Paper Wizard is globally a good game. The graphical style is charming and efficient (when you get used to it, which comes very fast), the gameplay is simple but working for the 10/12 hours you will need to finish it totally (meaning, discovering most if not all the secrets). On the down side, some glitches with the interface and a uninteresting story which won't surprise you (except if it's the first RPG you play). Worth its price!
Paper Sorcerer is a good way how to kill some time. Dungeon crawlers are very rare today so every new game is held in high regard. This game is not perfect and it is not the best ever made. However it gives you good gameplay and experience and given its worth is good value. There were some bugs, maybe new patches will solve it.
A nice dungeon crawler with carefully-tailored non-random levels and a lot of customization for your team. You are some criminal who has to bust out of a prison. You slowly (re)gain the ability to summon some monsters to fight by your side. You can select from a variety of available monsters, but choose wisely; you will only ever be able to summon a few of these. (This unfortunately encourages the player to select the more obvious tank monsters to summon instead of the more interesting specialized ones.) The game attempts to look like a pen-and-ink drawing and succeeds to a certain extent. There is, however, a lot of graphical glitching, especially around shadows and movable objects like doors. The writing is good, which is important as there is no voice-acting, and the music is indifferent. I would recommend this game over the older dungeon crawlers from GOG's catalogue as this one has MUCH better controls and does not rely on random encounters to lengthen it to the incredible degree as older games did. Who has time for 80 hours of hacking at rats or rerolling characters endlessly to get the rare but necessary high stats these days?
First time playing it, I got stuck in an endless loop talking to a goblin. I'm talking like, 2 minutes into the game. Kinda lame. Engine seems cool and stylish but damn, these windows.
I've played through only the first three levels but this remake of old classics like wizardry is brilliant!
True, the interface it awkward, but I think was designed to mimic the old times.
The story is quite original and the graphiccal "paper" feel (AD&D 1st anyone) is just the icing top.
The combat is strategic enough and all remembers the RPG from the 80.
