related ramble: genuinely if the part of decked out that appeals to you is "incremental progress in which the players must learn the map bit by little bit and also understand when to turn around and bail to learn more of the map later in another run", you don't mind games that are hard, and you like rpgs. please play etrian odyssey. please they're such good games and no one ever talks about them. please,

#they're largely ds and 3ds games HOWEVER the first 3 were remastered for switch! making them EVEN MORE ACCESSIBLE! #i will warn you the games are slightly notoriously punishing but the recent remasters DO add difficulty settings #which means you can avoid some of the more notoriously punishing aspects #AND THE ART STYLE IS SO GOOD. AND THE /MUSIC/ #the aesthetics of etrian odyssey are some of my favorite video game aesthetics they're so NICE #so i am now using my 10k followers to try to convince One Other Person to play my pet rpg series. #my one warning is that if you play rpgs for the story. etrian odyssey expects you to make up a lot of the characters in your head #and tells you the bare bones of a story in second person #which isn't to say that's BAD; it's really good i get attached to my party of five ocs really fast #it's just if you're used to jrpgs you WILL go in and go 'wehre. is the plot.' #its there! the games just expect you to make up much of it! and it's great! #my point is: if you're going 'huh i might like dungeon crawlers' CHECK THEM OUT
