One of the best wizardry ports out there, you even get to make your own scenarios should you choose. Can be very tilting, especially if you wipe deep in a floor and lose some valuable party members. It's definitely worth playing if you're into crawlers like Shin Megami Tensei or Might and Magic. I don't suggest this game for beginners of the genre, even the intro scenario can be pretty tough compared to proving grounds but it's very well made and the first 3 floors will teach you pretty much everything you need to know about delving the underworld.
As a long time fan of Wizardry, I love this installment. Very top tier 'classic Wizardry' experience with many scenarios to explore. I also love the Custom Portraits feature and adding my own characters to the game by creating custom portraits for them. The english localization is fairly weak, so keep that in mind. It doesn't bother me personally. I can look up things in the JP database if I need to, but not everyone has that skill. I've also played older games with much worse translations, so, again, doesn't bother me. But I'll point out the weak translation as the main and most notable flaw in the game in case you're the type of player who cares about that.
The best iteration of the old-school Wizardry dungeon crawling experience, with all the quirks that entails. When you get used to its interface, Five Ordeals plays at a lightning-fast pace, with a plethora of maps available if you include the user-made scenarios, enough to set you up for hundreds of hours. A lot of modern DRPGs are too gentle with the player, diminishing the fear a complex maze full of monsters should rightfully instill. Here, the unforgiving difficulty of the combat and maps, combined with Jun Suemi's art (which captures that old-school dark fantasy vibe perfectly) and Basiscape's moody soundtrack result in a very atmospheric experience despite the subpar dungeon graphics and the atrocious translation. The challenge keeps you engaged, and the game's fast pace smooths over the annoyances of grinding or having to create new characters because of TPKs. The scenario quality varies and some classic Wizardry mechanics, such as item identification and the inn system, could really do with some quality-of-life touches, as the Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord remake demonstrated. But this remains a must-play for DRPG fans and those interested in the Wizardry formula. The Proving Grounds remake is probably a safer, easier introduction to the franchise and a better starting point for the inexperienced, but this provides more depth and a lot more maps to sink your teeth into. Five Ordeals' flaws are pretty obvious at first glance, but it's hard not to look past them when the reward is virtually infinite classic Wizardry.
