Scalpel? Check. Bandages? Check. Magic? Presenting: Etrian Mystery Dungeon's Medic - 3DS

Deciding to take the Medic along with you in Etrian Mystery Dungeon? Good, first smart decision you've made all day. Know what wasn't smart? Putting your Runemaster up against a Furyhorn because you thought "he could take it." Now we're minus one gunner and you've left me with the option of either healing the Protector to keep them alive so the roomful of enemies stays off the rest of the party or unbinding and de-poisoning the Landsknecht so we can possibly kill an enemy and live to see tomorrow.

The Medic's party role in Etrian Mystery Dungeon is constantly filled with life or death decisions, so do your best to make it easier on them by being a conscientious explorer.

Yes, they can revive and heal your party members. And yes, they can even do some neat attacks of their own. But this does not mean you can toss people around just because you have a Medic. Keep your Runemasters in back, keep your Landsknechts up front, and pray that the Protector still has enough TP to provoke enemies.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon is the roguelike RPG from Atlus and Spike Chunsoft that combines the character classes and skill trees of the Etrian Odyssey series with the roguelike nature and exploration of the Mystery Dungeon series in a tense, near-infinite dungeon exploring/looting adventure for the Nintendo 3DS. Available beginning April 7, pre-orders and a limited first-run printing of the game will include a bonus soundtrack CD and the "Sights & Sounds of Mystery" art book!

Available in the launch edition of Etrian Mystery Dungeon on Nintendo 3DS, the Sights & Sounds of Mystery bonus is a special prize reserved only for the most impassioned of explorers. Secure your ownership of the North American-exclusive collectible outer box that contains a limited edition CD-book package. The Rough Sketch Ver. soundtrack CD contains six "rough" versions of the musical themes found in Etrian Mystery Dungeon. The 28-page book contains art and information to aid you in cultivating the best party to help you triumph inside the mystery dungeons.
