Game Doesn't Respect your Time
Out of the 10 floors, there are only 3 that actually have anything worth doing on them. Once you get your characters level 8, you can do the repeated grind of hoping you get moderately better gear. Does it matter? Not really. Low level wizards and mages can hit your whole team for 20-30 damage per round (usually in teams of 2-5), and you're going to be around 100 HP tops after a long grind with the fighter types, and 80 or less with the caster/thief types. Level 13 seems to be the expected "top off" before you try to finish the game, but if you're lucky enough to bump into Greater Demons, they instantly paralyze and poison your high level characters with melee attacks, and when not doing that, spam spells for 30-50 hp damage (I have never seen less than 4 of them at a time). If you want to give Werdna a shot, which I did with level 13 heroes, he appeared with 3 vampires and a vampire lord... guess what? They spammed magic and wiped 4 of my heroes in the first round. So what am I saying? This game has no protection against magic, which seems to be the go to for most high level creatures on the 10th floor. Your hp doesn't matter, your gear doesn't matter, AC seems to be irrelevant. The game expects you to frequently lose heroes and waste countless trips "recovering" them. This may have been a good strategy in the 80s when you had one game until your next birthday or Christmas, but these days, there are better things to do with your time, and this game requires minimal to no skill and has a shallow system. Play Wizardry 6 and 8 instead for a much more rewarding experience.
