An old-school RPG will arrive on GOG.COM on 15th January 2020. Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls from XSEED Games revitalizes the time-honored formula of the original dungeon crawler series and adds modernized visuals and sound to the mix.

I'll pass on Wizardry: Mobile Waifu Edition, but at least it's here for those that wanted it.

dtgreene: Remember, GOG *did* end up releasing Arabian Nights here, even though that game is rather famous for being buggy and possibly unplayable (when not speedrunning it).

GameRager: Is that game old/classic(by that I mean pre 2002 or around that)? If so, IIRC they usually make exceptions for some old games(especially smaller size games which take up less server space/etc) which no longer receive updates & which have a decent user base to sell to.
Arabian Nights doesn't have a real userbase, it's a completely broken, incompetent train wreck of a game that only got popular because of a memetastic GDQ speedrun, not many people would actually want it, but plenty voted for it "for the lulz".

Well i'll take your word for it(unless I find out otherwise from someone else, that is) as I am not familiar with the game.....still, if it sells and people buy/don't refund it'll still help GOG a bit...and who knows, some might even have some sort of fun with it. :)

Not sure if this helps anyone, but I had this game for PS3, and despite putting a lot of time into it, I just wasn't that satisfied with the overall experience.

I'm just seeing that some people are disappointed that it took this long for Wizardry: LoLS to come to GOG, and I want to stave off further disappointment for those people by helping them manage their expectations.

Wishlist entry
Seconded ;-)

I played the first one and liked it. Are the other Skeldals any good as well?

Out of curiosity, have you played Elminage Gothic?

Basically my thinking too.

Yeah, I have it on Steam, but haven't put that much time into it. Didn't really get into it.

Maybe this just isn't my genre. *shrug*

What did you like and dislike(without too many spoilers if possible)?

Also if it's even somewhat good(and even if its comedically bad) I might buy it anyways just to see how it is as it's in a genre I like.

Well, apparently it was 2011 when I last played Wizardry: LoLS, and according to my PSN profile, I didn't actually complete anyone's scenario, but I do remember putting a lot of time into it. One trophy I do have is for mapping 100% of the dungeon. Apparently getting to the final floor of the dungeon isn't enough to beat the game.

I think that's what cheesed me, having seen the whole dungeon, yet still having to go back and do extra stuff to beat the scenario. I kinda just wanted it to be over at that point, if I'm recalling correctly.

Guys, please cut down the personal talk and off-topic in this thread - it's for discussing the upcoming Wizardry game. Thanks! :)

I like such things and have not much else BUT time...so sounds good enough for me....thanks for the info, btw. :)

Who's played this game? Is it good?
Posted January 09, 2020
I've played it and it but it (PS3 version) didn't quite capture me like the original Wizardry games did (is made be a different developer so that may be part of it). It should be okay for a play-through but unless you like extensive grinding I would avoid trying for the game achievements as they are very demanding for a game like this.

After 20 years I can finally put my old saves to use

I went with my party from Wiz6 to 7 and now final 8th. Better not stop there...

Unfortunately, you won't be able to do this here.

This Wizardry game is a Japanese spin-off, and is hence not part of the main series (which I call the Sir-Tech Wizardry games). Also, it was originally released for platforms that did not have Wizardry 8.

Also, about half the classes that were in Wizardry 8 do not appear in this game, so actually implementing such a character transfer would not be straightforward; what should be done with Gadgeteers, for example?
