Etrian Odyssey and Mystery Dungeon - First Details

The debut details from the Etrian Odyssey and Mystery Dungeon cross-over have emerged.

The recently announced Etrian Odyssey and the Mystery Dungeon is a collaboration between developers Atlus and Spike Chunsoft, bringing the fan-favourite first person RPG into the rougelike dungeon-crawler experience, with a release date set for 5th March in Japan.

In Etrian Odyssey and the Mystery Dungeon, players forge parties of custom characters with jobs, bringing these folk into randomly generated dungeons. Only the leader in this instance is controlled by the player, with the remaining members of the group dishing damage independently.

The game will, like past Mystery Dungeon titles, feature a grid-based map system, with players taking it in turns to perform actions. The dungeons themselves will also grow bigger as players progress through the game.

What do you think of the concept so far?
