Most Wizardy fans denigrate the M&M series (especially 3-4-5) as "Popamole"
Newsflash: popamole encounters are designed that way, for trash mobs your party can easily beat, the designers made it so your characters can trounce them in a second so as to not drag the gameplay down. In fights vs difficult encounters you need to take each turn carefully, have every caster carefully chooses his spells, have your thief uses his stash of wands and potions you've accumulated, etc.
Contrats this to Wizardry 6-7-8, where every single trivial fight vs some stupid bats, rat men, beach crabs, or small plant, takes a fucking year.
