Item Description

A century ago, an earthquake swallowed the heart of the sea city of Armoroad, and a labyrinth opened in the hole it left behind. Adventurers have been descending ever since in search of the sunken city and the lost technology it may hold. Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City, the third entry in Atlus's first-person dungeon-crawling series, sends your guild down into that labyrinth and, for the first time in the series, out across the open sea as well.

The dual-screen design that made the series famous is fully intact. As you push through the labyrinth floor by floor, you draw your own map on the touch screen, marking walls, doors, shortcuts, treasure and the roaming FOEs, powerful monsters you can see coming and would be wise to avoid. Careless cartography can strand a tired party far from the exit, which is exactly why every finished map feels earned. Yuji Himukai's elegant character art and a layered, atmospheric Yuzo Koshiro soundtrack give the descent its haunting mood.

Party building is where The Drowned City gets serious. All twelve classes are new, from the shield-bearing Hoplite and the sword-and-pistol Buccaneer to the elemental Zodiac, the stealthy Ninja, the support-minded Prince and Princess and the humble but surprisingly useful Farmer, with the mechanical Yggdroid waiting to be unlocked. Partway through, the subclass system lets each adventurer take on most of a second class's skills, turning a guild of up to thirty characters into a sandbox where a five-member party can look completely different from one playthrough to the next.

Between dives, you set sail. Provisions limit how far your ship can travel, pirate ships prowl the waves and can sink you on contact, and reaching distant ports restores Armoroad's old trade routes and opens sea quests against unique monsters. Deeper in the labyrinth, the story eventually forces a choice of allegiance that shapes how the adventure ends. Many longtime fans point to The Drowned City as the high-water mark of the series, and while it was remastered in HD in 2023, the DS original is where the stylus-drawn maps feel most natural, exactly as the game was designed to be played.
