Ultimate cosmic power has never been so near!

Wizardry 8, an epic conclusion to the Dark Savant saga, successfully transferring one of the most prominent classic RPG series into the realm of modern 3D graphics and featuring 200+ hours of challenging and diverse gameplay--DRM-free on GOG.com, for only $9.99

[url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/wizardry_8][/url]There's a reason gamers like to refer to the classic RPGs like Wizardry or Might and Magic series, as the games of the good old times. The transition from 2D sprite-based graphics into the realm of 3D marked a distinctive line after which role-play gaming was changed for ever, and in many cases not in the way fans hoped for. Wizardry 8 was one of the very few games, that achieved a great feat--it adopted to the new era of gaming without losing its original spirit and old-school charm. When released 9 years after the previous game in the series, It was praised for staying true to what made its predecessors great and memorable. This allowed all the fans of classic Wizardry games to experience the conclusion to the Dark Savant saga in the only way they would accept as true, while keeping up with the contemporary standards.

Wizardry 8 allows you to import your party from the previous game and complete the Dark Savant trilogy in the company of old friends.Offering yet another 200 or more hours of deep, original, and satisfying gameplay it was dubbed a worthy successor of the classic series, and a well written conclusion to the entire story. So, there you have it hardcore role-playing fans--paired with Wizardry 6+7 its a classic trilogy that takes about 700 hours total to beat. Isn't that simply mindblowing?

You cannot hide nor delete a legend! Complete one of the greatest RPG sagas in existence--the story of the Dark Savant--get Wizardry 8 for only $9.99 on GOG.com.

rrr8891: This really has been a remarkably strong month, never thought we'd see any Wizardry games on here. Chaos Overlords next week is icing on the cake.
You're joking, right? Well, at least we got Wizardry 6-8, Anvil of Dawn, REDkit, and Raiden Legacy, as well as Chaos Overlords in the near future, so it's not all bad.

Awesome, you have good taste. Him and Tom Servo were my two favourites.
Too bad non of the money of this can go to Sir-Tech ..
they were a good, if not so well managed, company with very original releases and a very sad ending ...

Yeah, apart from every single game you mentioned (along with Eschalon 1 + 2) it hasn't been a strong month at all.

You're joking, right?
came home, installed the game, played it for about 4 hours, and it was awesome :)

I have a smaller group of four, lord, rogue, mage and archer, I play on casual (cause I'm old and demented) and it's still hard... but tons of fun!

upper monastery, here I come! (later)
I amazed! I never thought this game would ever arrive on these shores. Well done!

wolfsite: Again be sure to pick up Wizardry 6&7 as well, the story arc of Wizardry 8 begins in 6 and you can affect some elements of the story when importing your characters between 6/7/8. They each also have multiple endings and beginnings for imported characters and some items in previous games can unlock secret areas in later games.

DeadlyRamon: For Wizardry 8, you get a completely different beginning if you import your Wiz7/Gold characters vs starting anew. The only other advantage is that your imported characters get a 4 level boost, but retain none of their Wiz7/Gold items (it is explained that during their long ride on the spaceship their muscles atrophied and they grew lazy).
There are a very small handfull of items you can import with you. One of them is pretty cool.

*SPOILER BELOW*

If you get the Diamond Ring from Rebecca in Wiz 6 -and you're gonna want that one to use near then end of Wiz 7- you can import it again into Wiz 8 and give it to her brother Bella, the Dragon, for a huge xp reward and some easter egg dialogue.

*SPOILER END*

I think there's a mod out there which gives it to Vi-Domina though, if you want to experience the easter egg with a new party.

Any chances of getting the games before 6 as well?
Can someone tell me if the current GOG front page and the cat image from the news post in the wallpaper extras for this game?
One thing I want to ask about carrying the same party from W6 to 8:

How does the import work? You get the same character with the same stats and level 1?
And how about items? You get your sword of dismemberment or the items are toned down (or even deleted)?
