Topic | What is the 2nd or 3rd best Wizardy-style game? |
BlackMageJawa 10/25/24 3:21:09 PM #3: | Is there anything specific you're looking for beyond 'first person grid-based dungeon crawler'? For something that's a bit like the modern Japanese Wizardry games, look at Mary Skelter 2 (which includes a remake of the first game, but the devs recommend playing 2 first). It does have a plot and fixed characters. For something like old-school Wizardry (that holds to the motto that QOL features are for weaklings), maybe Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar. Haven't played this one myself, but by all accounts it's brutal. Alternatively, the Etrian Odyssey series is a bit more player friendly, and optionally has a plot if you play the remakes of 1&2. The remaster of Bard's Tale Trilogy is also pretty good- the originals are of an age with the original Wizardries, but the remaster cleans it up nicely with decent presentation and (optional) QOL features to make it actually playable. For something with real-time combat, Legend of Grimrock and its sequel are fantastic. --- The shattered stage is set and there's a role you must fulfil ... Copied to Clipboard! |
