Atlus and Spike Chunsoft are announcing their roguelike dungeon-crawling RPG, Etrian Mystery Dungeon, will be released in North America.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon features an infinite number of dungeons to explore as maps are randomly generated as each floor will offer a completely new layout as well as challenging the player with a new maze and stronger monsters with each new level. The Etrian Odyssey tradition of party customization will be available in this title as players can choose their party of four from up to 10 different class types, each of which can unlock new skills through skill trees.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon will launch exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS in spring 2015 and will be available at retail and on the Nintendo eShop for $39.99.

I’m a fan of rougelike games and Etrian Odyssey provided some real challenging gameplay mechanics, so seeing something like Etrian Mystery Dungeon has really piqued my curiosity. Now to only wait until spring 2015 to see how it all plays out.
