60 of 303 · most liked firstwait, so the real reason the resident evil mansion has all those traps and puzzles in it in is because this game has been a dungeon crawler this entire time? This entire time it was another work inspired by Wizardry? We have Resident Evil and Dunmeshi and Souls games because of the same game?

unlabelledView post →first up is Wizardry, probably the single most influential video game of all time. almost every game can trace part its lineage back to wizardry, and also then begin to evolve back into wizardry as they add in RPG elements, like the unkillable crab of video games:
unlabelledView post →Wizardry Daphne is a good dungeon-crawler, the devs clearly love Wizardry a lot... but it's also a gacha game. It's "free", but if you wanna dungeon-crawl old-school style without monetization & game-as-a-service drama, here's a short thread with some alternatives with a similar vibe🧵

unlabelledView post →Everyone knows Deus Ex is one of the most important games ever, so I'll use its 25th anniversary to highlight another game: CyberMage: Darklight Awakening. It's a 1995 immersive sim led by David Bradley (Wizardry V-VII), Warren Spector & Harvey Smith - a forgotten stepping stone towards Deus Ex!
unlabelledView post →more indie game devs should make dungeon crawlers like Wizardry 8 and Ultima Underworld It's a fantastic business idea, and it would make me, personally, very happy You'd sell tens of copies!

QUEST 64 !
unlabelledView post →Got a fancy new computer and a million cool games to play, but I've just been enjoying the new mobile Wizardry game lol They did a great job. This is true Wizardry - mazes, deadly battles, status effects, traps, etc... plus a storyline that adds events to dungeons, like rocklides trapping you in...

unlabelledView post →very glad the word of Dungeon Encounters is spreading. The game made for Wizardry perverts
unlabelledView post →i don’t really have much interest in gamedev but i think if i’d been around in the early 80s i’d have made millions of dollars making some bullshit spreadsheet game called Illuminar’s Returne which would nonetheless be scoffed at in computer magazines as “Wizardry for repressed homosexuals”
unlabelledView post →So I booted up Wizardry Gaiden 4 tonight because it's the last SNES entry and this game looks like a response to Japan not being huge on 6-8 but still wanting the new races and classes So they give you all the races and classes from 6 in Gaiden and then have game use Wizardry V mechanics

Some gameplay changes / rebalances, but mostly fixing bugs & adding QoL improvements from later versions, like pool/div gold.
unlabelledView post →Honestly, this is why I've enjoyed Dark & Darker than most gritty tactical extraction shooters. Because it's basically a single-character Wizardry game with PvP.

unlabelledView post →Given its prominence in Japanese CRPG otaku circles, it was inevitable that there'd be a Wizardry anime. Shochiku Fuji's Wizardry OVA, based on the first game, Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (1981), arrived a year after Lodoss War's (1990), and was probably seen as riding its coat tails.

Update: I've been farming for over ten hours. It's pretty bad, and it didn't need to be this way. You'd have to be insane to find this fun. Look at what these developers did in other regions on the PS Vita: (Link removed by me.) They're selling a low-level weapon that can be farmed on the first level of the Dungeon of Trials for the equivalent of $4.00…

The one that, especially if you're playing free, is a surprisingly hardcore and authentic Wizardry experience. And was Yoko Taro's GOTY. store.steampowered.com/app/2379740/...

unlabelledView post →Once you tinker around with the keybindings that are only available before you get into the game, you should be able to navigate this controller-designed game with ease. This is a Wizardry game (i.e. Blobber, DRPG) where you will grind (and grind) and fight your way through some sinister mazes. Luckily, there are several purchasable maps from the start in the game that will help out. While I liked doing the pen and paper mapping as a kid, I don't have the patience for it anymore. At 14…

unlabelledView post →nice visuals and sound...... extremly annoying interface , better of playing wizardry 6 or 7, or even better starcrawlers or strangers of sword city.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While not a bad game per se, I wouldn't recommend buying it, especially in 2024. It's just too uninspired. The dungeon levels, the encounters, the equipment, the races/classes... nothing stands out or gets used in a clever way. I explored 8 dungeon floors before geting bored and didn't experience a single interesting maze area or battle. I barely even got any status effects, just one or two poisons from chest traps. Wizardry 1 was released in 1981 and understood better how to use these to…

unlabelledView post →"Modern" Wizardry games are often met with criticism for one reason or another. Old grognards often shun the new anime-style artwork, while younger players often complain about the brutal difficulty. But if we are able to look past these two viewpoints, there's actually quite a lot of love about these Japanese Wizardry releases. For starters, and you can argue this all you want, but they are pretty true to the original five games in terms of design and gameplay mechanics. Yes, they are more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I was a kid I played Wizardry 5 for the snes and there was something magical about that game. The graphics were grainy and the distorted midi music chimed along in the background in that way that only dated games did but there was something compelling about it that kept me playing long into the dark hours of the night; mystery. Old dungeon crawlers always kept you guessing gave you tons of random encounters that made you feel like the game had even more things to do and explore and never…

unlabelledView post →I really wanted to love this game, i really did. I do love dungeon crawlers, but i hate when the whole difficulty of a game is based around unreasonably insane RNG. When i take my time to create a party, envision their roles and classes they have and what they will do in combat, and than the game decides that 6 levels in a row my Dwarven Warrior will lose Vitality and Strength and gain Inteligence and Piety. Sadly i cant recommend this game cause in my opinion its not a good Dungeon Crawler, if…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man, I love Wizardry and the aesthetics of this one are top notch. 6-8 are amazing and will always be in my heart, but this one is the best. Utterly addictive.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wizardry and Zork were the two very first RPGs I ever played back when I was barely old enough to read in the early 80s. I remember playing one of the Wizardry games on the NES, and Heart of the Maelstrom on the SNES, followed by Crusaders of the Dark Savant on DOS/Win95. I've never even seen another Wizardry game until this showed up on my recommended list in Steam. I saw the reviews calling it insanely hard, which seemed bizarre to me, but after seeing from the screenshots that it looked just…
