The scheme is unchangeable: your group of adventurers from exploring the wilderness, real labyrinths that will be mapped, using the stylus to navigate, avoid traps or too powerful enemies to better save in case. Going in search of fortune, fighting, fame, money, rare materials, etc.
In Etrian Odyssey, it is useless and dangerous to rush headlong: before each exploration, it is essential to prepare his team to have the right weapons. During the fighting, you have to combine the skills of your group and anticipate the actions of your opponent, or even flee if the situation demands ...
By defeating opponents are obtained relics that can and must sell the blacksmith of the city, which will make the equipment more en more efficient.
The Millennium Girl is the remake of the first installment of the saga, originally appeared on the Nintendo DS.
For the occasion, Atlus offers us sumptuous animated scenes, voices and lively dialogues, beautiful music, and offers a real 3D depth of field for all (the fights are very nice).
Besides the "classic" mode, inherited the original game and offers 11 classes of fully customizable characters, there is a very nice story mode, where the playable heroes are set in advance.
You play as a young "Highlander" sent by his clan to the city of Etria it seems terrible events happen there.
From here, you'll need to explore the maze of Yggdrasil, divided into strata.
Along the way, you'll meet a girl who seemed to sleep for centuries and has lost his memory.
With your team you will unlock the mysteries of the place, help the girl to remember who she is, and fight dangerous creatures.
While the scenario is not a mad originality, but it is very pleasant.
Atlus, for this part, thought of all the players: in fact, the difficulty is here configured.
For novices, mode "Picnic" will allow them to venture relatively calmly in the labyrinths; experienced players, meanwhile, will try to the other two levels of difficulty.
If the story mode you "needed" five characters with preset classes - which is very interesting for players who discover this universe - free mode will allow you to act as you see fit by fully setting your team.
With this freedom of movement, the original game already very long (one heaped thirty hours) acquires considerable life. Especially since it is now possible, thanks to tomes stones, to acquire the powers of his allies or enemies ...
Etrian Odyssey: The Millennium Girl, is not only a great remake of a good game on the DS, it is one of the best RPGs out on the Nintendo 3DS.
Only downside, the game is entirely in English and animated scenes are not captioned.
Good game!
