It combines real time 3D exploration with turn based combat.The plot is complex even if almost linear. While the game can be played as a strategic combat game with some tme spent hanging around, the great depth in character evolution and the vast amount of enemy types and abilities make it an always evolving challenge.Two thumbs up: masterpiece!. I had a copy of Wiz 8 back when it first came out, thanks to my dad. I was so enthralled whenever I watched him play it because of the gameplay and the character-creation. When I played it after I got older and was able to better grasp the mechanics of the game, I was still in love.The first part of most RPGs, character creation, is an experience itself. With many races and classes to choose from, there is plenty of variety because you not only create 1 character, but you create 6. The races range from the Tolkienesque races to some really cool and unique playable races (Dracon. Faerie, Lizardman, Mook to name a few)There are plenty of different classes to choose from also. Developing your characters throughout the game is also great. There are many spells to use too. The game plays like many of the old school RPGs like M&M in a FPS type. Just watch the video to get the idea. Wiz 8 was the last of a dying breed when it came out, but I personally enjoy the gameplay. Combat is turnbased while exploring is free roam. The story of Wiz 8 is actually pretty fascinating and proves to be enagaging at times. I'll leave it there and let it unfold for you because I had the story spoiled for me and I will never forget it. I wish it wasn't spoiled.All in all, I can praise and review and talk about how fun Wiz 8 is til I'm blue in the face. For 10 bucks its a steal (comes fully patched and the graphics are improved compared to the original release.) considering to get a CD copy is about 50 bucks. (They don't make it anymore and not many were made). Get it, play it, and enjoy the experience of Wizardry 8.. This is a game for you Magi-punk lovers. while you are confined to one planet, Mages in space is a ridiculously fun idea. Designing a party of 6 right from the get go is also a very nice feature that a lot of games don't have these days, and it which lets you get into playing as your characters. The game is a bit hard early on while you learn the controls and do your grinding, potentially learning what makes a bad party, (like one without a dedicated healer.)I highly reccomend going into the controls and switching things to WASD, because arrow keys are agonizing to use. and it took me a while to find that holding right click let's you mouse control instead of the Numpad. once you get used to that, this game get's amazing.. Best rpg ever if you install the fast combat patch. Somehow i have missed this game in my 20+ yrs of gaming and discovered it in 2016.WHAT A MISTAKE HAVE I DONE.Game made by Sirtech (Jagged Alliance rings any bells?) which made me remember how the games used to be in times when great game dev studios still existed...I won`t write a game description (Wizardy 8 Wiki instead[en.wikipedia.org]) but let me tell you - if you play this you are in for a treat.Graphic is still "playable" (early 3d i would say ;) ) and the gameplay itself feels just awesome (mix of real time walking and turn based combat from first-person perespective).The amount of possible combinations for characters and party creation is vast and i can't yet imagine the replayability value (endless? :P ).Don't forget to edit the file 3DVideo.CFG (with notepad or whatever else) in order to type in your desired resolution (ingame utility offers only low res) and have fun.PSIf you are new to Wizardry series i suggest watching some youtube guides for first party creation like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2Z1dm3b5Ys. This is one of my favorite all time RPG's. I owned it on a 3-disc set back in the day and hadn't played it for some time before it hit Steam. I had forgotten just how well done the game was for an '01 title. The story is fun, the voice acting is quite good for such an old game and this game is party building at it's finest. This game is an early entry into making choices that matter in a game. Building alliances or making enemies of the Umpani and Trang makes for some fun questing.I'm one of those crazies that skills up a Bishop as my first 15 or 20 hours of a playthrough. (You see the time spent, I'm dedicated). There's a science to it! Having to skill up all your weapon, magic and every other type of skill takes dedication and revolves around making choices in weapon types from the start. It's so time consuming you really need to pre plan what it is you want to characters to wield, will they dual wield, use a shield, go martial arts - all of that. You aren't likely to have multiple weapon skills 90+, otherwise.Become a Cosmic Lord and defeat The Dark Savant and dive into the