Who all is playing Etrian Odyssey HD? (self.gaming)

I'm working my way through EO1 with a LTM/AA party. Just snuck past the wyren in the 2nd stratum. I've played these games before when they first came out, but really enjoying them more now.

The QoL stuff that has been added (speeding up animations, a sensible skill tree display, and having the bestiary available in combat) make big differences to me. The later has made a party focused on elemental attacks more enjoyable.

The mapping as been surprisingly not painful. It was definitely more enjoyable on the DS, but it isn't terrible on switch (even docked).

I'm really hoping this is a sign that the series may one day get a new entry (or a spiritual successor).

I’ve just started playing Etrian Odyssey 1 and been liking it a whole bunch. And have ignited a general interest in this genre of games, I normally play lots of different Traditional Roguelikes (not lite) and find many of the game mechanics the same / interesting.

Does any have recommendations for other First-person Dungeon Crawlers?

Been looking into the original Wizardry series and new game in early access: Wizardry: The Five Ordeals.

Legend of Grimrock was fun! I'd recommend that one, it had a neat aesthetic. Game was tough though, so prepare yourself :)
