Far off in the mountains, the small village Aslarga becomes a hub for adventurers looking for fame and fortune from the Mystery Dungeons. But dire challenges await even the most stalwart adventurers in Etrian Mystery Dungeon

There's no hand-holding in Etrian Mystery Dungeon. The action/turn based combat means that battling monsters is not just about using the right skills, but becomes an elegant Pas de Quatre of strategic positioning. Players form their parties with familiar Etrian Odyssey classes, such as Landsknecht and Runemaster, customize individuals using Etrian-style skill trees, and then take up to four members into the dungeons. Always randomized with various levels and paths, the dungeons require plenty of exploration, not to mention the incredible loot rewards -- just be wary of what waits among the deepest depths... 

In Etrian Mystery Dungeon, there are two kinds of monsters: There are those who don't mess with Hexers, and there are those that do. Those that don't go on to live their happy little monster lives with their happy little families in their happy little forests. But those that do... well... those that do go on to wish they didn't, living out the rest of their very short lives in despair and agony, forever cursed. And you know what I tell them? I tell them that if someone was walking toward me in a dark cloak with crazy eyes and a cursing chime hanging around their neck, that I WOULDN'T TOUCH THEM WITH A TEN FOOT POLE.

You see, a Hexer is someone who doesn't appreciate being looked at funny. A Hexer is the type of person who can cast a Cranial Curse on you and not even blink. Don't get me wrong, they're among the greatest of allies. But for them, flinging hexes and curses that debuff, poison, and bind their enemies' limbs is what they love. You know how your Mom always tells you to turn your passion into a career? Well, their Moms did, too. And you'll be glad they did when you're walking through rooms littered with bodies felled by your Hexer's hand.

Key Features:

• 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.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon, rated E10+, will be available in stores and on the Nintendo eShop for $39.99.
