Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City is a first-person dungeon-crawling RPG developed by Atlus, released in 2009. Players assemble a party of custom characters and navigate through deep dungeons in a submerged civilization, mapping the terrain by hand as they explore. Combat occurs turn-by-turn against monsters encountered while traversing the labyrinth. The game features multiple character classes with distinct abilities, requiring strategic party composition for different challenges. A core mechanic involves sketching the dungeon layout on the bottom screen, marking walls, chests, and hazards as you progress. The adventure spans multiple layers with increasingly difficult encounters. Character progression through experience points and equipment upgrades drives the campaign forward. The game blends exploration, tactical combat, and dungeon design into a cohesive experience.
