‘Etrian Mystery Dungeon’ Coming To The U.S. In Spring 2015!

It looks like it’s Etrian Odyssey’s turn to get the Mystery Dungeon treatment.

In a somewhat meta announcement, Atlus announced that Etrain Dungeon will be making its Western debut in Spring 2015! This dungeon crawling RPG spinoff of a dungeon crawling RPG will feature all of the customization, loot gathering and monster slaying you would expect from one of the core games in the series, but with the top down perspective, randomly generated dungeons, and party building that comes with any game with Mystery Dungeon in the title.

This is great news for fans of both series, especially when games of this nature are far from a sure thing when getting localized. Everything from Chocobos to Pokemon have received similar treatment in various forms, and not even huge franchises like those have had every Dungeon game brought over. So needless to say, this announcement will be like Christmas come early for some.

Take a look at the details from the official press release below, then let us know what game you hope gets the Dungeon treatment in the comments!

Main features in Etrian Mystery Dungeon include:
Infinite Dungeons to Explore – Etrian Mystery Dungeon incorporates the random map feature, which changes the floor terrain each time a player enters the dungeon. This core mechanic, inherited from the Mystery Dungeon series, challenges the players with a new maze and stronger monsters every time, offering them unlimited replayability!
Attention to Detail – The Etrian Odyssey tradition of party customization is in full effect for Etrian Mystery Dungeon. After the first journey as a Landsknecht, players can freely choose their party of 4 from up to 10 different class types. While each class has a unique skill set of its own, characters can also unlock new skills through skill trees.
Not Your Grandfather’s Combat – The unique perspective in Etrian Mystery Dungeon means that special care will have to be given when selecting party members and upgrading their abilities. With dungeons chock full of enemies and all the loot and money collected at stake, being 100 percent certain in your party’s abilities is crucial for making it out alive.
