About Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City
Off tranquil ocean shores, far below the surface of the sea, the
city of Armoroad bears a secret. Rumor suggests that this
coastal metropolis is less than it once was; much of it, they
whisper, was lost to the unforgiving waters. Will you assemble
and train a team of explorers to uncover once and for all what
really lies beneath, or will you succumb to the innumerable
dangers hidden in the abyssal depths?
Key Features
* Create your unique team -- A system of 10
new classes and sub-classes and a wealth of proprietary skills
make developing the optimal party absorbing, tactical, and
rewarding. A maximum of 30 possible member slots provide plenty
of room to experiment. You decide where to apply members' skill
points: will you invest in sword mastery or learn a new healing
spell?
* Live and die by your map(-making) -- When danger lurks around
every corner, it is imperative to keep track of where you have
been and what you found there. The streamlined map maker lets
you draw paths, paint in terrain, and drag and drop icons. Watch
the map grow bigger and more detailed under your hands as you
capture every door, map, set of stairs, and secret pathway.
* Adventure in the high seas -- The ocean becomes a new stage
for exploration as you take to the city of Armoroad to uncover
the secret of why half of this once vibrant and technologically
advanced metropolis sunk below the waves. Sail your ship, chart
the ocean map, sink enemy vessels, and take on seagoing FOEs on
your way to playing out one of three possible endings.
* Wirelessly share with friends -- Up to 5 friends can team up
in special combat challenges over a local wireless connection to
take down the toughest monsters living in the ocean. Additional
options let you wirelessly trade items.
