Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL GAME

Dive into a world of high-stakes magic and mayhem as the power-hungry Overlord Trebor clashes with his archrival, the bumbling but dangerously gifted archmage Werdna. After Werdna’s mishandling of an all-powerful amulet triggers a massive earthquake beneath Trebor’s castle, a ten-level labyrinth brimming with monsters springs forth. Werdna claims this underworld as his new dark domain, while Trebor, refusing to be outdone, hails it as the ultimate proving ground. Only the bravest adventurers can dare to brave its twisting corridors, vanquish fiendish hordes, and reclaim the stolen amulet to earn a place in Trebor’s elite honor guard.
As one of the pioneering titles that shaped dungeon-crawling RPGs alongside Ultima and Might & Magic, Wizardry lets you forge a custom party of up to six heroes. Choose from humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and hobbits across good, neutral, or evil alignments, then select fighters, priests, mages, or thieves, each class later evolving into powerful elites like samurai, bishops, lords, and ninjas. Arm your band with the finest weapons and armor before delving into a fully immersive 3D vector maze, where turn-based combat, hidden treasures, and legendary challenges await. Perfect for both retro enthusiasts and modern adventurers seeking a timeless quest.
