Wizardry is the dungeon crawler. It’s one of the earliest CRPGs together with Ultima and was essentially just the devs trying to bring the classic D&D dungeon crawl to the PC. The original style of those games where a bit more light hearted and goofy but when they got localised to Japan a lot of the humour got lost in translation and so Japans interpretation of Wizardry is as a much more serious and gritty series. Wizardry has been kinda forgotten in the west despite being an American game but it’s huge in Japan to the point where the series has been owned by a Japanese company for years and there’s been tons of Japan only sequels and spin-offs. There’s an old OVA from the 90s that comes highly recommended and adapts the first game. Blade and Bastard is set in the same world as Wiz 1-5 and has a bunch of fanservice in it for people who played the game. The characters are basically crawling through the dungeon from the first game.
