Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth Review

85%Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth Review
Whether it’s your first foray into Yggdrasil or your fifth, playing Etrian Odyssey V is a true pleasure. Its addictive central gameplay loop combines engaging exploration, strategic combat and DIY cartography, all wrapped up in a charming presentation and a lush, organic aesthetic. It’s gorgeous to look at it, beautifully balanced, and polished to a sheen, but perhaps best of all Etrian Odyssey V feels like the culmination of a concept that’s uniquely tied to the 3DS. With its touchscreen mapping and masterful use of stereoscopic 3D, it feels utterly at home here, and while the little handheld may have plenty of life in it yet, we still can’t imagine a more fitting swan song for this extraordinary era of dual-screened RPG wonder. A must for any aspiring adventurer.
90%Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth Review
Immersive, challenging, and personable, Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth on Nintendo 3DS is an excellent RPG that balances both difficulty and customisation with a considerable amount of care. Total freedom over what classes and races are in the party gives a clear identity to each play-through, and even if two guilds end up with the exact same party, skill trees and class changing ensure each character has their own individuality. Patience and preparation is the key to surviving Yggdrasil. A legitimate demand for strategy and a lack of grinding ensures that the challenge never fades. Light on story, heavy on gameplay, and more than enough content to wade through, this is one of the finest RPGs available on the 3DS.
