Wizardry IV - Origins/Mechanics

Editor's note: This podcast was recorded in August 2024. Don't @ us about how weird some of it reads in hindsight.

So it's come to this. We're going to look at one of the granddaddies of the RPG genre worldwide... through the lens of the most controversial and dismissed title in the entire franchise. Welcome to Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna, a game that eschews party creation and stat rolling for brutal puzzles and series mechanical mastery. Sibyl is back at the helm for a strange season start to finish. See who makes it all the way through one of the hardest games in the entire genre!
