Etrian Odyssey 5 Review (3DS)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 гру 2022
- We finally arrive at the fifth and last numbered entry of this dungeon crawling series so far. So far all four past entries have brought something new to the table, and they've all been quite enjoyable. Can the same be said about Etrian Odyssey 5? We'll see in this review.
Massive thanks to Huckebein for information on the series over Discord. And Fuchsia for finding and isolating that image of Lina holding up the meat that I vaguely described I was looking for.

We gotta keep this hype so that they can do a switch EO game. Hopefully somedayyyy
So happy you got to 5. This is one of the best RPGs I've played. I played a couple other EO games before, but when I got to this, I was like, "this is the start of a new era for EO-and maybe dungeon crawlers at large!!" I was wrong, of course...
Thanks for keeping the etrian community alive
Awesome review! EO5 was my introduction to the series and still my favorite. Love the little flourishes that elevate the feeling of adventure, like the dungeon events and cooking. It's also nice how the different racial skills aid in roleplay, loved making my murderous Harbinger (actually a softie) the one responsible for animal care.
Oi, Jenetta's voice acting is peak perfection!
Absolutely excited that you came this far and have covered all the mainline series. These are always a set of videos I come back to due to my love for the series.
I absolutely love 5. My favourites rotate around 3, 2U and 5 half the time. So glad to have followed this review series.
"Iorys" is a bad corruption of "Aeolus". This game has a lot of weird localization quirks where it's clear that the localizers did not understand what the original material was referencing.
Despite the questionable voice over, Etrian Odyssey 5 is probably my favorite entry in the series. I agree with most of the points you raised. The first playthrough is pretty rough since you won’t know about advanced classes and building your team around them half way down a playthrough and how difficult the bosses are. Glad you were able to play it as well, albeit not on original hardware.
I'd never even heard of Etrian Odyssey until I found your video, now here I am already finished watching the last 4 Etrian Odyssey videos and starting on this one while writing this comment.
Love that SOMEONE is out here making these etrian odyssey reviews. Loved all of them so far!
Man I'm super grateful that you made a review for each numbered series. Dope stuff man thank you and congrats!
Advanced classes is an idea i love because it allows for a great Conceptual difficulty (conceptual difficulty is the knowledge and information you have to handle in a game) increase without overwhelming new players with future options. They also make classes very distinct in a way that i prefer to subclassing: and with subclassing you have to balance it in a very different way, while with advanced classes you can make some super powerful abilities that would be broken in sublasses.
Been looking forward to this review all week! Currently in the 5th stratum of EO3, which I’m playing largely due to your reviews getting me interested in the series. Can’t wait to get to the 3DS entries. They look like they smooth out a lot of the rougher edges that I’ve had to learn to live with in 3. I’ve been really enjoying the game and I’ve enjoyed all your videos on the series! Yours is probably the best EO content on the whole of English speaking UA-cam.
Loved this review. 5 always stands out with the 10 new classes and no reused enemies. It was so nice after the untolds to get something completely new.
I thoroughly enjoy your reviews on the EO series. Also, Slayers is probably my favorite anime of all time.
The best game in the series, I would say. Nexus has more content, but V is more focused, and the number of options is still very large (even when removing bad race/class combos). I love the music, the classes, the world design, the encounters... heck, I even love the voice acting! The main drawback of the game is that it kinda peaks in 3rd Stratum, so it kinda loses steam with the 4th. Still an absolutely amazing game, with lots of synergies to think about. Sad to see the series disappear, with the 3DS eshop closing down soon, and no news... :(
I really love your reviews and I know you said you wouldnt do Untold but I really hope you would reconsider reviewing them. And especially Nexus. I've been looking forward to all of your EO vidoe and it just sucks that we wouldnt have more. XD
Yeah ! Thank you so much for your work on one of my favorite series 🤗
aye was waiting for this haha, looked forward to all of your etrian odyssey reviews
