Is a hidden gem in the dungeon-crawling RPG genre, offering a deeply immersive and challenging experience for fans of classic turn-based combat. The game masterfully blends strategic battles, intricate dungeon exploration, and a compelling storyline set in a dark and mysterious world.
This is easily one of my favorite titles on the PS2 I first played it completely blind and its always stuck with me as an incredibly atmospheric, charming, and funny experience. For my first ever wizardry title I was surprised at how well balanced yet intense the game could get, i never felt like it was easy but I never felt being pushed too hard, the "Allied Actions "mechanic is honestly alot of fun to mess around with and I'd love to see it be used in other rpgs :D the game has a simple but very well executed story and the art direction is top notch! I love the designs of all the monsters and people you come across, everything feels crafted and well loved. it remains a hidden gem and i genuinely wish it got more recognition in the rpg scene. <3
I'm an old timer been playing since the original nes. This was the first wizardry game I'd ever played and I absolutely fell in love with it!! I'd heard of wizardry and tried a few out but for some reason this one really sticks with me. I actually beat it for the first time ever about a month ago. I had it on ps2 and had never really finished it because I got distracted by other games again and again, but now that I'm 41 I've slowed down and took the journey start to finish this time and just wow!! The characters I have grown to love all have such amazing stories and the main story once you get closer to the end really got to me!! I want to.be able to play this again and again til I'm old and gray😂 this for me is one of my all time favorites I rank it up there with dragon quest 8 chrono trigger and final fantasy 1 and 7 all of which are some of my all time favorites!

Xenogears
XenogearsXenogears follows protagonist Fei Fong Wong and several others as they journey to uncover the truth behind mysterious, cabalistic entities operating in their world. The principles and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung influence the plot, character design, and world of Xenogears. Additionally, the symbols, theological concepts, and devotional practices of several world religions are represented in fictionalized forms in the game. Major psychological themes are the nature of identity and human memory, particularly as these relate to the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder. The relationship between humanity and machines is central to the game's plot, as indicated by the presence of giant robots dubbed "gears," which almost each playable character can control.
