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!
Pandora's TowerPandora's Tower focuses on Aeron's travels into thirteen towers to break a curse on Elena that is transforming her into a beast, using his magical sword and chain. A certain set of these monsters are referred to as beasts, as their flesh can be used to temporarily reverse the effects of the curse. The primary objective of the game is to acquire the "Master Flesh" from each tower's master beast, as this is the only way to break the curse. Players only have a certain amount of time in the towers before Elena's curse worsens (displayed as a meter on the player's screen) and the player is forced to exit the tower in order to give Elena flesh; thus it is important for the player to take shortcuts in order to reach the top as well as to go back.Action
Arc the Lad: End of DarknessSCE takes the Arc the Lad series away from its roots and into an Online-playable action-adventure game. Players become a hunter who must travel the world and take on jobs, usually revolving around taking out enemies in real time using magic and special abilities. Collect cards from battle and events and equip them to gain new skills, all the while following an RPG-like storyline. You view the action from overhead, with a camera zooming in and out depending on the intensity of the action and occasionally switching to other angles for dramatic effect. You attack enemies in real time, tapping X once for a simple attack and repeatedly for a combo. You can also guard against attack, dash at an enemy, and press a button to run about the play field faster. The game places heavy emphasis on magic use, with the magic meter recovering automatically and quickly following each spell.Action
Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost OceanAn original roleplaying game for Nintendo GameCube from the team behind Xenosaga. The game makes heavy use of cards for everything from fighting battles to purchasing items. Cards are actually a central part of the story as well, as they are holders for "Magnus" which is short for "Magna Essence." Magnus is the true nature of all things throughout the world, including swords, magic spells and even apples that are gathered in the town in which your adventures start out. A real item can be turned into Magnus form and stored in a blank card. It can then be taken out from the card and will turn back into real form. Features detailed CG cutscenes to tell the story and turn-based battle sequences.Fantasy
