Synopsis

This Wizardry Gaiden 4 follows the 3 episodes released on Gameboy. It is a parallel story to that told in the main series, and takes place in feudal Japan. Instead of exploring a stone dungeon, we'll wander through wooden castles and temples and face ninja, samurai, and "oni". But outside of the context, nothing changes compared to classic Wizardry. Same movement square by square in subjective view, same very difficult turn-based combat, same stripped-down storyline (no/few dialogues, no staging). If you can choose to display some information in English, most of the text on the screen remains in Japanese, which adds further difficulty to this already very "hardcore" title. Technically, it's certainly prettier than Wizardry 5 on the same machine but it remains very frugal.
