Ultimate cosmic power has never been so near!

Wizardry 8, an epic conclusion to the Dark Savant saga, successfully transferring one of the most prominent classic RPG series into the realm of modern 3D graphics and featuring 200+ hours of challenging and diverse gameplay--DRM-free on GOG.com, for only $9.99

[url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/wizardry_8][/url]There's a reason gamers like to refer to the classic RPGs like Wizardry or Might and Magic series, as the games of the good old times. The transition from 2D sprite-based graphics into the realm of 3D marked a distinctive line after which role-play gaming was changed for ever, and in many cases not in the way fans hoped for. Wizardry 8 was one of the very few games, that achieved a great feat--it adopted to the new era of gaming without losing its original spirit and old-school charm. When released 9 years after the previous game in the series, It was praised for staying true to what made its predecessors great and memorable. This allowed all the fans of classic Wizardry games to experience the conclusion to the Dark Savant saga in the only way they would accept as true, while keeping up with the contemporary standards.

Wizardry 8 allows you to import your party from the previous game and complete the Dark Savant trilogy in the company of old friends.Offering yet another 200 or more hours of deep, original, and satisfying gameplay it was dubbed a worthy successor of the classic series, and a well written conclusion to the entire story. So, there you have it hardcore role-playing fans--paired with Wizardry 6+7 its a classic trilogy that takes about 700 hours total to beat. Isn't that simply mindblowing?

You cannot hide nor delete a legend! Complete one of the greatest RPG sagas in existence--the story of the Dark Savant--get Wizardry 8 for only $9.99 on GOG.com.
Question how fast will these releases (VI,VII,VIII) move up the bestseller charts? (where were they on the most wanted list??)

I have never played Wizardry, I take it they are good from how excited everyone is.

reaver894: Wizardry 8 is a great game, and i see 6+7 have been released too but is it just me or would anyone else have preferred they released the earlier ones first (or aswel)

Oh wow. I guess this is why I saved up my money for this month.

If you like role playing - it's one of the best in my opinion.
If you like a diverse character development - it's one of the best in my opinion.
If you like turn based combat - it's one of the best in my opinion.

And so on :-)

Edit: Speaking for Wizardry 8 only, I never played the earlier ones.

MadalinStroe: Amazing release! However Chaos Overlords seems to be conspicuously missing. Did something happen?

JMich: Yes. It got sick. We do have a note from its mother excusing it.
Dear JMich;

Chaos Overlords has been detained for extra lessons at school. Please allow his friends Wizardry 6, 7, and 8 to take his place on the Ultimate Frisbee team this weekend. We trust you won't be put out too much by the substitution.

We're really pretty sure for reals this time that he'll come out to play next week.

Signed,

Mrs. Overlords

So, I uploaded patch 1.2.6. for shits and giggles
http://www.gog.com/forum/wizardry_series/is_w8_patch_126_included/post3
Not my creation but I couldn't find a working link, so grab it and put it somewhere solid. Or test it. I've played many hours in the Russian edition of the patch without any issues.
Well done, GOG.

If you enjoy party based, turn based RPGs, you can't go wrong with the Wizardry releases.

Well, you can if you're an outlier....but you probably won't.
Woooah, finally we can have a legit and working version of this game easy to find. Good job GOG.

I am getting the feeling Mr. EnigmaticT ate it and is now making all these lame excuses for it not showing up. Pondering whether to call the cops.
Finally something i want :D.

Wishlisted alongside 6+7

Well yes I know that, but it was last week. Doesn't the post say that we can expect it this week?

Edit: Just saw TheEnigmaticT's latest post.
