Well it is Etrian Odyssey. You should expect the sudden difficulty spike.

*Will Fire Emblem truly be Warriors?
Etrian Odyssey games are great but require a lot of time to sink in. I'm currently tied up in Monster Hunter Stories (and will be indefinitely if we get the 1.2 and 1.3 content updates here in the states). But I'll still pick EO5 up so I can play it at some point.
Re: the first boss (the Golem)
The key to this fight is the switches that raise up those single-tile walls – there are two switches, one by the entrance to the floor and one to the right of the Boss' room that, when toggled, will put up walls in the Boss Room itself and stop 4 of the 6 reinforcement golems from ever joining the fight!
This means that he cannot constantly rebuild and spam his Explosion attack, and you're also enduring a LOT fewer attacks from the little colored golems while he's rebuilding himself. I think I had to deal with like, 4 explosions through the whole fight because he was only getting 2 golems to reinforce every 8 rounds or so instead of a steady stream of them like you get if all 6 spawn points are pouring out golems.
You know some of the stratum bosses have things to make them easier. Like the first boss there are small enemies that walk to you and join the battle you can turn the stone statues to block 4 of the 6 mini golems so you only have to deal with the main boss and the 2 that can still reach you. Not all bosses have that. But pay attention because some bosses do.
Just got my Samus returns from your give away thanks again Gammalad!
After playing (And not even yet completing the first floor) and hearing your experience with the difficulty spikes, I'm feeling better about this game than I even was before (and I was psyched even before). This is a return to the ORIGINAL Etrian Odyssey difficulty level. I've loved every single installment of the series, but only the first (and now this one) had that level of challenge. You weren't doing anything wrong, getting by the boss by the skin of your teeth is EXACTLY what's supposed to happen. You KNOW the deck is stacked against you, but you win anyway, and it feels amazing.
I was going to buy this game till I realized it had zero character animations, which is a big turn away for me.
Definitely not worth 40 dollars to me
this is my first time playing a EO game but man do i love playing this game
Seeing those half-finished maps on your lower screen almost drives me insane. Great review though, can't wait for the game to be released here in Europe this Friday.
The first boss can be tricky. You need to keep him from reforming himself, or else your party is done for.
Great Review! I envy gamers who like the battle system, caz the game looks very nice. I couldnt get into it.
combat looks rather boring.. not sure why you can't see your characters attack, and the skill animations are sub par at best.
I want to love this games… But the genre is not my Cup of Tea…
The first time I played the demo I was getting f*cked up by sentient acorns with eyes and legs but now since I know how to use my skills correctly and grind, I'm doing very well (Probably because I played on casual)
Ive never played this series before. I only have $40 should i get this or an earlier game in the series?
Luv the art but the gameplay is so dull and boring looking like most games in this sub genre
Punishing difficulty and lack of storytelling. This series was the Dark Souls before Dark Souls.
>compliments the game throughout the video
>says almost nothing bad about it
>gives it a 8.5/10 because of "weird difficulty spikes" which are not weird, and are expected in a game that is literally about being difficult.
You ruined your own great review.
looks like a first person turn based pokemon mystery dungeon to me lol
Argh, I an't handle how you map the floors! It's so half-arsed… I've gotta go look at my perfectly ordered bookcase to calm me down…
WTF is this resolution, is this a GBA game? So fking crappy.
Persona q
From looking at the game play this game travels like a God damn Google Map. Ill pass!
almost like Persona Q
Gammalad being pretty whiny complaining that a dungeon crawler RPG game like Etrian being "difficult". It has nothing to do with skills. The Etrian games are supposed to a little tough on purpose. That show they were made.
I really don't like that they replaced the incredible 2d art with 3d models for the enemies.
Changing classes doesn’t reset your level by 5 in this game. It’s by 2. I thought if you played it, you would have known that
dark souls turn base rpg
I played persona q, untold millennium girl and now I'm playing eo 4. Persona q and millennium girl felt really good but eo 4 is a massive grind. I advance a little in the maze and have to go back to the city to heal. I'm in the third land (I'm assuming I'm still far from the end) and I'm already burn out from the game. Is 5 or nexus better than 4 in this regard of grinding?
A
AWESOME
Sounds like the 1st main boss & stratum/dungeon in EO5 has SMT4-Minotaur-itis.
