...could definitely be a sleeper hit given D.W. Bradley's track record and how fun Wizards & Warriors was.

I personally found W&W something between a bore and an annoyance: boring, because NPC dialog never seemed very interesting and quests were fairly mechanical; annoying, because quest items would appear deep in dungeons in rooms you'd already gone through long ago, while the town interface was a mess. His best calling card was several of the Wizardry series, and there he was working alongside other fine designers. I have to say that his work since then has not been terribly impressive, though I'm willing to extend the benefit of the doubt and try the final product.
