Ok, the title may sound confusing, but i'm not asking what it is, I'm asking what is it classified. Its a RPG right. But isn't also Sci-Fi. I've thought about it, and it can be a Sci-Fi RPG. I mean, there are the Umpani who have Rocket Launchers and a spaceport, and muskets, that would seem to do a lotta damage. The T'rang have energy orb thingies, and yet swords can beat the crap out of hi-tech stuff. Is it considered Sci-Fi.

I believe it is still considered Fantasy. There are several things that do this - sort of blur whether its fantasy or scifi - but I think since it is grounded in fantasy (previous wizardry games), it remains fantasy.

If cities were more elegant, with flying ships everywhere, I think they might have pushed it to scifi. But the world, setting, etc - all seems to be based in Fantasy, with a touch of SciFi element to it.

Yes it is a "Fantasy RPG" first person game with i touch of Sci-Fi in it but you dont fly any space ships or things like that.
And the magic in the game is SUPERB the best i have seen in any game to this day and the Umpani weapons are almost useless i think so stick to good swords like *Light**Sword*(unique sword) and Excaliber sword and for your Ninja use the Cane Of Corpus (unique staff) the best weapon in the game LOL [img]tongue.gif[/img] so if you have not played this game DO IT i think it is better than NWN, BG or MW.

There is a playable demo available (it's about 148Mb) from the Wiz8 Web Site.

Check it out, if you're not sure, but be warned, you'll get hooked on the game!
