Etrian Odyssey is a dungeon crawler in the vein of Wizardry, which aside from being a major competitor to early 80s RPG king the Ultima series, was also massively influential in Japan (basically jRPGs owe most of their existence to Wizardry's popularity in the East -- scroll down to the bottom here for a breakdown.) Wizardry is legendary for its difficulty, and Etrian Odyssey, in its devotion to being a love letter to that franchise and the era in general, is also quite difficult.

(As a site note, you can also see the influence of Wizardry in games like From Software's King's Field and later the Dark Souls series. Basically Wizardry was as influential in Japan as Final Fantasy was in the US.)

No problem! I've done a bunch of research on vintage RPGs and the like recently so it's still pretty fresh in my head :)
