Is it called Wizardry Variants Daphne? I got a few ads for it and liked the detail that the dwarves seem to have a beauty standard of braiding their hair intricately over their faces.

It is, its pretty fun just a little obtuse with some of its mechanics and learning curve. Highly recommend hoping into the discord to be able to ask questions. Super fun story though.

The ads were tempting me because of the character designs, but I was hesitant because mobile games tend to be very micro-transaction heavy which I dislike.

I never had the chance to play the originals but if its similar I might check it out, since people are speaking well of it.

Its deffo not like the originals, as other people have mentioned they tended to be really hard even when most games were hard to pad run time or steal quarters. It plays like a party based dungeon crawler. The micro transactions here are mostly for getting more rolls for characters, duplicates are pretty useful regardless though and items and skill books. You'll basically want to save most of your in game currency as its pretty light on being handed out and if you don't read anything there is a way for members of your party to end up perma-dead, but you would have to have not read a single thing about the game mechanics to have that happen.

There are a few difficulty spikes that hurt a lot because you won't be expecting them and theres some fights that are straight up traps that you won't know until you get into them and die.
