I think I played whichever one was on my Amiga waaaay back in the day, and whichever one was on PS3 for a bit. I was also a big fan of some of the Might and Magic games, which I feel were something of a bridge between the old dungeon crawlers and something like Morrowind.
Anyway I was thinking of trying one out again. Any recommendations, maybe one with modern QOL features to ease in?
I see there’s a remake of Wizardry 1(?) and remasters of the Etrian Odyssey games in the past couple years. I’m also kind of intrigued by Undernauts, which looks like it might throw a little Shin Megami Tensei flavor in?
There’s actually a Wizardry mobile game that dropped recently that is technically a gacha game with permadeath, but is actually pretty good and I’ve yet to put a cent into it. Wizardry Variants Daphne. I wish the dungeon layouts were a little more complex, but I’m not that far
Thanks for the recommendation, I gave it a try.
I’ve been playing for almost 2 hours and tapping through endless interruptions and pointless dialog boxes.
Does any of that ever change?
What I want to do is walk through a dungeon and kill things & loot.
It gets better, but that does continue to be a thing. Part of the reason it’s so heavy is a bit of a spoiler, so I’ll leave it to your discretion:
Tap for spoiler
After some point, you gain the ability to rewind time, and while things are fairly shippable on review, you’ll start having informed decisions to make that matter.
That being said, either way the game is somewhat chatty. Even if it gets better, it never completely goes away.
I appreciate that, I’m not dissing the game, but I don’t think I have the tolerance. I appreciate you saving me some time.
The game is actually pretty cool, I just have never really liked story “getting in the way” of stuff.
Totally reasonable. Not every game is for everyone, no guilt!
