SEGA has announced the release of Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection on the Nintendo Switch and Steam on 1st June 2023. The collection will showcase the remastered titles which includes: Etrian Odyssey HD, Etrian Odyssey II HD, and Etrian Odyssey III HD.
Etrian Odyssey Series
Etrian Odyssey is a 3D dungeon-crawling RPG series where players select five adventures from an assortment of classes and combine their skills to search for treasure within a vast labyrinth, all while creating a personalized map.
Etrian Odyssey Origin Collections features three adventures with newly added quality-of-life elements, including: difficulty selection, auto-mapping function, high-definition graphics labyrinths, and more.
Features
Auto-Mapping Function
The HD remasters have an auto-mapping function that automatically records all the floors and walls players have come across. Players can draw walls and floors to create the base of the map, and place icons to mark any doors, treasures, or points of interest you discover.
Defeat Monsters and Create a Powerful Party
Defeating monster lurking within the Labyrinth will increase your party’s level and grant you skill points. Players can then use these skill points to unlock powerful abilities for each class.
