Just not fun
I remember this from decades ago. I was blown away when I saw it listed here. It's been so long I forgot about out it. I immediately purchased it. Unfortunately, it's just not fun. Random encounters, poor story, everything about it is more tedious than fun.

ITZ coming
After quitting the team behind the never released, bizarre and now infamous W "Stones of Arnhem", Neanderthal Cleveland Mark Blakemore took it upon himself to create a true sequel to Wizardry 7. More than 20 years in the making, Grimoire is everything that was promised and more. Finally on GoG where it belongs with the other great classics of the RPG genre. A must buy!

Totally nonintuitive set up, horrid dev
The manual already reveals 2 things: 1 You're treated as someone who has never played a video game before. 2 Everything is needlessly complicated and convoluted to infinity (e.g. who the F needs 2 or 3 spells for discovering secrets and another 1 or 2 commands to act on what was found). On top of that, the game functionally foes not work well: e.g. you can't Alt Tab out and you'll be forced to use the power button to turn off the PC, as you'll get stuck with nonresponsive game window and the inability to open or select any other program (and the Task Manager). Selecting the most basic thing is also set up in the dumbest way possible: e.g. why can't I press escape to bring up the save and exit option like in any other game, or how the UI is set up in such a dumb way I'd be hunting for the movement controls or anything else to actually play. On top of all that, the dev is a jerk with a god complex. E.g. he will actively belittle and insult people for solid, informative and constructive negative reviews on Steam in such a way it would be too charitable to call it childish and immature. The worst Internet trolls do not reach his level.

Masterpiece
Played over 300 hours of Grimoire through several updates on Steam, and recently completed version 2 content. Heralds of the Winged Exemplar is a faithful call back to early 1990's computer role-playing games, specifically the D.W. Bradley Wizardry titles. Outstanding exploration of a rich gameworld, with a party of up to eight characters that the player can generate. Its complexity is such that many will fail to grasp every feature, mechanics and systems all at once. Casuals need not apply.

How did this take 20 years???
So I love my old games. You may or may not see on my record I have hours gushed into the Might and Magic series 3-8; you might see I have hours in the Quest For Glory series; you won't see them but I have hours put into the Wizardry games too, at least 1, 2, 3 and 5. But this, 'the ultimate successor' it is not. It's got an ugly art style-- most character portraits seem AI-generated, and while environs look kind of nice, the enemy sprites start having re-uses (not even palette swaps, just straight reusing the sprite) literally right away, like in the same zones they first appear. They're not ultra-pretty either, we're talking amateur-in-MS-paint levels of design. The sound is generic, and that's ignoring the 'Might and Magic' effect of monsters repeating a sound file over and over (looking at the Brigands). Then I got into the game. The very first encounter I ever had in Grimoire was against three beetles-- 'Cophrophages,' I believe 'poop eaters' translated-- who began routinely one-shotting my party members starting with the Warrior and Berserker I'd placed in my front line. I must have done something wrong, I thought. And so was a constant wheel of discovering no, in fact, this game is just totally okay throwing these encounters at you right at the start. This is on top of a system that's only somewhat detailed. I read the manual but I guess I didn't read enough because I kept running into battles that would flatten my entire party. We're talking start game, form party, take six steps-- bam, TPK. Look, I don't know who this guy is or why this MS-paint mess of cobbled-together assets took 20 years. None of this looks like it was made 'with love' or 'care' or anything but some kind of spiteful drive to just sell the game. The only possible, plausible excuse I can find for this taking 20 years is that the developer was simply that woefully incompetent. I own it, and it cost like $2 on sale, so it was 'worth' it. But I wouldn't ever dream of paying full price.
