RPGamer: "Etrian Odyssey has been widely credited with the revival of the classic first-person dungeon-crawling experience since its arrival in 2007. An unashamed love letter to the early days of classes and labyrinthine dungeons gave a most welcome trip into nostalgia for many RPG veterans and let those fresher to the RPG scene get an experience of the sort of systems that evolved into those of the present. The series makes the jump to Nintendo's latest handheld for Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan, which looks set to continue its traditions in providing that throwback experience to the unflinching challenges of old."
