Is a hidden gem in the dungeon-crawling RPG genre, offering a deeply immersive and challenging experience for fans of classic turn-based combat. The game masterfully blends strategic battles, intricate dungeon exploration, and a compelling storyline set in a dark and mysterious world.
This is easily one of my favorite titles on the PS2 I first played it completely blind and its always stuck with me as an incredibly atmospheric, charming, and funny experience. For my first ever wizardry title I was surprised at how well balanced yet intense the game could get, i never felt like it was easy but I never felt being pushed too hard, the "Allied Actions "mechanic is honestly alot of fun to mess around with and I'd love to see it be used in other rpgs :D the game has a simple but very well executed story and the art direction is top notch! I love the designs of all the monsters and people you come across, everything feels crafted and well loved. it remains a hidden gem and i genuinely wish it got more recognition in the rpg scene. <3
I'm an old timer been playing since the original nes. This was the first wizardry game I'd ever played and I absolutely fell in love with it!! I'd heard of wizardry and tried a few out but for some reason this one really sticks with me. I actually beat it for the first time ever about a month ago. I had it on ps2 and had never really finished it because I got distracted by other games again and again, but now that I'm 41 I've slowed down and took the journey start to finish this time and just wow!! The characters I have grown to love all have such amazing stories and the main story once you get closer to the end really got to me!! I want to.be able to play this again and again til I'm old and gray😂 this for me is one of my all time favorites I rank it up there with dragon quest 8 chrono trigger and final fantasy 1 and 7 all of which are some of my all time favorites!
