Create endless adventures with the Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection! Explore the rich beginnings of this RPG franchise with remasters of three timeless adventures that inspire players to go on a journey of discovery, mapping deep dungeons, and building customized parties for exploring and engaging in tactical combat. Play as the leader of a guild of adventurers, searching for rare treasures and secrets within the depths of a vast, sprawling labyrinth. Traverse and draw a map of the environment while encountering enemies large and small in turn-based combat, then return to town to rest, sell materials for better equipment, and manage your party, selecting from a collection of heroes to build the right team for the job. Survive a vast, labyrinthian forest on the edge of a peaceful village in Etrian Odyssey HD, journey to a floating castle in the sky in Etrian Odyssey II HD, and be transported to an oceanic paradise and rumors of a drowned city in Etrian Odyssey III HD. New features included remastered graphics, a remastered soundtrack, quality of life improvements, difficulty options and save slots

the fonts look bad but overall EO gameplay translates shockingly well to an undocked switch with a capacitive pen. basic difficulty makes I and II a lot more palpable for noobs (will try the original difficulty original eventually) but it's kind of overkill for III thanks to the breadth of exp and kind of busted character builds available.

Peak because EO. I'm really happy we get new stuff for eo3 + the HD art is pretty but not increasing the fov distance is kinda dumb. Also, the way they handled the maps is lame imo, no need to cover half your screen.

Got the final achievement and platinum'd all three games today.
All I can say: peak

Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection is great news for dungeon crawlers who want to rediscover a turn-based combat classic on Nintendo Switch and PC. The feature whereby you have to draw your own maps might be disorienting for those who have never tried a chapter in the saga, but it will make you feel like a true explorer seeking their fortune in uncharted territory. The turn-based confrontations are solid, the classes varied, and there are really a lot of possibilities for building builds to have a team that fits your play style perfectly. The main shortcoming of the Collection is the launch price of 80 euros, rather high in my opinion, which immediately turns the three-game bundle into a product only for those who are fans of all three titles and want to relive them with better graphics, updated mapping tools and smoother exploration. If you are looking for a very solid dungeon crawler and have encountered this series for the first time better devote yourself only to the third chapter, the most solid of the trilogy.

Played 3 for 20 min, ran into powerful enemy, squad got wiped, i lost all my progress, SHIT GAME!!!!!
