Message: [QUOTE="Raziya The Seeker, post: 128208, member: 149867"] If you're aiming for Wizardry, might I suggest Labyrinth of Lost Souls? That was my entry point to the more old-school-styled ones, compared to ones like Wizardry 8. LoLS was pretty zen to play, easier to grasp with a more straightforward dungeon design, and is a bit more forgiving than others. I'd also suggest the recent remake of the original Wizardry, Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, because it has a lot of accessibility and difficulty settings you can fiddle with. Otherwise, I doubly suggest later Etrian Odyssey games. 3's my favorite of the original trilogy, and 4 onward also have difficulty settings one can fiddle with to make the experience more forgiving for newbies. The Dark Spire is also a lot of fun and aesthetic as all get out, combining old with new in terms of that classic Wizardry experience. Otherwise... I dunno, the original Phantasy Star is also a first-person dungeon crawler for its dungeon design. Otherwise it plays like a JRPG for its mechanics, and it's quite fun. I've yet to play Shining in the Darkness, but it's also a Sega blobber and interestingly, the first game in their Shining series (including Shining Force, a tactical RPG and Shining Soul, a hack-and-slash RPG). In terms of difficulty, I'd argue Phantasy Star is the easiest. For ones that play like old-school D&D, I'd argue WizLoLS is the easiest of the bunch. I only read too late that you're not quite looking for "baby's first dungeon crawl for babies", but figured I'd offer. [/QUOTE]
