What can I say? I absolutely love the remaster. The tools and guides (yup; that darn wheel too) are available for reference but; the original game is still very much an option for you with these guides still available. Remember those original hint guides? I read them like books as a kid and was mesmerized by the hints to puzzles, and more. Nostalgia remains fully intact with the remaster; lets hope for a proper addition next time around? Just me bein nostalgic again I am sure.
*I'll eventually update the review once I have progressed into the 2nd and 3rd game in this collection.* Whether you played the original games back in the 80s or want to check out some very classic RPGs from the early days of that genre, this is a good choice. The studio put all three games into one package, updating the graphics, sounds and many other things. Under that new "skin", you'll find the bones of those classic games, so you get to experience them with a graphic style, performance and with QOL features that may remove the barricade of running the originals on an emulator or bouncing off the very outdated graphics and controls of the originals. (Not that there is something wrong with it, I still enjoy playing old games in their original version, but I am aware that's not for everyone!) The game also is made a bit more convenient by new features, like a party inventory instead of individual ones, charges for certain items instead of a percentage change of them disappearing, etc. If you want to play it the way it used to be, use the legacy mode, the choice is up to you. The game comes with a default party you can use to jump in even quicker, yet I recommend to either create your own or using some of the default chars (you can change their names if you dislike them, or remove the equipment to have to equip new characters) and adding your own. For example, there is no hunter in the default party, yet that class is pretty strong and you may want to create one and add it in the backline (first 4 chars in your group are the frontline, the other 3 are the backline, so you want your casters and hunter in the back row). I also recommend to create a monk and stick it into the frontline, it's a pretty cool class as well, especially once you level it. Healing happens in temples, while you recover magic points for casting by moving. You will run into random encounters and should explore the city thoroughly. Eventually, there will be a hint to visit a certain bar, and you may want to ask for a specific kind of spirit there to find something new to explore. This game (or rather, collection) has been on my pile of shame for years, but I recently decided to reinstall and give it a try, and I have been enjoying it. Yes, it is grindy, and especially early on, you may fail when running into a strong monster group (you can try to run and you should do so sometimes...), but if you are up for reliving some memories with a polished visual experience or check out why people loved the BT games back then, this is great! It currently is about 3 bucks, so you really don't have much to lose, and if you miss the current sale, I am sure there will be others where it's that cheap, considering it came out in 2019. Bottom line: A great remake of these beloved 80s classics, and, like the recent Wizardry 1 remake, a wonderful way to explore or revisit these magical streets.
This is how you do a remaster properly. While not perfect (it would be nice to choose between classic c64/amiga/apple/pc graphics, for instance) it brings a classic series up to date and makes it way more playable than the classic versions, which you can still play if you are so inclined. That said, this is still a conditional thumbs up. If you aren't already a fan of single player turn based blobber style dungeon crawlers, this likely wont change your mind. However, if you remember these games from when you were young and want to revisit some memories, then you probably will love this just as much as you did back then. If you are new to the series and want to see one of the original legends of gaming in action for yourself, just be aware that you are playing a remaster of a game from the 1980's so it will feel dated even with most of the new options on. I first discovered this series back in the mid 80s in the pages of Compute! magazine and played them on the c64 so I personally like leaving most of the new options off, except for save anywhere. That pretty much leaves the classic feel almost entirely intact with the new controls and alleviates the need to run back to the guild to save. The new spellbook and automapping are great for me and make one of the all time legends playable even today, although the maps and puzzles are still classic 1980's style so new players may struggle a bit with that. Good deal at normal price, utter steal on sale.