way back machine for a good ole' game with a lot of charm and replay ability for those of us that were really into Wizardry, Ultima, Might & Magic and Bard's Tale type games of yore! $10 well spent!. An unsurpassed classic RPG. No game has offered such a combination of deep character development, reach dialog options, clever tactical combat and a crazy world to explore. It's a shame that there's no more Wizardry game to pick up it's banner.I bought it on CDs when it came out. Then bough it here when my CDs got stolen. I'd buy it 3rd time if it mattered :-). I'll try to keep it short (gonna be difficult). Intro: Played this game about 10+ years ago (could be 15+)... in Russian, and it still was cool when I was so young I had no idea what was going on half the time. I remembered deep char creation, went back to try it. First day experience: I spend half day creating my party of 6. Every following character took more time. Truth be told, I spent most the time reading and looking up info online on classes, combos, strengths ect, but I can tell you... it is VERY DEEP. Especially because the way it balances the classes isn't "linear"... Classes have tiers, basically meaning more powerful and imba ones are harder to play and are a lot weaker earlier and require more exp per level as well as pumping resources (time and ingame money) into them. Unique points: * Classes - As described in "First Day". I think it was 15+ different ones? They partially overlap. Example#1 - I love the fact that you can have a mage, that can cast everything in the game. But the class is so sh't and useless first half of the game, that it's not an insta-pick unless you want a challange. Example#2 - Variety of "tank" options... You can either be unkillable, because you have a %-chance to ressurect. OR you can have insanely high health regen, to be hard to bring down in the first place. OR you can have so fat armor that nothing really even scratches you. OR you can be so hard to hit (enemy miss), only option is AoE spells. Every option also has weaknesses in certain ways, which you can also try to mitigate...* This game enemy scaling is probably amongst the best I've seen in many RPGs. Grinding your character levels and skill early on doesn't make the rest of the game significantly easier, nor does it severely punish you either. I feel like I've significantly leveled up and improved my stats (some of my main attributes are maxed) and yet I still feel going to beginner areas somewhat of a challange. * Looting - You have loot that is visible on the floor, loot that is in chests/containers and loot that is "invisible" but you require a certain skill to "see" it. [either Ranger in party with it or "Search mode" or certain Active-Spell]* Strong status effects - Not just "different" versions of DoT damages ( like many RPGs do ) but actual status-effects that impact the combat, some are annoying enough because they're "permanent". Meaning they persist until taken care of with a strong status-specific potion or some other means (but there's enough ways to not feel cheesed either).* Races and Factions! - Amongst the most amount of interesting races (for me), without them all being "cheesy" as most modern RPGs... Mouse/Hamster people fighting against Rat people, awesome... Fish faced dudes, Robotic aliens, Half slime-insects, giant hairy gorillas... Also finally NO DRAGONS (they've been severely overused and are boring)* Journal - It has several interesting features. 1) No cluttered useless chit-chat or background info you don't need.2) Quest hints and info is quite steamlined and slim, basically couple keywords. 3) Doesn't hold your hand and make you feel like a ret'rd by telling you where to go and what to do precisely. * Inventory man.- this is done brilliantly. I love looting and this game enables it, but at the same time it has some "soft" penalties for being a pack-yak. Weak points:* Graphics obviously outdated. Doesn't bother me though.* So many awesome races existing in the game that you cannot create a character from. Sadly it'd probably break story logic, but hell I want to make a party of slime-insects or Fish-faces! * I'm not a game dev, but I see oceans of opportunities and "easy" ways to deepen the game and add replayability imo. * Many items despite different stats, qualities and names have same visual icon. This doesn't bother me, but in a modern game I would address this.* Game objective and quest log "can" be confusing, but it has a good effect to it [read Unique points.]* This game has interesting universe, wish there was like a "encyclopedia" to turn back to, to read up on what you've collected or found on different factions, races, events ect.Conclusion: This is the kind of game, that makes me search for similar games in similar genre, that are as little as 10 years newer. P.S If you find anything that can come close, let me know.THANKS!
