Great Throwback Wizardry Title
I'm a big fan of the NES Wizardry games (the two released in North America) and Wizardry V for the SNES. I recently bought a repro cart of Wizardry: Throb of the Demon's Heart for the SNES, but the ROM is super glitchy. I had avoided Labyrinth of Lost Souls because of the low ratings, but the more I read, it seemed like some gamers had a problem with the old school Wizardry formula vs. the execution of the game itself. That's fair. However, if you like the old school dungeons crawlers, this game is an incredible experience. Break out the graph paper! (Actually, the in-game mapping is pretty good, so you may not need to). Besides sticking true to the older Wizardry style of gameplay, the UX is well-done—smooth, intuitive, and easy to navigate. Visually, it's a nice visual upgrade and I much prefer the anime-style graphics vs. the traditional Wizardry artwork of "trying to make the game developers look like heroes". I have played through Wizardry 8 and Tales of the Forsaken Land, and I much prefer the game style of Labyrinth of Lost Souls. I like the straightforward battles (Wizardry 8 could have some tedious encounters) and the confined but familiar pace of older dungeon crawlers. I'm surprised it took me so long to finally play this one. While it's not for everyone if you like the early Wizardry games this one is a love letter to the dungeon crawling days of yore.
