DS Village: Etrian Odyssey II Review

DS Village writes: "Atlus is back with more old-school dungeon exploration on the DS. Better than the original in nearly all respects, is it enough to entice new players?

Those who enjoyed the first installment in this clunky pen-and-paper style RPG have undoubtedly already purchased Etrian Odyssey II. The sequel promises more of the same – players craft a party and explore an uncharted dungeon with mapmaking tools (in this case the DS stylus) in hand. While the first game suffered from some weaknesses that were largely the result of sticking to a bare-bones formula, the new upgrades might appeal to those who were intrigued by the first game but never took the plunge."

Pros:
+A deep and reqarding dungeon crawler with hours of content for the old-school RPG fan.

Cons:
-The difficulty level and emphasis on levelling remains from the first installment.
