Wizards & Warriors
Windows version
If you are a RPG-Veteran or Wizardry-Lover, this is a must-have!
The Good
Bradley once again shows, that he is able to produce great Rpgs:
- The Charactersystem is much more complex than the one of e.g. Baldurs Gate
- The World is very Huge and there are lots of interesting places to visit
- The Dungeons are very well designed
- The Game reminds a lot of the old Wizardry-Games
- A lot of Quest
- Sometimes very difficult but solveable Puzzles
- Good Turn-based Combatsystem
- Great Adventuring-Atmosphere; nice Spoken Descriptions of the Surroundings and good Music
The Bad
- Some people might not like the "classic"-Style of the Game
- The Icon-based Movement and Interaction-System could have been solved a lot better
- Most NPCs dont have a lot to say
- Graphics are not up to date (but ok)
- The Mainstory isnt very original
The Bottom Line
I really enjoyed this game a lot, but you have to be somewhat a fan of the "classic" RPGs because it plays quite different from Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, FallOut, Planescape and the other new ones.
