On the subject of games that no one will ever hear about comes Etrian Odyssey, a very very old school style dungeon crawler RPG that comes to us for the DS from Atlus. The reason I very much like Etrian Odyssey so much is the fact that it really is just an updated old school Wizardry/Bard's Tale/etc. style RPG, the kind where you had to map out your path and note locations. The fun part is, that's what the bottom screen on the DS is for, so you can carry all your maps and notes around with you.
Etrian Odyssey also has a great development team, including: Direction by Kazuya Niinou (Trauma Center: Under the Knife), story design by Shigeo Komori (Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner), and sound design by Yuzo Koshiro (Actraiser, Streets of Rage) [Thank you eb "I will consume all independent retailers" games.com for that little blurb, cause I'm too lazy to type all that out myself]. If you've got some time to spare this summer and are sick of the almighty narrative movie, I highly recommend checking it out.
Just a few words of warning, think RPG, think 80's, think text heavy and not as very graphic intensive, don't expect *too much character development as this is the epitome of the RPG character, you. Sorry to gaming blog Verbal Spew for ripping off that title graphic, but it was too damn cool. Check out their site~
