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.
