons and armor will require more
grinding. Players must make their own maps of the levels with the
limited in game tools.
Etrian Odyssey looks okay and it sounds okay for a Nintendo DS hand held
video game. There are characters not wearing a lot in Etrian Odyssey.
The issues in Etrian Odyssey are blood, violence, lack of attire,
enticement to lust. There are gaia beliefs in Etrian Odyssey. It takes
time to get there and many gamers will give up on this game. Etrian
Odyssey is challenging.
If you feel like committing all of the time to Etrian Odyssey then you
will get your moneys worth. The controls in Etrian Odyssey are so
frustrating. What exasperates this is I know how things were improved in
future games. Say you want to assign a skill point after a level up in
Etrian Odyssey. You can only do one character at a time. Then go back to
the menu to select the next character.
Etrian Odyssey is one of the better games in the franchise in terms of
offensive content. We create our characters, and adventure with our
team. There are all kinds of cool missions to complete that reward our
characters in ways that lessens the grinding. Always keep some money
around for sleeping at the inn. Otherwise you will have to pay for a
character to be resurrected.
