Gameplay wise, the series has made some updates to the established formula but the gameplay loop is essentially the same, with the player crafting a team of adventurers from a large list of classes and mapping out the local labyrinth. 9/10Įtrian Odyssey V is another great entry in an already well established niche series, and I'm happy to say that the latest installment carries on the tradition of excellence. Its party building and create your own odyssey feel give this game a D and D feel. This game's steep difficulty curve makes this game hard to recommend to anyone but to hardcore gamers you may find solace in this series. While this game does not take the series in any new direction, it is still a great homage to old school RPG's and will remind many people of the old days playing games like Wizardry. Labyrinths are slow paced and become dull after several hoursĮtrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth is an excellent addition to a series famous for its high difficulty, party building, and map making. Light on story(not a complaint I have but one the public may have) There are ten new classes, some of my favorites are Rover, Warlock, Dragoon, and Pugilist. Each have unique skills only their race can learn. Last but not least are the Brouni, who are magical dwarves. They are basically the hard hitters and supporters. ![]() The Therians(my favorite), who look human but have animal ears. There are the Celestrians, who are basically elves. A new Race feature adds in race skills, which are basically skills only certain race can **** races in the game are Earthlain, who are basically humans. The graphics are good for a 3ds game, but nothing groundbreaking. Yet its great to go from a forest to a canyon and then from a canyon to a graveyard created by a long forgotten war. ![]() The stratums are diverse but due to the fact it takes about 10 hours to reach the next one they can become a little boring towards the end. But lets be real, if you take away map making EO is no longer EO. The mapping system is as challenging as ever but with a full auto map some of the games frustration is alleviated. The true story isn't really revealed until about 40 hours and is fairly generic. The story is very thin( which ii what you should expect from an EO game so people can't complain). Imagine binding the legs, arms, and head of a boss for three turns and they can't retaliate as you beat the living daylights out of them. It can quickly give you the edge you need in a boss fight. Union skills are the latest addition to the series and is probably one of my favorites. The character customization is at its best, controlling the smallest details of your team is great. A large amount of grinding is often required to face each stratum boss, but that is just how Etrian games work. Its high difficulty curve makes this game hard to recommend to anyone but to hardcore RPG fanatics who don't mind getting killed by Acorns this is great fun. One of the best EO games as well as one of the hardest. If you want an RPG for grown-ups and fans of classic RPGs, any game in the EO series is a must-have, and EOV is a contender for best in the series so far. The challenge is still more than there and it still has Atlus' special charm. The voice acting is surprisingly good, and really does add an element that was not there before. I enjoy the classes more than previous installments, there are less "must-have" classes (though Dragoon does still seem pretty necessary) and now there are races and race-specific skills to see you through. Your goal is to get to the top of the tree. When it comes to the gameplay itself, they even scaled it back a little, no more weird trips in a balloon. In any case, it's still your classic Etrian Odyssey adventure, but now with robust character customization- you can choose between your normal multiple character art models but change hair color, eye color, and it has 60 different voices to outfit your characters with. Still, it loses at least a point for that. On the negative side, however, they have introduced both cosmetic and XP-grinding DLC in this game, nothing too in your face or must-have for a single-player game (most of the skins are meh anyway). Atlus treats their customers right, you get a full-color art book, and full-color manual, and the soundtrack, in all its fantastical jazzy goodness. First off- BUY THE PHYSICAL COPY IF YOU CAN.
