Wizardry Series - Have you tried it out?

[WesternYokai]

You guys should try Undernauts. It's very Wizardry-ish, but has a bit of different vibe that differentiates itself from the Medieval setting.

Yes

i've been making on & off attempts to get into the last 3 of the mainline series (6-8), i think they add a lot to the wizardry formula & world (esp 7 & 8) and i love felpurrs
i've tried all of the console ports of 6 & 7 that i could find and i don't really recommend any of them for a full playthrough, either due to menu navigation hell or awkwardly translated spell names

wizardry 8 is my favorite wiz game period, soo much fun & i love how they translated the combat system to an open world 3D environment.
6 & 7 took a lot of warming up to for me to like them, consulting the manual pdfs for both games helped a lot (as is the way for 90s crpgs)

the gaiden series is also interesting & i've been meaning to get into it, mostly just need to find a mapper online that i like lol

I've played a little on these since the old computer versions, and judging based on the PS2 one I saw uploaded some days ago, they look just as dry as they always have.

That's why I call them Wizard-Dry

No, but I always wanted to.

I heard it was the inspiration behind Sword Art Online.

I got the SNES version, the psone version and the remake since forever in my backlog, but I always end picking up something else to play. Btw dog kobolds are the best kobolds

I enjoyed the already mentioned ps2 titles, tried the Llilgamyn saga at various points in my life, but always ended up abandoning it mid course.

Never tried the series but I have some interest in the PC Engine ports. Does anyone know if they're any good? The graphics and music in this version make me want to try it out.

No. I don't tend to like dungeon crawlers. Even though I've enjoyed some sedate simulation games and strategy games.

I had quite a few opportunities to rent one of the NES Wizardry games from New Wave Video, or maybe New Video Releases. I kept passing on them. And I was the nerd who rented Ghost Lion.

I'm sure there's at least one Wizardry game that will work on my Steam Deck without having to make any adjustments. Unfortunately, I already have five games in my Steam library which I enjoy. There's a dozen others which I bought, and which I'm trying to like, since they have colorful graphics, comedy, or both.
