“Where do I even begin with this one? This game is of its time, ahead of its time, behind its time and out of its time all at once. It is both timeless classic and aged abomination, and I am all for it. Give it a try if you've never played it. Pray that the God of Random Numerals…”
— a player, Steam review · 60 hrs played“This is an excellent dungeon crawl where you can actually die at any level. It has great puzzles and a good story line. The biggest downside is you do have to map...or have one hell of a memory.”
— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“WIzardry 6 does not properly work right, The initial battles are difficult and if a player dies he cannot be replaced. If you reform the party the experience and items gained are reset to zero. It was a good games years ago but this copy sucks”
