Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls Reviews

game is nails hard but fun for those who can stomach the game being a little unfair at times. (tpk in the starter dungeon for woot) advice for all you people having gold trouble with the inn get a priest in your party the 0 gold rest option restores all spell slots, then go to your magic tab and heal up the party with spells sleep for free to get back spells and bam back to getting maimed for gold loot and glory. also until your party is about level 5 stay near-ish the dungeon entrance for quick retreat to go and heal up in town

I played this game on my OG 1st Gen iPad years ago, and I still own the iPad and have it installed. It was the only app I payed for on my iPad. I only ever completed one character story, but with the achievements and the ease of playing on the computer as opposed to the iPad, I'm planning to play through them all and gain all the achievements. As a huge fan of the Wizardry franchise, I found this to be a fun installment. It keeps to the spirit of the game while adding some interesting things. If you are familiar with the original franchise, especially the first 5 games, you will notice a lot of the same elements here, including character classes, random loss of stats on level gain, and alignments; but you will also find some new and interesting things. Your characters can be distracted in battle or even faint when hit. The Bishop grows way more quickly. (If anyone remembers the original games, the Bishop's growth is extremely slow). Your Bishop can become frustrated with trying to identify (appraise, in this case) an item and not want to try identifying for a while. Spells are a bit different and have much more of a range of strengths and weaknesses against monster types. Items list out their bonuses and weaknesses much better than the original games did. There is the inclusion of maps for sections of each dungeon, which is very nice. No need to cast a spell to see where you are or where you're going (DUMAPIC, anyone?), although I did enjoy hand mapping out the old games on graph paper. (I still have my hand-drawn maps). All-in-all, it's a great Wizardry experience. For those not too familiar with the games, it's a good intro point; though if you do start here, it may be hard to get into the old Wizardry games. For those who have Wizardry experience, it's as enjoyable as the original series with some great updates to make the game more playable.
