Despite me having the rockiest start I possibly could have had, Etrian Mystery Dungeon amazes me with how little tolerance it has for mistakes, and I enjoy it all the more for it.
Encountering and fighting off D.O.E.s is high-risk business, and I love how the risks and rewards work so seamlessly with the existing Mystery Dungeon mechanics.
For the first time, I feel like I am playing a Pokémon game that belongs to a universe rather than isolated events that happen and stay in one region or time point.
The Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire demo opens with Steven and you (preset to the male protagonist, named Orlando) flying on Latios. He swoops down into the world, and things kick off from there.
Because of the writing and several other factors, I feel like extra attention was paid to not only making the world of Unlimited World Red look like Eiichirou Oda’s world, but also to make it feel like it.
