springtoiffel: quote: "I'm not the target audience for this sort of game"

and this exactly is the reason for Grimoire's mixed reputation.
Grimoire is a love letter to Wizardry 7, a hardcore dungeon crawling RPG. the target audience for Grimoire is the people that love Wiz7. I can't imagine a single reason why fans of Wiz7 would dislike Grimoire.

andysheets1975: I'm not sure if it's been pointed out yet or not, but Blakemore actually worked for Sir-Tech back in the 90s (I won't get into his weird feud with Brenda Romero...) and Grimoire was in development since around 1997 or so. Its 20 year development cycle is one of the things that has made the game so notorious. It's not so much a "love letter" to Wizardry 7 (which implies that it's another retro-game) as it is almost literally a 1990s game that somehow fell out of a timewarp into our present day, warts and all.
yes and Cleve should've been lead designer or something like that on the "real" Wizardry 8 --> Stones of Arnhem.

but Grimoire is a love letter to Wiz7. it literally is Wiz7 just in a different setting and a little less polished. but it's absolutetly worth playing for those who love Wizardry 7.

SpecShadow: it's the only Wizardry-like game these days.
Still no other Wizardry games on GOG...
well there's Elminage Gothic here on gog, but EG is a love letter to Wizardry 1-5 ;-)
so yes, Grimoire is the only Wiz7-like game out there.

ThorChild: 6+ hours of content after 20 years of dev, pus lots of bugs and broken features. IF you realy want some of that action just check a lets play and save your money for a better game (nearly all the older games it is inspired by are actually better games).

Luj1: 6+ hours? You have no idea what you're talking about mate. It took me two weeks, playing for 2-3 hours almost every day, to complete the free demo released back in 2013. The full game is actually pretty huge, with multiple starts and multiple endings. You're obviously on some butthurt crusade.
Opps i dropped a zero from that - i meant 60+! I'll go edit the original post too for good measure. Oh and your obviously butthurt but in a defensive manner ;)

I think that this game has its own value but not as a game itself but it is rather about whole story around it.

Shame on you GOG for turning down this excellent game.
Why not send a questionnaire to all developers to see if their political affiliation matches yours? Then you could purge all those who engage in wrongthink and live happily ever after.

A month after Cleve Blaekmore's revelation that GOG refused to publish Grimoire that launched two seperate forums threads here (gog forums), Grimoire gained roughly 120 votes in the GOG Community wishlist, so.....looking like Steam/Valve captured 95% of all Grimoire sales already.
