This is my second time finishing this (first time being the DS version and also dabbling in the untold version), but i am reminded why i like this style of Dungeon Crawler. Unlike Wizardry-like games that is hard wired into RNG everything (from equipment drops, to stat increases, with even chances at your map being destroyed and perma death), the mechanics of the EO games is more absolute (stats are clearly displayed, boosts are shown, there is no hidden mechanics, gear is unlocked in the shop through selling monster drops monster drops, and the classes are simple to understand). All in all it's quite new player friendly despite being very hard in the beginning and towards the end of the game, going into the post game. All you have to do is just explore and make your way down, very simple but fun concept. The map controls moving over to pc takes a little getting used to but they somehow made drawing on the map relatively painless either through the right stick on your controller + triggers to select things, or preferably just simply using the touch screen on the steam deck or mouse to draw since they worked in kb and mouse controls. Exploration and drawing out maps just becomes fun to do (6th stratum not withstanding since that's the obligatory bullshit map selection that every dungeon crawler has at least one of). Combat-wise.... since its the first game you can maybe tell the balance a little wonky and they they did not quite get it right until the 3rd game. This one heavily relies on defensive buffs to get through the latter half in the game to the point where its near impossible to fight the super bosses without a tank (though possible with some timing and rng jank) and completely impossible to beat the 6th sanctum boss. Progression-wise there is some growing pains to start which is as expected when you are going into it with a lvl 1 party and no real skills to your unit's name. Without going through spoilers, the difficulty of the first boss is actually quite interesting since you have to kill it fast or else get swarmed. Which is a mechanic you don't see much in other EOs until much later sanctums. After that one part though you'll find that progression becomes much easier as you start to unlock more hard hitting skills, and just going into encounters blind becomes easier from the 2nd sanctum going forward, to the point where you can just fight the FOEs as you come across them. Difficulty is as you'd expect from a dungeon crawler though a QoL feature added, was the ability change the difficulty whenever you want outside of the dungeon between: - Expert - The OG EO1 difficulty. I wouldn't call this difficulty fun since it forces you to over-grind and be more party specific to survive, but if you want the OG experience (or just to beat your head at the wall to get the final achievement) then have at er. - Basic - It's hard but not overly so. Highly recommend playing it on this setting since it gives you the feel of the OG EO1, but won't punish you if you aren't running a Medic/Tank through most of the game. - Picnic - Makes everything die in a couple of hits. I don't recommend progressing on this difficulty since imo it takes away the fun of the game. It is excellent however when you need to level up units since you get an exp boost, or for runs through the dungeon with a collection squad that you no longer need to keep pace with your main team to not die in the later stratum. All in all, play how you want and have fun with it, i know i did.

Positives: They've rebalanced some of the skills, fixed the binding system so Dark Hunters and Hexers are usable, added a new battle track and translated mapping over very smoothly. On top of this, the resting system now takes 5 levels, not 10, so respeccing is not as punishing. It is also a script-complete faithful port, and it's just really nice to have the Etrian Odyssey franchise on PC and modern consoles. Quicksaving is also an excellent timesaving feature, and you can swap over to Picnic mode for a bit if you ever feel like farming faster (and you almost certainly will have to farm). Basic mode is also a good way to just tone the game down, whereas Expert is basically how the original's combat goes in terms of damage dealt and taken. Negatives: It's still EO1. EO1 is not a good game. EO1 is the embodiment of a 6 course dinner where the food progressively adds more laxatives as you go along, hosted by someone who spent too long as a teacher in an elementary school and now no longer allows ANYONE to leave early. The dungeon designs are visually cool. The actual gimmicks and layouts suck ass. The skill balance is heavily reliant on either completely negating damage with counter shields or grinding your ass off to abuse the game's level scaling damage system. There are plenty of skills that do nothing or next to nothing because the formulas are jank as hell. Don't invest in Defense or Speed debuffs. Accuracy down is also very questionable. The enemy and boss designs are a tossup between one-shotting bullshit and completely bugged skillsets that do next to nothing. There are also enemies that are essentially immune to physical attacks. This is not particularly amusing. There are conditional drops with random drop rates and the overall drop rates aren't great. Several of the superbosses have a 5% drop. Yep. There's also rare enemies that spawn in specific spots at a low rate that you need to beat multiple times to get ultimate accessories. The shop pricing is hell. It's mostly fine, but endgame and postgame gear will frequently be 100k+ money. You're gonna want a gathering team if you're trying to get some extra cash because regular enemy drops aren't impressive profit. Some of the gear has to be restocked. Normally that's fine, but this Includes an accessory that requires 50 of a certain item. I pray for the completionists. The quests are atrocious and the vast majority of them can be skipped; unlike EO3 onwards, quests don't give EXP, and the rewards themselves are usually completely whatever. The town NPCs rarely have anything to say, some of them even being locked into the same dialog line for the entire game. The postgame Stratum is a complete waste of your time, featuring no additional story and several floors of terrible dungeon crawling layouts. If your team is solid, the fights this incurs will not be challenging to begin with, so it's just pointless tedium. Thank you, EO1. Why am I giving it a thumbs up? - As a port, it is good. In fact, it goes above and beyond in some ways. It's just that the base game itself isn't super good. - It is still EO, a series I am fond of. - It is interesting to see where the series began and how those roots carried over into other games. Most of all it's interesting to see how much it's improved since: while 2 is a mixed bag and 3 still has some balancing biases, 3 is very fun and rich in content, while 4, 5 and Nexus are generally much more polished. - The game has a particular charm when it comes to its aesthetic and story framing. It also has a genuinely decent twist, though its story is otherwise pretty minimalist. - The gameplay, despite being utterly broken as shit, does have some cool ideas. I'm particularly fond of Survivalists and Medics in terms of their versatility. In conclusion, I would not recommend purchasing this title on its own. Get the full collection on discount and you've gotten a good deal. These are 40-80 hour games each, and serve as good picks if you enjoy dungeon crawling gameplay.

If you have an office job and want a game you can kinda play on the background you're in the right place. -Turn based exploration and combat. You can go make that important call or fill that spreadsheet, game will be there waiting for you -Simple controls -Reasonable difficulty -Only 1 GB: Your work issued Thinkpad will have no problems with it My work performance is suffering, but I was gonna be let go either way! Downsides: Denuvo

in this game ive went through poverty, party wipes, unmapable areas, cheesy ass bosses, forced genocide, climate change, sandy barrens, and murderous deers. only to get an ending that i can compare to the congratulations scene from Evangelion and then you find out there is a post game where the mapping tools are literally insufficient to map it 8/10! i'm a fucking masochist!

as a fan of Etrian Odyssey since the release of V, and who has played all of the games in the series, here's my opinion on this remaster Pros: -Keeps some features/gameplay elements from the original DS version that were removed in untold (Immunize being broken and very powerful lol) -Improves the UI of the skill custom, making it way more easily understandable and clear compared to the DS version -The new sprites for each class look really cool -plays really well on both keyboard and mouse and on controller (personally tried with both Switch and PS5 controller), you would have thought that the lack of a second screen would have really hindered mapping, but it's not that bad and you get used to it quite fast, even if you're used to DS/3DS mapping Cons: -Even though i know that the story mode from untold wasn't liked by everyone, and that this remasters the DS version and not the 3DS version, i still wish it was here in this HD remaster in some way (i love Frederica Irving from EO Untold and Arianna Caledonia from Untold 2) -this remaster is kind of overpriced imo, i personally bought it on sale, where the collection is at a decent price, however it still should have been 20$ a piece and 60$ (the price of a standard video game yknow) for the whole collection
