Immersed in a dungeon as mysterious as it is labyrinthine, evolving in the first person with a small troop of brave comrades, the player must map the surroundings, reach the end of the game without getting lost and survive the many traps set up on his way. That sums up all the episodes. Simple, certainly, but it is this sobriety which made the success of esteem of the saga. Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection proposes to revisit the concept with HD smoothing of sprites and environments and remastered soundtracks. For neophytes, several adjustable difficulty modes will be offered, as well as a much more permissive backup.
And the triple
On Switch as on Steam, the mapping tools have been adjusted to the new controls of Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection. At Nintendo, it will be possible to use the touch screen; on PC, everything will be done with the mouse. Always to honor the original ergonomics, it will be possible to advance in the dungeon with a split screen, the right half of the screen being devoted to our map. Moreover, the team management menus can be manipulated with the finger and the mouse for more comfort.
