About this game

Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City is a role-playing game in the Japanese style.

The heretofore advanced city of Armoroad has been, for the half of it, submerged by the sea; venturers and wanderers from far and near places come to adventure into the intricate labyrinths lying in the underground to unveil the mystery and reach the mythical Yggdrasil Tree.

The city is where the guild makes preparations and organizes for exploration.* There is the inn where adventurers can restore health, store and reclaim items and save the game The firm wherein to purchase weapons, armours, shields, helmets, gauntlets, accessories and items, forge weapons and change the party's equipment The bistro, a meeting-place where to gather information and accept quests from townsfolk The explorers guild where new adventurers can be found and members can rest, leave or retire The Inver Port, wherefrom to set sail embarking on any kind of sea quest, barter with other gamers The Senatus, where the main events of the story take place Dungeons are travelled across in a first-person view.

When foes are engaged in combat, they are displayed on the upper screen, together with small rectangles showing the health and tech points of each of the members of the group.

Issued commands are resolved in turns.

None of the player's characters is ever displayed.

The lower screen permanently displays the labyrinth map: although auto-mapping is a permitted option, manual cartography is a fundamental element of gameplay: by use of the stylus, the player can draw level layouts, while taking note of things found, seen, run into, etc.

The guild may be joined by adventurers of the following classes: prince/princess, gladiator, hoplite, buccaneer, ninja, monk, zodiac, wildling, arbalist, farmer, and possibly some secret others.

Each class has an assortment of skills they can learn and master.

When a character level goes up one skill point is gained, allowing choice over which skills to develop and to what degree.

About Nintendo DS

The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.

Gamevaro tracks Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2010.
