Etrian Odyssey for Nintendo DS

In a vast and fertile land lies a small town known as Etria, a peaceful village that became famous for a startling discovery. A crack in the vast forest opened at Etria's edge, leading downward like a gaping maw. It all began there...Those who hear rumors of the labyrinth of Etria, whether young or old, begin to harbor dreams of exploring it. Riches, fame, prestige, all that and one more thing does the labyrinth promise: the true spirit of adventure, on the perilous edge of death. Today, like any other day in the new Etria, a youth walks through the town gates, FEATURES: Make your own maps with the Touch Screen! Plot your progress through the labyrinth, drawing walls and placing icons to note special events, treasure chests, doors, pits, stairs, and landmarks. Nine character classes! Create a woodland survivalist, shield-bearing templar, whip-wielding dark hunter, or any of a half-dozen other types. Populate an adventurer's guild with up to 20 characters! Turn-based strategic combat! Acquire and collect more than 20 battle skills for your adventuring party of five characters. All-star production staff!
