dungeon crawler chads... we're going home.

I would still prefer to play them om the DS. The two screens really lend themselves to the gameplay, since you have the map panel right in front of you all the time, no need to switch around to draw the map.

The setup they've got going in the remasters looks awkward.

It might work fine on PC if you can use the mouse like the stylus

I really like both dungeon crawlers and job based systems, so I've always wanted to try these. Looking forward to this release.

EO1 was my first crawler. Had no idea what I was getting into at the time. The DS had such a good library that I struck gold time and time again just buying whatever looked cool at the local game store. I already own the originals so I won't bother double-dipping (especially at that price point lol) but it is cool to see these get a PC release.

Etrian Odyssey 1-3 (especially 1 and 2, although 1 is very unbalanced/broken) are highly recommended, excellent games if you do not mind that your characters look fairly anime.
That said I am not sure I feel like spending that much money on them just to play them again, even though I very much loved them.

Novices ought to be advised that the difficulty is very high.

Was hyped to hear about this. Will definitely be getting the bundle.

Any reason why they are not releasing the Untold version?

Maybe so they can release it later as "Etrian Odyssey HD Untold" for $40 per game, again.

Did they release Catherine: Full Body on PC?

I'm not sure if that's a rhetorical question, but it appears they did not.

Not rhetorical, just thought that this seems similar. Instead of releasing the most recent version, they are doing the same shit as in Catherine.

For someone who likes Wizardry-style DRPGs, how are these games - specifically 3? I've seen many comments from people who come from the other direction - playing the Etrian games and then saying that no other DRPG is as good. That immediately makes me very suspicious.

Have you played Elminage Gothic? Aweigh is a big wizardry fan and he sings its praises a lot.

I enjoyed all of them immensely, and 3 probably is the best. I am one of those you describe who finds them to be the best of the genre. I loved designing my party and building my characters (there are skill trees and each class has a number of abilities). The boss fights were great, random encounters can be brutal, and you had better avoid FOEs if you value your life. Exploring and drawing your map in-game is fun.

I recommend playing them all, though 1 does have some broken skills, the brokenness of which is not immediately apparent from their descriptions.

Yeah, I like Elminage Gothic. Elminage Original isn't as good.

@WhiteShark thanks. I might try it out then.
