The demo that is available in the Nintendo 3DS eShop is the perfect beginning for this story. After you download the demo and start playing, you embark in a world that is so gorgeous and with the 3D effect of the 3DS the environment becomes even more pretty.
At this point, the title screen shows you a wonderful view of what you can see in the game, and when you start a new game you have two possibilities: you can play the great story that the game tells
Now that you are in the game, the gorgeous animations that welcome you show up, and with that the story itself follows. You can see after the cut-scene the classic appearance for an Etrian Odyssey game. The characters have a really nice look, as always in a EO games, and they invite you to want to see more of the art. EO 4 came with an art book because it is beautiful.
The game itself, as I mentioned before, is a crawling-RPG, and the thing that make this game so unique is that you have to draw almost all the map in the dungeon that you are exploring. That's exactly the first mission the game give to you: in the entrance of the Yggdrasil Forest, you have to draw a part of the map
The Demo continue until you reach level 10, so it depends on you how long is going to be the story.
