who?

>>9087175
Werdna successfully went through the floors of Wizardry 4. That alone makes him one of the toughest motherfuckers in gaming.

>>9087175
who??? never heard of him let alone this alleged esteem people have

>>9087213
Wedna has to be one of the highest power levels in all of gaming. He successfully killed hundreds of full heroic adventurer parties constructed specifically to kill him, all while being chased by a psychotic ghost mage, and avoiding every trap and overcoming every puzzle in the game.

Choose your Zelda.

>>9087175
Since you actually play as him and go through that gauntlet of shit to ascend to greatness I would say yes.

>tfw filtered at 3rd floor

>>9087308
Go and play three previous Wizardry games before tackling the fourth one.

>>9087521
not that anon but no amount of playing wizardry will prepare you for 4. you can't really be "prepared".

>>9087521
I tried but the first one bored me out of my mind after the first ten minutes. Zero fun.

>>9087568
You didn't even get to the "fun" parts

>>9087579
So this is where Megami Tensei got this idea from...

>>9087592
Did they also include the mechanic where if you take too long to beat the game you die of old age?

>>9087956
Wizardry Gaiden IV is a lot of fun though. It's set in fantasy Japan instead of fantasy Europe.

>>9087595
Wizardry is one of my all time favorites just for pulling shit like this.

>>9087956
*savestate*
Nothing personal, kid. I really love wizardry 4 from a design pov though, it's like the dev is playing chess with the player.

>>9087824
I could dance like that too... If I felt like it...

How does Trebor's ghost pursuing you in this game work?

>>9088924
Trebor moves in real time while the rest of the game is turn based.

>>9087956
Dumbass that doesn’t tell you anything about werndna as a character it’s just a dumb copypasta to meme people into playing wizardry

>>9088924
he moves on a timer even inside menus
save to make him go away

>>9087175
>Werdna
Hey, that's my name backwards :3

>>9089357
>evil sorcerer's name is andrew backwards
dunno why but that always made me lol

>>9089359
The game was made by Andrew C. Greenberg and Robert Woodhead.

Andrew spelled backwards is Werdna.
Robert spelled backwards is Trebor.

>>9087175
yes

>>9088271
just play this one. you can set the language to English and it has built in quick saves

hi there

>>9091338
This map looks like a mess

>>9091338
Post the floor that's a minefield, with a required item inside the minefield.

>>9089436
love this OVA. i like how straightforward, borderline bland it is. it's like somebody made a comfy 80s ova out of a couple of sessions of D&D

>>9091494
though to be fair the intention is that you come back later with the winged boots so you can fly over the bombs. but you can still get the items with lots of dios potions, monsters that heal you in battle, and some luck.

>>9091581
>and some luck
that's the entire game dude

>>9091591
>find pentagram and summon fresh group of monsters
>take 1 step
>battle, enemy has initiative
>mage goes first with tiltowait
>high roll on Werdna, instant death since you can't have more than 100 hp

pretty much

The game is pure distilled hatred and sadism in videogame form.

fpbp

Werdna is the real deal, bros.
Who but a top rank badass hangs out with Vampire Lords and bosses them about to do his chores?

>>9087175
Werdna isn't even the greatest villain in his own game.

>>9088281
so who's streaming?

>>9088281
You can only dance like that if you're actually gay.

>>9087824
>>9088281
Millennial and genx geezers wish they had the confidence to dance.

>>9093443

Who is?
Lord Hawkwind?

>>9088947
>>9088930
>>9088924
depends on the version, OG wiz 4 trebor never stop moving, in rereleases he only takes a step when you take a step

>>9087956
worth noting that you only get a finite amount of steps in the game before it game overs. although unless you intentionally waste them you will have more than enough. also everytime you return to the pentagrams it respawns the entire floor of enemies and traps.

>>9096002
too add on this, fighting enemies is worthwhile because many of them drop items you need or want.

>>9087824
That's gen alpha and yes they will be worse than zoomers in all aspects.

>>9095854
"footwork" isn't dancing
get a job

>>9087175
What does he look like under the hood?

>>9099075
Old guy with a giant beard. There are some Wizardry anime's given its popularity in Japan

>>9098978
>dancing is only what I say it is
You're irrelevant, old man.

>>9099405
and you're bald and jobless

>>9091337
Is this a collection? Which games does it include?

>>9099426
I would rather be bald and jobless than be a crusty young adult complaining about kids having fun.

>>9087824
Most of the parents of these kids were born after Wizardry fell out of popularity though.

>>9100924
>I would rather be bald and jobless
he says, to the surprise of no one

>>9101120
Who hurt you, Anon?

>>9091337
Fuck, it's so expensive now.

>>9101924
>i live on the dole
yikes

Use an emulator or burn the disc yourself.
