Oct. 2024

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.

the very first encounter killed my whole party edit: after over 100 hours im still on the brink of death

July 2024

Even though this game was made 20 years ago as of this writing, the game itself offers very detailed customization and character creation. The story holds up as an interesting development and the combat is full of tactics. If you love RPGs then this is a historic gem.

July 2024

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.

June 2024

Don't Buy this if you have macOS Sonoma, This Game is NOT a 64 Bit Application as it Advertises, and Does not work... so i am Unable to Play it at all. Looks Fun Though, if only i could get it to launch.
