Ok, I'm pretty excited about this. Ever since two years ago when I played a fair amount of D.W. Bradley's little-known PC RPG "Wizards & Warriors" (2000) I've been wanting to record a video of its charming old school party-based gameplay, but never found a way to get any kind of recording program to work with the game. As evidenced by the shocking scarcity of W&W videos on RU-vid, other uploaders have had more or less the same problems as I have.
As for the game itself (which I never had time to finish back when I played it the first time), Wizards & Warriors is an intentionally old-fashioned RPG with very little in the way of narrative development and instead a heavy focus on semi-realtime combat and the player's progression through a complex skill/class system. It's by no means an ideal modern follow-up to Bradley's earlier classics such as Wizardry 6 and 7, but given how the genre has developed since this game was released it's hard not to see W&W - along with better games such as Wizardry 8 and Temple of Elemental Evil - as representing the swansong of the traditional hardcore PC RPG.

Well you got Sacred Gold edition back those days too, and the Gothic and TES sagas are good too. Just bought the W&W from GOG where seems they make it run over win 10 for the remember :D

​@@DonDregon Sacred is mostly action, or "diaboid" if you prefer. TES and Gothic are also action oriented RPGs with modern look and gameplay. They are great, don't get me wrong, but W&W had that old-school 90s vibe and aesthetics of first-person view party RPGs that was completely lost afterwards. Only Legend of Grimrock and M&M10, years later, has tried it again, but that was pure retro-projects for old fans. Maybe it's not right to call W&W "last true PRG". More like it was the last RPG of its generation. The game that marked (for me) the end of an era and start of a new one.

This game and the Lands of Lore series were like playing inside of a dream. Pure magic. W&W was one of the first real 3d rpgs fullu fledged. Graphics weren't the best but the immersion was still superb. And with DW Bradley's multi-classing system akin to Wizardry, the character customizations were endless.

@Karakta Glad to hear you're playing Wizardry 8. The game can take a while to get into (for example, I know I struggled at first to wrap my head around the awesome class system), but once you "get it" there are few RPGs which offer as deep or as satisfying an RPG experience as W8 does.

@Dominuzzz Sorry, I'm not in the business of throwing around game files like that. Might upload a complete OST playlist to RU-vid at some point, though, (as I did with the rare Dune 1 soundtrack, which was apparently much appreciated) if I don't find them anywhere else on this site.

@DWTerminator As far as party-based PC RPGs go I was pretty late to the party as well. The subgenre have always been part of my gaming life in some form or other (with Dungeon Master 2 as well as the amazing Betrayal at Krondor being notable early experiences), but it was only two years ago when I recorded my Let's Play of Wizardry 6 (and 7) that I began spending a lot of time exclusively with old school party-based PC RPGs. But yeah, the world desperately need Wizardry on GOG.

@CrackaStoleMyBoat This game doesn't play nicely on *anything* (except maybe Windows 2000 or whatever it was designed for), but this clip was recorded on a Vista machine so it should be playable. Have only played it extensively on an XP machine, though, so I'm not sure about long-term stability.

@Digijedi569 Since it's apparently me you're taking a dig at, I might clarify that not wanting to share copyrighted game files with complete strangers has nothing to do with being "lazy". I'd appreciate it if my decision not to engage in questionable file sharing was interpreted with a tad bit more generosity than that, thank you very much.

How did you ever get this running? I had the game ages ago, but I can't remember if I had the demo (I had a LOT of demos, pc gamer mags ftw). I looked into this game a couple years ago on some abandonware sites but it was a nightmare to get running, and when I finally did get it running almost nothing worked properly. I could create characters, enter/exit buildings, and walk around outside the town but that was about the only thing that worked. I couldn't get the combat to work so I just gave up on it. I would love to play this again, some of those old games are just so damn good for their time.

This game is a pure gemstone of highest RPG quality. BUT you have to first dig through some cumbersome beginning and first few hours of "wtf am I doing". No rly. I have finished this. The character development is awsome; at first you can do very little, like in Wizardry 7, but later on your heroes become harbingers of death in their own particular way with many skills. The story isn't all that great but it's ok, but where the game excells is the level design. Boy there are SUCH GREAT PUZZLES and VERY GOOD QUESTS that requires thinking and very nice surprises. Rly, don't let any people tell you this is shit game, because it's a diamond. Anyone who says this is shit hasn't gone past first few hours necessary to get to a point where heroes are getting better and story and quests and puzzles start to finaly unveil. PS: Word of advice. Save yourself big amount of woe and read walktrough, section classes. Nothing more, just classes. You DO NEED to know where to develop your characters from the beginning. Believe me. The game is very unforgiving about this and you may loose some cool stuff in character creation, if you don't know how to get to it.
