Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan (Japanese: 世界樹の迷宮IV 伝承の巨神 Labyrinth of the World Tree IV: Great God of Legend) is a dungeon-crawler RPG for the Nintendo 3DS, released in Japan in July 2012, and internationally in 2013. It is the first of five games and four spinoffs in the series released for the Nintendo 3DS.
Story
Gameplay
In common with previous games in the series, in Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan, you can create a team with up to five characters to use as you progress through the game. The main gameplay consists of fighting monsters and mapping out each area as you progress with optional quests and items that you can find.
Changes
Similar to some of the changes in Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City, this game expands upon exploring outside of the main labyrinth and has an overworld that can be explored in a skyship and has multiple unique navigational challenges which add puzzle-solving elements to overworld exploration.
For the first time in this series, all monsters are now animated 3D models with designs comparable to the released artwork with FOEs and bosses presented as 3D models in the overworld in this game. Additionally there is no single labyrinth in this game as it is split up into multiple parts in the overworld with caves acting as additional areas of exploration within a given area. The music in this game is also fully orchestrated and no longer uses FM synthesis.
