Wizardry 8 User Review

keithburgun

Yet another forgotten, under-rated RPG that had the substance but didn't have the marketing.

The Bottom Line:
"Instant classic"
This game is great. Awesome turn-based strategy combat, innovative party system, great character creation system with TONS of races and classes to pick from, also you can multiclass... it's just a lot of fun. It's a bit more linear than a fan of Fallout or Arcanum may be used to, but it's fun all the time. This game was made in the spirit of those great CRPGs who actually try to make a convincing world that you can interact with. Note that the bad side of this game is that the combat can be slow and tedious sometimes, like when you're fighting 10 little insects and eahc of their turns takes like 10 seconds, it takes awhile to get it going.

But definitely check out Wizardry 8 if you like turn-based RPGs.
