The game can be a bit obtuse, so here are some basic tips to help new players get started. Game comes out of early access on May 23, 2024.

Minor clarification - when I say you can't mix and match alignments, I'm specifically talking about good and evil characters. Neutral characters can work with any party without using the trick I showed off.

  • Great info!! Love the game. Hope u make more videos on this game. Pro tips, more places to grind, and maybe where to find weapons/gear besides store. It helped a bunch, ty! 🙏
  • @oliath
    I've never played the original but I remember seeing it. I've also never played a game of this style despite always being interested. This game getting a remaster seems like the perfect way to finally play.
  • @warlok363
    I kept rerolling to get two neutral Samurais and used them to carry and level up a stable of good and evil characters and farm Murphy's Ghost.
  • @timnitti5243
    Thanks for these videos Boss. Wizardry 7 is easily my favorite game of all time. I enjoyed watching your playthroughs and looking forward to this one. Appreciate you Bro!
  • @Travel-Adv
    Love this, I wish they’d do a remake of the Crusaders of the Dark Savant.
  • @multieyedmyr
    Yea lol I don’t think modern gamers are ready for how difficult this game is
  • @johntrout5828
    Run the maze two fighters One cleric and a mage. You get more experience points to level up your mage.. Once your age can wipe out whole parties get your wizard and thief
  • @jaredh923
    My favorite blobber is Nevergrind Online (Its multiplayer too) if you like this
  • @warlok363
    Also, don't bother save scumming the HP gain on level up. The way HP gain works is your entire hit dice are rerolled and if that HP total is higher than your current max you get that value, else you get +1 HP. So eventually if your HP is lagging behind you will get a big increase on some levels.
  • I have to know; is it made in the spirit of "the game should be easier for modern audiences," or does it retain the difficulty of the 80s? I just finished the first part of the Bards Tale Trilogy (with legacy mode enabled) and the fights were so easy I don't think I can play part 2 I'm so bored... Mangar died in one hit and I didn't do any grinding.
  • @mitchkupietz
    Woof. If you guys think this is tough, just wait until there is a 3D remaster of Nethack 😳
  • I can currently complete this game with just one lone cleric in my party. I've done it on the Wizardry versions of SNES, PS1, GBA and also on WonderSwan. I wonder if I'll be able to achieve it in this version as well... but I probably won't have any problems achieving it. I love the way this remake looks, and Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is my favorite classic dungeon crawler.
