Wizardry Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls - now available on PC

[biggestboss]

Is this game good?

It's to do with the ninja model specifically. I don't pretend to understand the ins and outs of it, but something in that model totally breaks if you use a render other than software and the game slows to an absolute crawl. Apart from that it performs fine.

Playing Demon's Souls at 120 FPS and there are still some PS2 games that chug like a mofo >

 

[Reinhardt]

I don't remember it being slow. I remember that everyone i meet is dead or dying.

 

[aweigh]

The moody atmosphere in Forsaken Land is fantastic, for sure.

bought it, blobber ports need all the support

 

[SkiNNyBane]

I don't get the appeal of this shit. This seems like a braindead game within braindead genre i dunno. Maybe I'll try one of the classics at some points and it will change my mind but holy shit every blobber I try is like playing early prototypes of people experimenting with 3d engines with severe limitations. They feel like what text adventures are to fallout but for jrpgs.

Is it that good to be more expensive than Elminage: Gothic?

IIRC Elminage: Gothic launched at $19.99, then the price was severely cut down and then (?) the game became dirt cheap due to severe discounts.

Last time I checked, I had the impression it didn't help their sales figures much, if at all.

yeah, I think blobbers or dungeon crawlers are long-tail earners, discounts don't help as the people who play them usually have money and are willing to pay for them, and not enough people buy them even at big discounts, since it's not the type of game lots of people like anyway

I had created an Steam account just to buy Elminage back when it was announced to release on Steam. It was worth every cent.
First game I bought:

 

[Roguey]

Any other monsters like this?

 

[Filthy Sauce]

WTF LOL did you take that screencap off your phone?! Also.. You're wall colors are gay... but you are Roguey...

taking photo of game instead of screenshot should be a crime on pc. even consoles can take screenshot nowadays

 

[Viata]

He was too busy masturbating to even decide if he should take a photo or a screenshot.

 

[biggestboss]

Just bought the game. Not sure if I'll ever install it though.

Is there controller support?

It's a console port, so yes

 

[Matador]

Classic Wizardry plays great on controller, the best along keyboard only. Mouse slows you down a lot.

I asked if there were any more like it, I obviously don't own it. I found this picture from a thread in another forum made back in 2011.

 

[Modron]

Yeah, Roguey lives in an aluminum shack somewhere in the everglades.

 

[Casual Hero]

Downloading it right now. I still need to play the Elminages, but something about seeing the name "Wizardry" is very appealing.

Also, I had a bad feeling about what the GOG reviews were going to be, and sure enough there are a few IDIOTIC 1 star reviews.
These GOG reviews are just a bunch of old men saying that this is "not their Wizardry". Okay.

 

[Removal]

"not their Wizardry"

combination of "muh anime" and this is more like Wiz 1-3 and not Dark Savant
probably mostly "muh anime"

 

[Grauken]

The wall graphics in the first dungeon aren't great, black and white wireframe would be an improvement

 

[cocorulverde]

I know this is the last place where I should ask this, but what the Hell ... does it have an automap?

now bring it on.

Buy a map in the shop, then yes

 

[Latro]

The whole game sadly looks like fucking ass.

Same goes with Elminage, and all those other lifeless, 1-frame 2D sprites against bland 3D hallway blobbers. You either go full 3D like Forsaken Lands or Grimock, or stay completely 2D with lower resolution sprites (animated) and envionrments like Wiz 7.
