Combining classic dungeon exploring, old school ‘pen and paper’ style map drawing, ferocious and inspired enemies and an absorbing universe, Etrian Odyssey will reawaken the imagination of every player and launch them into a magical world of quest and combat. Etrian Odyssey launches across Europe on 6 June 2008.

Set in Etria, a small village at the edge of the fabled Yggdrasil Labyrinth, heroes from all over the world are drawn to the challenge of reaching the depths of the enchanted caverns, recovering riches, defeating monsters and gaining everlasting fame. However, until this day, no one has ever discovered the labyrinth’s secrets and reached the bottom level and survived to tell the tale. It is now your time to change this.

Recording your route is crucial for any adventurer when exploring the dungeon and the Nintendo DS’s Touch Screen makes this process intuitive, enjoyable and reminiscent to old school ‘pen and paper’ dungeon mapping. Using the Nintendo DS stylus, players are able to precisely draw walls to map up a 2D representation of the map and identify important places with detailed notes. Updates to the map are continually saved, which is great news if your band comes to an untimely end within the labyrinth.

Etria is in need of a hero and you are more than worthy to answer the call. Don that armour, grab that spell book and sharpen your trusty sword, Etrian Odessy is calling for you to defeat the Labyrinth!-Nintendo DS
