Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls is a role-playing video game developed and published by Acquire for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, iOS, and Microsoft Windows. The game's Japanese title is Wizardry: Torawareshi Tamashī no Meikyū (ウィザードリィ 囚われし魂の迷宮, Wizādoryi Torawareshi Tamashī no Meikyū).[3] Although the Wizardry series was originally developed in the US by Sir-Tech, it has been kept alive in Japan by various developers.[3][4] The dungeon-crawling role-playing game franchise had not been seen in the West since 2001's duo of Wizardry 8 for Windows and Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land for the PlayStation 2.[4]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

The game received "mixed" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[5][6][7] IGN criticized the PlayStation 3 version for making players put in large amounts of work and not rewarding them enough.[1] GameSpot criticized the same console version's old fashioned design and (erroneously) claimed it lacked an automap feature, but praised its challenging and addictive combat.[9] GamePro said, "Ultimately, 'Lost Souls' will reward masochists and scare off anyone intimidated by the slightest bit of a learning curve. There's a great challenge in store, but it doesn't pull any punches or make any apologies. Know that going in and don't say you weren't warned."[8]

Windows version

[edit | edit source]

Scheduled for release on May 29, 2019 for Microsoft Windows via Steam, Xseed Games announced that day that the game would not be released as originally scheduled due to unforeseen IP licensing issues. Eventually, the release date was solidified as January 15, 2020.[20]
