Outstanding game, great amount of choices for upgrading your characters. Was a surprise to me how awesome this game is and what a nice job Nightdive Studios did with it. You can not find a better place to spend $1.49 on sale any where!! I like the talking characters which adds a touch of realism. D & D type goodness enough said.

Honestly one of the best games/rpg's ever made. I remember loving it at release, but I don't think i appreciated it as much back then because I just thought games were getting better & better, that they would keep on improving. I had no idea that this was the peak of the genre until 23+ years later, and it feeling revolutionary compared to all the slop games developers make these days. I wish a developer could get Wiz 6 & 7 into this engine, Or that Wiz 9 was made with this games system as the base.

If you're going to check out one of the old Wizardry games, then this is where to start. After trying to replay 6 and 7, they are just too old and annoying. But Wizardry 8 has a 20x better UI while still retaining the core gameplay experience.
