Our take on Etrian Odyssey II HD
Instead of centering one hero's journey, the game makes party construction part of the adventure's structure. Choosing from twelve classes shapes the expedition, while the ascent through Yggdrasil provides the route through the setting and its mystery.

Travel to High Lagaard, a castle suspended above the clouds, while its inhabitants descend toward the land after the seas claim the remaining islands.
Form a group using twelve hero types and lead them through the enormous Yggdrasil tree toward the sky.
