Big Missed Opportunity

I was expecting a Widardry Classic with modern UI and controls. Both are just as aged as wizardry 4. Too tedious. I really wanted to like it.

Great game

This old school blobber is great, Seperate the art from the artist, and if you are a fan of this style of RPG you will not be dissapointed.

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.
