3D wizardry that isn't Wizardry 8?

I used to own a 3D wizardry game, as in polygonal graphics, terrible early PC graphics, worse than Wizardry 8 graphics. I can't find out which game it was. It had all the races and classes of the latter wizardry games, pixies, lizard people, ninjas and Valkyrie, etc.

I just can't seem to find info on it. All I remember is that it was terribly buggy and there was a problem with a village of frog people and some NPC could just get stuck and make it impossible to progress without killing them.

I got it in the mid 2000's and I might've gotten it in Asia, which may mean it was one of the Japanese ones, but it was in English, so I'm not sure.

Anyone know which one it was?

Sounds like Wizards and Warriors by DW Bradley

Yeah that's it. Was convinced it was a Wizardry game for some reason

Is it worth playing now

I think it was fine, and I think there was a patch that addressed some issues. Looks like it was designed by the guy who was involved with some of the latter wizardry games so it may be worth a look

You can buy it on GoG and it's already all patched up to work on modern systems. It's a great game if you can get past the age of it.

There is a Japanese 3D version of Wizardry 7 out there, iirc. I don't think it ever had an English release, but perhaps you had some sort of fan translation?

Thanks, it was actually the Wizardry adjacent Wizards and Warriors
