Etrian odyssey3/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Radiant Historia is Chrono Trigger Meets Zero Escape The Adventure Log adds to those risky events by giving more text to read, turning it into a short tabletop story that grants your party significant EXP regardless of your outcome. In previous Etrian Odyssey titles, you could encounter small optional events like whether or not to take a suspicious fruit from a tree. You never really know whether the result of your action will be positive or negative. The Adventure Log is slightly more interesting than the new classes, but even it is an expansion of an already existing feature. My predetermined party were all new classes, but after several battles and sifting through their skill trees, they all seemed more like reskins of previous classes than anything else. The classes you can pick from are tied to their respective race. What’s really cool about this title is that you can select between four different races: Earthrun, Lunaria, Therian, and Bronie when creating your party of five. When I asked what’s new in the game, my only response was new classes and the Adventure Log. The last numbered entry (that wasn’t a remake) released back in 2013 in North America and Europe, and the graphics haven’t changed one bit since then. It doesn’t help that the graphics are starting to really show its age. The dungeon in my demo was the same recycled green forest that has been featured in just about every game thus far. However, the PR representative from Atlus could’ve told me that it was Etrian Odyssey IV, a game I’ve already played, and I would have totally believed him. While the first-person dungeon crawling experience is still the same tried-and-true formula of venturing out into a dungeon, mapping a few floors, completing some side quests, gathering materials, and then returning to town to reap the rewards. ![]() I’ve only played the fourth installment and The Millenium Girl remake of the original, but even so, Etrian Odyssey V feels too much like a copy-paste of previous entries. The saying “you can never have too much of a good thing” couldn’t be more than wrong and Etrian Odyssey V is a perfect example of that. Below, you’ll find my impressions of each JRPG. Atlus had single-handedly sealed the deal for me keeping my 3DS.įortunately, I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Atlus this week at E3 and try out both Etrian Odyssey V and Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology. Atlus wasn’t done, though, recently delivering another one-two punch announcement of Etrian Odyssey V and Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. I reluctantly delayed my plans to sell my 3DS. But, it would require letting my 3DS collect more dust until next year. I was both angry and ecstatic, as this was a title I had always wanted to play but never got around to. The same week I planned to get rid of my 3DS, Atlus announced Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology. However, my days of playing it were already over long before beating Pokémon Sun & Moon last year. Don’t get me wrong, I love the system and I’d go as far as to say that it is my favorite handheld/console of all-time. The promise of being able to play anywhere in addition to on my TV at home had me ready to sell my 3DS in a heartbeat. ![]() I was one of the two million gamers blessed enough to acquire a Nintendo Switch at launch. ![]()
