Wizardry 8 brings back the classic feel of some of the old school DnD games. Trying to figure out the various classes that fit in with your style of gameplay while balancing them with the ability to survive. So many different combinations that you can have will make this game fun to replay or run multiply runs at the same time. The exictment of finding the various classes that works well together to give you a difficult time surviving while at the same time giving you pride. Or the various ways to play classes. Like a fire only mage, or a damaging priest and so forth. The classes has so many different ways that you are able to play them.

With all that going on you also have the going back to find stuff that you needed to go forwards to get. That and trying to remember where they were at the same time. Or if you forget to grab an item that you need later the trying time to figure out where it is, the hunt that you have for that one treasure that you needed. Getting the information from various NPC's or the notes that you have to find.

All of this combined with the option of a ironman mode where you can only save when you exit the game and once your party dies it is all over. This brings out the caution for those loved party members, while at the same time making sure that you don't bite off more then you can chew. Not being able to go back and take back those options you did that makes people hate you or attack you.

These various things in this game is a large part in why I would recommend this game to others. The long hours that you can spend on it along with the replay ability. The various difficulty with the option of Ironman to up the challenge. All of those and more make this game well worth the ten dollar price tag.
