Nintendojo: Given the number of entries released on both DS and 3DS, plenty of gamers will be familiar with both the Etrian Odyssey and Mystery Dungeon franchises, even if the latter is best known for its Pokémon crossovers. While the core mechanics of each series greatly differ, they both draw inspiration from old-school takes on the RPG genre that placed their emphasis on dungeon diving, strategic planning, and a high level of difficulty. Both franchises have earned respectable fanbases who appreciate this approach to game design. Now, Atlus has taken these two series and put them in a blender to create Etrian Mystery Dungeon.

DTOID: Mashups are often born purely for fanservice-related reasons, and as you can probably guess, the results are mixed. For instance, it would be tough for an RPG developer to make an action game based on two different puzzle properties, but odder mixes have been done in the past. With Etrian Mystery Dungeon, it feels like a match made in heaven. Spike Chunsoft and Atlus have been making RPGs for what seems like a lifetime, and Etrian Odyssey is basically a Mystery title already.

GB: Atlus surprised the role-playing world last year with the announcement of a crossover 3DS game that would have the worlds of the companys own Etrian Odyssey 3D dungeon-crawler franchise mixing with Spike Chunsofts randomized roguelike series, Mystery Dungeon. Both franchises have cult followings, both are combat heavy, and both are known for being challenging. While the news of this union was certainly exciting for fans, no one knew exactly what to expect.

GT: Coming off the recent Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth genre mashup, the Etrian Odyssey series is again venturing outside its first-person dungeon-crawling roots with Etrian Mystery Dungeon, which takes the Etrian world and slaps it onto the ancient rogue-like RPG game structure. While Persona Q transported the Persona series into the Etrian gameplay model, the Etrian world, this time, is the star, and the result is a game that, for the right audience, could contain a lifetime's worth of fun. For a lot of others, though, it proves to be an archaic RPG experience that touts the genre's early tropes as selling points, not the obstacles to fun that they sometimes end up being. Rogue-like fans, Etrian fans and Mystery Dungeon fans are the big winners here, but more casual RPG fans may also see this extremely deep old school RPG as more than the sum of its aging parts. Finding myself as part of at least three of those four groups, I'm still somewhat undecided on how well Etrian My...

GI: The Etrian Odyssey series has kept the sometimes-forgotten pure dungeon crawl alive and well on the 3DS, and has begun to mix things up by bringing its classic core into interesting franchise mashups such as Persona Q. This time around, the flavors get mixed up with the Mystery Dungeon series for a new tactical take on Etrian Odyssey, now with with roguelike elements and unpredictability from floor to floor of sprawling dungeons.

HD: The Etrian Odyssey series has gained a lot of traction since the 3DS's release. What began as a rather niche dungeon crawling series for the Nintendo DS suddenly gained a good deal of exposure with its first 3DS entry, 'Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan'. Since then, remakes of the first two games in the series have been announced (with the first one already released), and a crossover with Atlus' Persona series in 'Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth' introduced an even wider audience to the series' brutally difficult, but addicting dungeon crawling style.
