  $30 is a little steep in today’s gaming market. I’ll almost definitely pick it up on sale though.

    Maybe it was me, but compared to might and magic at the time it was brutal with the difficulty. There was no internet to find out what to do.

      Well, Might & Magic had the advantage of letting you make your moves turn by turn, where’s Wizardry had that weird system where you commit each party member’s action all at once and then let ‘er rip. I always found it strange and also inconvenient.

      It is brutal. The entire series is brutal.

  That’s cool, and the graphics look great. This will probably do well in Japan, since Wizardry was a phenomenon there. I’d pay $30 but I’ll wait until there’s a Switch version.
