Anyone a fan of Wizardry, or other first-person dungeon crawlers? (lemmy.world)

I think I played whichever one was on my Amiga waaaay back in the day, and whichever one was on PS3 for a bit. I was also a big fan of some of the Might and Magic games, which I feel were something of a bridge between the old dungeon crawlers and something like Morrowind.

Anyway I was thinking of trying one out again. Any recommendations, maybe one with modern QOL features to ease in?

I see there's a remake of Wizardry 1(?) and remasters of the Etrian Odyssey games in the past couple years. I'm also kind of intrigued by Undernauts, which looks like it might throw a little Shin Megami Tensei flavor in?

Legend of Grimrock and Vaporum are supposedly pretty good. World of Horror looks sick and has a Junji Itō inspired spin. And there is a new release The Secret of Weepstone that’s very much inspired by the current resurgence of oldschool tabletop games.

Ooh, I'm really digging the art style on Grimrock. It's very reminiscent of the weird-looking old games, but so charming and slick about it.

Weepstone also looks fantastic, like playing an AD&D sourcebook. Will definitely be trying that demo this weekend.

Oh, and GOG has both Grimrock games for a pittance right now. That miiiight be my whole weekend now.

Its a great game!

I love the first one more than the second for some reason. Not sure why.

World of Horror is pretty awesome, but I don't think I would ever really lump it together with first person dungeon crawlers like Wizardry or Grimrock
