Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

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.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 2: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Classic nostalgia - played so many of these dungeon crawlers as a kid (pretty sure I played this and other Wizardy games). I imagine i save-scummed back in the day too. For me, this remaster was an Old Murphy's Ghost afk-clicker - but i enjoyed leveling up and fixing my otherwise gimpy party. Too brutally punishing for today, but almost felt like a rouge-like in some ways. Gaming history - must play.
進行不能バグがおおすぎて萎える
I was hyped for this game because i enjoyed Wiz8 a lot, but sadly it was too hardcore for me. It has really interesting things and the layout of every floor is AMAZING, but the combat is too much, with enemy parties being three times the size of yours, they having a lot of armor while attacking through yours easily, status effects like Paralyze and Poison meaning your character is pretty much dead... Having to pay thousands of gold to revive only one character while getting 30 coins per fight, loot being useless... At some point i decided to use cheats for god mode, insta-kill and inifnite money... and still i had 2 more parties die in the same room! Because enemies have an "insta-kill" ability that ignores how much life you have. The remaster adds some beautiful art and really nice accesibility features, but that's all, the gameplay is the same as the old 1981 game.
Gelungene Neuauflage eines der wegweisenden Games der frühen 80er. Ein paar Quality of Life Changes, die man aber auch abschalten kann um das Original Feeling von '81 zu bekommen. Insgesamt echt zu empfehlen für Jeden der mal erleben will wie die wahren Anfänge der heutigen RPGs und Adventures so waren.
懐かしいのとゆっくり楽しめること
Slow, rigid, repetitive, terrible UI and controls. The "exploration" is extremely poor. This whole thing wouldnt do well in an average gamejam if you disregard the nostalgia factor, and you are paying price of a full proper game for it.
懐かしいRBGです。今、動かしてみると6人編成での役割分担などかなり制約があり、それが新鮮に感じれらます。ただし、地下七階のファイヤードラゴンの固定は登場は思い切りゲームバランスを壊しています。
