Wizardry/dungeon crawler recommendations

[GoldenJogador]

after watching a trailer for dragon ruins and binge watching Majuular's ultima retrospective, im suddently struck with a big desire to crawl through some dungeons, which games in the wizardry series would be good entry points?

i did tried SMT if... on superfamicom and how the screen works on that game gave me headaches, my favorite DS game so far is SMT strange journey and i want something with those dark fantastic vibes, but with decent screen scrolling, preferably classic wizardry stylized

i wanna know if theres anything that fits my asking between the super famicom and PS2 or on GOG

It's okay your thread friend but this thread is more like General Gaming Discussion or Game Recommendations than Introductions.

About dungeon crawler, here's my two favorites:

Unchained Blades (PSP)

Double Dungeon (PC-Engine/TurboGrafx)

Wizardry tale of the forsaken lands (Ps2) has some good atmosphere, intriguing history and a nice combat system to top it off.
I enjoyed Arcana (Snes) there are hacks to restore cut content, translation fixes among other amenities.
Shining in the holy ark (Sega Saturn)

If you want to start playing Wizardry series...start with the Snes remakes. It has 1/2/3 and 5 and 6 (don't worry about 4, it is on the psx and is in english expect for the spells). For 7 and 8 I recommend Dosbox version, those are what I played them on. Also If you are looking for more dungeon explorer games, I recommend the D&D Eyes of Beholder. It is real time instead of turn based, but it is worth the effort.

Also Bard tale is similar to the wizardry series if you want more.

Shining in The Darkness for Sega Genesis, Shining The Holy Ark for Sega Saturn, Light Crusader for Sega Genesis. Even though that is an isometric game, it is still a dungeon crawler.

maybe Kowloon High School Chronicle, originally it was a ps2 but it only released in japan, then it got remastered in english with this name, it's not on gog i think thou but it's on steam if you just wanted to play it on pc, the best version it's still ps2 only, but it could be still worth it, i have it on my "to play" list for now, but i think it could be similar to what you want.

Elminage Gothic

Elminage Gothic seems cool too!!
