Based very loosely on the first three games in the Wizardry saga, The Wedge of Life is a very standard sort of 3D dungeon RPG, with an overhead map on the DS's top screen and a first-person view of the action on the bottom. Unlike the old Wizardry games, this one takes place in a sort of realtime -- rolling boulders will advance at your party even if you do nothing, and some situations require you to escape from a room before a time limit expires. You'll also use the DS's touch screen to examine the traps you find in the dungeon, solving sliding puzzles and the like along the way.
