Of course, [[Excuse Plot|very little of that has anything to do with anything]], as the real plot is something along these lines: There's a few big dungeons in town. Go explore them.

In a more meta example, the game itself has an interesting history -- Sir-Tech, the company that created Wizardry in the early 80s, was wiped out by the direct intervention of [[Electronic Arts]] -- they pulled in favors to prevent Sir-Tech from being able to publish Wizardry 8 (due to EA wanting to purchase Sir-Tech and the Wizardry IP). However, before their death they had given a cart blanch licence to a Japanese firm to make new Wizardry games.
 
These Wizardry games are much closer to the old school Wizardry games -- Wizardry 1-5. They have limited classes and races, especially when compared to 6-8, no sci-fi elements, and very few scripted events in the dungeon. The dungeons are 20x20 square maps (although not every square is filled in), and rely on fairly simple tricks to encourage map making.

=== Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls provides examples of: ===
* [[Bokukko]]: Thanks to the Japanese voiceover being left in (as the only option no less), we get to hear the female Porklu hero be ''exactly'' this even in the English version.
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: The game launched with a DLC pack for $5 which extends the intro / tutorial dungeon into a [[Bonus Dungeon]]; justified due to the game having been out for several years in Japan (a second one is incoming that doubles the level cap and adds a smaller [[Playable Epilogue]] dungeon.) Less justifiable (albeit nothing not included in the Japanese Wizardry DLC store) are the "Growth Seeds" which add extra points to character creation, and the "pay real money for in game items" DLC, such as paying $2 for a rare item that drops on floor 9 of the dungeon.
