About this product

Product Information

The third entry in the Nintendo DS-exclusive Etrian Odyssey RPG series, The Drowned City sends adventurers on an epic journey across the sea and beneath the waves, in search of the technological secrets and legendary treasures of a sunken metropolis. Similar to its predecessors, Etrian Odyssey III plays with the sophistication of a tabletop role-playing game. The character-class development trees offer abundant branches of specialization, players create their own maps as they explore, and the secrets of a lost civilization await those willing to follow clues and quests to their convoluted conclusions.<br><br>Players adventure from a 3D, first-person perspective in the top screen, moving one grid square at a time in the touch-screen map below. With an affirmed "old-school RPG" style, the game rewards patience and perseverance with depth and detail. The Drowned City features a new set of ten main character classes, including diverse choices such as Hoplite, Ninja, and Farmer. Acting as a guild master, players recruit new characters, decide who will go on which adventures, and assign skill development points as they are obtained.<br><br>Combat is turn-based, allowing players to formulate strategies and execute tactics that maximize the team-based attacks and defenses of their five-character parties. As in earlier Etrian Odyssey adventures, the game world is a sprawling labyrinth, full of danger and almost completely uncharted at the beginning of the game. By keeping a detailed map in the touch screen, players gradually create an invaluable tool for finding new conquests, as well as for finding the way back to the safety of town to recuperate (and save the game!) after a big fight.

  • Love it or Hate it.....

    When Etrian Odyssey debuted on the Nintendo DS in 2007 it, like other Atlus titles, became notorious for its deep leveling system and punishing difficulty. It seems the company has adopted the teaching method of Catholic nuns -- smacking players with a ruler for every misstep. Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City continues that tradition. This first-person dungeon crawler RPG (sounds complicated, but it isn't) is one of those games you'll either love or despise, depending on your patience level. If you've played either of the first two games you'll immediately feel at home in the third. Once again you're in a city with a beautiful yet extremely dangerous labyrinth that many have tried to conquer but none have survived. Like the elusive ends of a double rainbow, what lies at the conclusion of this labyrinth is a mystery. This formerly-underwater maze was found in the city of Armoroad and you lead a novice guild hoping to endure the risky journey throughout 25 levels across six Stratums. Determined to be the first group to solve it, you'll explore the dungeon, slay creatures, harvest goods and complete quests

  • Awesome ds game

    Awesome DS game, pretty much made for the dual screen setup. Graphics are good for the hardware and the gameplay is endless, although, as with others in the series, slightly repetative.

  • My favorite game ever.

    Very tough game, but patience pays off. The game's story, characters, and lore are all interesting and there are many twists. The soundtrack is AMAZING.
