Great remake
I never played the original, but I can see what all the fuss is about. This is a great game.

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord
Description
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.

A lovingly-crafted remake, full of character, clever design and gut-punching difficulty. Just as it was back in 1981.

Looks Promising
Well since the game is in development right now there are major issues like a character levels up and then losing the level reset to the level is was created. Another thing is with the map. The map just shifted to the right as I was progressing so it didn't represent the places I had traveled before. Mouse not supported right now, even though I can't of got used to the keyboard but still. It seems very nice as far as graphics is concerned and feel of the game. I think with the proper care and development it can be a great game to play. For now it's like a demo version of a game. Not full featured yet.
