To answer your question, Yuzo Koshiro is rockin' the Etrian Odyssey soundtracks pretty hard!
I like your ideas for modernizing the series, and genre in general. I would rather stare at a wall than play a standard brawler at this point even though I loved them in their heyday.
People used to make sense?
I was interested in trying this game out and you are more positive than most seem to be. I never played the original, but was a huge GATO and Silent Service fan so I'm always drawn to naval combat games. I'll have to check the bargain bins and give it a shot.
I'm probably in the Dune camp as far as franchises go. Although I've never been able to watch an entire Dune movie and/or mini-series. I still have more books to read... big time.
That said, even though I read Anathem three or more years ago, I think about it constantly and might re-read someday soon.
I actually read a positive review of it that I happened upon randomly. It sounds like it was the same as Picdun 2, but without the ladies. I'll leave verification of this assumption up to you, the readers.
It does. Just as a public service, though, I point you to our review policy link. My 1/5 rating fits nicely into our guidelines. Some sites might give a 1/5 to a game that is simply not functioning whereas our 1/5 games can actually work as intended! (Note that this game had a few minor things that did not work).
The battle system was fairly speedy. There are just so many random encounters and you have to retrace your steps a lot to complete a level that it eventually becomes a chore.
I hadn't heard of this either until it showed up in the e-Shop. I knew it was risky, but the dungeon crawling with promise of some strange game mechanics made me curious. But alas, I was robbed.
Proper implementation of hawtness can be good, or at least acceptable. This is just downright tacky.
If I keep one person from buying this game, I have done my job.
There can be no Pixies without Kim Deal.
