![]() ![]() Attacks are classified as cuts, stabs, or bashes, and many have elemental or status-inducing effects. Characters can use standard attacks or “Skills,” which are essentially magic attacks, buffs, debuffs, and status modifiers. You actually choose each character’s action prior to the start of the turn, which is useful for chaining abilities together once you figure out the turn order (you can also set battles to auto-play). While engaged in terrestrial cartography, you’ll come across various monsters in the dungeons that are fought with traditional turn-based RPG mechanics. You won’t return there too often, but it’s where the bulk of the narrative beats take place in Story Mode. The other dungeon-Ginnungagap-also plays a role. ![]() Every five floors of the main dungeon, Yggdrasil, make up a “stratum.” Each stratum has a unique aesthetic and monster pool, culminating in a big boss battle. New to the game is the Story Mode, which gives you a set party of five characters to adventure with in the various environments. The original game tasked you with creating your own heroes from numerous classes, and that’s represented in the remake in Classic Mode. If you’re unsure, there’s a demo available. To be fair, I didn’t know how much I’d like it, but I took to map-making like a duck to water. However, I should warn you that if cartography is not well within your wheelhouse, you should probably turn back now (or just use the auto-map functionality). In short, drawing detailed maps is very worth your while. Once you use a particular staircase, you can also warp between staircases. Completing large portions of the map allows you to warp between floors-which is insanely helpful. There are all sorts of helpful icons you can place on the map to point out the location of important quest items, healing spots, treasure chests, etc. Untold 2, which is a remake of the 2008 DS game Etrian Odyssey 2, is a first-person dungeon crawler where the player is tasked with literally drawing a map of each floor on the touch screen as they fight off enemies with their party of five heroes in turn-based battles. ![]() Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 might be my favorite game on the system. I beat the game, beat a bunch of post-game content, completed almost all of the quests, prepared all of the recipes, drew all of the maps, and eventually ran around killing low-tier mini-boss characters just for chuckles. The game will be released at retail and through the eShop in Europe, but it will not arrive in the region until February 12, 2016.Etrian Odyssey Untold 2, the latest in the dungeon-crawling series from Atlus, sank its hooks into me deep and quickly climbed to the top tier of my 3DS Activity Log. New changes to the Grimoire stone system let players customize their entire party as well, allowing members to use abilities from different classes.īring a Blanket – Just as in Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl and Persona Q, in addition to normal difficulty, players can choose Picnic mode for a low-difficulty experience, or veterans can choose Expert mode for a punishing play-through.Įtrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight will be released at retail and digitally through the eShop in North America on August 4. Only available in the game's Story mode, the Fafnir gives players the ability to transform into a beastly demonic form to enhance attributes and abilities - potentially turning a losing battle into a narrow victory. The Untold portion contains a new story mode featuring the Fafnir Knight and Princess Arianna along with a fixed party, voiced dialogue, and animated cutscenes.Ĭreatures of Comfort – Vastly improved game systems makes the game easily approachable for beginners, but still challenging for die-hard veterans.īrand New Additions – A brand new character class called the Fafnir. The 3DS title is basically two games in one: the 3DS update to Etrian Odyssey 2: Heroes of Lagaard with new dungeon layouts, new graphics, and system improvements featured in Untold and the full Untold portion. Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight will be released in the west starting this fall. ![]()
