Ever since I took my departure from Wizardry Daphne as I believe Drecom no longer fit to be the one in charge of Wizardry series Legacy, I have been searching many substitute Wizardry clones DRPG candidates. This is not exactly difficult thing given the immense influence of Wizardry series in Japanese game industries and Nintendo Switch is blessed with tons of DRPG titles both new and remaster. One of the game that I come across obviously a Wizardry series called Five Ordeals which have been getting remaster few years ago only to make it as Switch Port around 2024 with translation came up couple months ago.
Wizardry Five Ordeals is one of the two available Wizardry series apart from Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord and available in Physical Copy with English Language option. For 40 USD SRP which is equivalent to Wizardry Daphne Gacha currency for a single 10-Pulls, you got yourself a Wizardry game that have 5 main Scenario modules to play with and 2 additional Scenario based on Wizardry Gaiden as DLC option. Apparently Wizardry Five Ordeals was available in PS2 before it gets remastered so we can expect somewhat decent production value that didn't aged too badly but still expect brutal Dungeon Crawling difficulty which is well known selling point of Wizardry Series.
Each of the Wizardry Five Ordeals Scenarios could last up to 10-20 hours so expect overall more reliable mileage out of the money spent compared to spending it on a Gacha version of this series. In near future perhaps I could discuss DRPG series in regular basis considering I do have deep fascination for this genre probably due to being a Millenial.
