This is the first video I’ve ever made. It is a Spoiler-Free examination of one of the most notable, classic RPG games, from a perspective of someone who has never played it before 2014 (Because I started making this video in 2014).

In the first part we shall cover how the game establishes its tone (both aesthetically and gameplay-wise), go over the core gameplay mechanics (such as the battle and RPG systems), as well as making a brief overview of the Wizardry series' history.

Wizardry VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant is the seventh title in the Wizardry series of western role-playing video games by Sir-Tech Software, Inc (with David W. Bradley as the lead game designer). It is also the second - and the best - entry in the 'Dark Savant' trilogy. The game was published in 1992 by Sir-Tech, originally developed for DOS.

I would highly recommend getting this game as it is very cheap and provides hundreds of hours’ worth of content… assuming that you can tolerate the dated visuals and hardcore gameplay of the old. Also I recommend using GOG, as it includes the original DOS version of the game, which is far superior to its “gold” re-release.

Lastly, I wanted to say that even though this is an “in-character” game review, it is not as much about the characters or their interactions as it is about the game at hand. The entire aesthetic of the video is aimed at reflecting the atmosphere and the “feel” of the game in order to make a complete review. Basically, the idea is to fully realize the potential of the video format as a reviewing medium by utilizing the visuals, audio, structure and story aspects as much as the usual analysis of the game.

I know that sounds over-zealous on my part, especially considering that this is the first video I’ve ever made, but that is why I’m asking for you feedback – there are bound to be mistakes and some questionable decisions on my part, and I need you to notify me about them, so that I would be able to improve and make better videos in the future.

Thank you for your participation!
