The Game Wizardry Nemesis is a combination role-playing/adventure game, so, if you are expecting a roleplaying game with a massive world to explore and weeks, or maybe even months, of solid turn based combat and puzzle solving as you negotiate your way through the story, then you are in for quite a surprise. Though it has many roleplaying elements it also has its fair share of pure adventuring elements, but more about this in a moment. As with other Wizardry titles, Nemesis is a first person perspective game, however, with this one you only control a single male character, a lonely traveller, newly arrived in the town of Galican. It's dark and oppressive and most of the townsfolk hide behind locked doors. You, however, are braving the outside world when a winged Shadow attacks and carries you off. All would be lost had Rian the Sage not been on hand. Hurling a fireball he thwarts the Shadow and rescues you, taking you back to his humble abode. Very soon you learn that the ancient magick of the Nitherin has returned and you, a mere commoner with no knowledge of the art of magick, must set out to find the Talismans and overcome the evil. Well since it is part roleplaying there is a statistics component to this game plus a good deal of fighting. Dealing firstly with the statistics, they are fairly limited and you take no part in creating your character or allocating any bonuses during play. You simply take a pre-determined character and his statistics such as health, energy, dexterity, etc., will increase as you gain experience. Your skill points with various weapons will also increase and, with a bit of luck, you will progress from a mere peasant to a very respectable master. I began by watching my statistics closely but it is quite unnecessary to get pedantic about this aspect of the game as everything is automatic and no actions rely heavily on specialised skills. Fighting is in real time and there are a number of attacking options such a swing, thrust or parry which are achieved by different mouse movements. I have to confess that, although I achieved the esteemed title of master, I never mastered the finer points of fighting. For me at least, frantic clicking was the most successful strategy. Of course, as well as combat with weapons, you also have your magic to fall back on. There is a total of 16 spells which range from healing (not recommended during combat as you are far too vulnerable) to poison cure and firestorm, sandstorm or windstorm. Rian gives you your first spell to get you up and running and the rest you will find scribed onto scrolls as you progress in your travels. Wizardry Nemesis consists of quite a large game world with outdoor areas as well as underground caverns where you would swear you were travelling in a traditional roleplaying environment. Then there are the more problem solving sections of the game where you seem to slip into a traditional graphic adventure. During these times you have the opportunity to search various locations and overcome obstacles whilst relatively free from marauding monsters. I say relatively free because there is still sometimes danger lurking nearby and, in the library for instance, innocent looking books can hide very unpleasant surprises. The more adventure type puzzles featured in this game are not too difficult, especially at the outset. However, they do get a little trickier towards the end and unless you are very observant you might find yourself slowing down somewhat at this time, I did. You will need to find secret rooms, locate important information in books and be on the look out for various symbols that might be of use in puzzle solving. Nothing mind-wrenching, mind you, if you pay attention. All the graphics in Wizardry Nemesis, both outdoor and indoor, are detailed and very impressive considering its mid 90s vintage. I loved the Nitherin Library towards the end. Also, during the course of the game, when you meet other characters, for instance, or for various transitions, there are a number of short animated cut sequences. Some of these are quite spectacular, such as riding the gondola across an abyss, and, fortunately, you can press the escape button to skip them if you've seen them a dozen times already. The game interface is simple point and click although you can also use your keyboard if that suits you better. At the top of the screen an icon allows access to the 8 save game slots and here you can also find the Preferences menu to fine tune sound, music and brightness, as well as the Settings menu to toggle the subtitles off and on, or to change the turning mode. Other features include a map to which you can add your own notes, as well as a diary which is automatically updated each time you enter a new area. Remember to refer to it regularly as it contains clues to help you along and notations of the important information you have discovered. Nemesis is a good blend of traditional adventuring and roleplaying. It is never difficult, especially with the helpful hints at hand, so most of you will move along at a fair pace and not get too bogged down too often ... if at all. If you like action adventure games then it will surely be a treat. Note: My compatibility CD does not alter the retail game or bypass copy protection. It allows the original media to install and run correctly on any recent version of Windows.
