About
Featuring the GRAMMY® Award-winning score by Winifred Phillips!
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is a full 3D remake of the first game in the legendary Wizardry series of RPGs.
The first party-based RPG video game ever released, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord was a direct inspiration to series like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Digital Eclipse's revival preserves the appeal of the classic, with many upgrades for modern role-playing game fans.
Dungeon Crawling, Deluxe
Craft your own party of adventurers and head into the labyrinth at the behest of the mad overlord Trebor, in search of the amulet stolen by the evil wizard Werdna. Battle groups of challenging enemies, avoid hidden traps, and make your way deeper into the dungeon as you prepare for the ultimate battle: Facing Werdna himself.
Commitment to Accuracy
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is built directly on top of the original 1981 game's code. Although it looks all new, underneath the hood is the authentic game. You can even view the original Apple II interface as you play.
Challenge Without Hassle
While the well-known difficulty of the enemies has not been altered, quality-of-life improvements have been added in every area. Party management, navigation, spellcasting, and combat have all been significantly enhanced.
A Legend Reborn
If you're just discovering the legendary Wizardry franchise, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is the perfect jumping-in point for new players. Series veterans will love the gorgeous new graphics and sound, and the streamlined interface.

Esa sensación de perderse en el laberinto y pensar "¡Mierda!, la he cagado, me van a matar" no la había experimentando antes en ningún otro rpg. Al principio me gustó el juego, luego dudé de si quedármelo porque no entendía algunos conceptos, luego pregunté a la IA para que me explicase los conceptos básicos (son las reglas en parte de los de los juegos de mesa de D&D, los cuales nunca los he jugado) y miré un vídeo de la parte inicial. Aún sin estar convencido quise darle otra oportunidad (controlando el tiempo límite para la devolución) y me lo he quedado, porque me gusta mucho. Una vez que pillas las reglas del juego, las cuales, en realidad son sencillas, este te atrapa. Dale una oportunidad, y si no te mola lo devuelves
UIバグの多さを、操作でなんとかカバーする必要あり モンスターが動くのも無くせるといいのだが毎回はだるい 懐かしむにはいいが、爽快感と一瞬にしてヤバってなる感覚はもはやない 5つの試練で、このシナリオ作ってくれればそれでいいのだが
A great version of the classic RPG. The chef's kiss is the little Apple ][ emulator window showing you that you are, deep down, still playing the same Wizardry from all those years ago.

freezing game bad bad wizardry
This game is one of those games that you just can't forget. This game was my first experience into these ball-crushingly hard games, and I loved every single second of it. From crushing Orcs and Life-Stealer's Skulls, to wiping an army of Ninjas wit TILTOWAIT, to the very last confrontation with Werdna himself. I humbly request to try and play this game despite the price tag. Truly, a classic from 1981.
Ah it takes me back. Plus a lot of quality of life improvements. Some nice little tweaks to the gameplay while still keeping the heart.
