Title
Wizardry I: The Bard DLC. Expect sheer brutality, and the Bard really doesn't do much except have six marginally useful spells(songs) which he can cast indeffinitely. It's the same as Wizardry, but sports an overworld, where you won't be left at peace from random encounters. At 4 years after the first Wizardry this dungeon crawling experience just leaves an awful taste in my mouth.

    I'd take Wiz4 over this or the first sequel any day, seriously.

    I can imagine the original version being tedious, but the modern remaster with the various QoL additions make this such a fun game
