Gaming Retrospective - Wizardry 8



Wizardry 8 is an old school classic dungeon crawler RPG from 2001 and it is last in this long lasting game series. Wizardry 8 was developed by Sir-Tech known for their epic Jagged Alliance games. This game is very popular in older gaming circles while most of the new gamers have unfortunately missed this gem. Story is a mix of fantasy and science fiction that strangely works great together. The goal of our party is to find three very difficult to obtain artifacts in order to ascend as gods in a world of Dominus.




This game has robust character system and there are 15 classes to chose from. Those classes range from classic Fighters to Rogues and different Mage types that use many different schools of magic. Battles can be fought in turn based system or in continuous phase mode. This is a very long and deep RPG with so much to do and with so many enemies to slay. Voice acting and ambient music were done masterfully in a very detailed and strange SF/Fantasy setting. Truly one of the greats.
